[Justin Lee]

Atlanta Hawks Trade
85 Josh Smith - $10,800,000 - $11,600,000, $12,400,000, $13,200,000
72 Zaza Pachulia - $4,750,000 - $4,251,250 - $4,750,000 - $5,248,750

Total Outgoing - $15,550,000
Total Incoming - $$13,818,920

Los Angeles Lakers Trade
82 Andrew Bynum - $12,500,000 - - $13,700,000 - $14,900,000 - $16,100,000
65 Eric Maynor - $1,318,920 - $1,417,800 - $1,516,680 - $2,338,721 - $3,351,387

Total Outgoing - $13,818,920
Total Incoming - $15,550,000

I accept this trade. I love the potential that Bynum shows when he can actually play. He's injured but when he's healthy he's a dominate force in the paint. This lets me move Horford to a more natural PF position where I think he can produce much better. I also lost my back-up PG in Teague so this helps bring in Maynor, who has shown to be a decent back-up. Also not a fan of Pachulia's contract, so at least I can rid myself of it

accept.
very very sad to see bynum go - especially after he dominated Dwight Howard in the last sim...Bynum is younger, a Center and has more potential, but Smith is the better player right now...also one of the best 3 defenders in the world - so i have to say yes
after watching Odom at the world cup, i also wanted to start him at PF and Smith at SF, Gasol now plays C.

[Josh Barber]

I accept.

The Lakers play 3 times better in real life when Gasol is the center instead of Bynum because of their triangle offense. I still think Bynum is a bit overrated, but I guess he is worth Josh Smith

[Ian Noble]

I like this deal for both teams. I accept.

[Alex James]

Accept. The Hawks pay a high price, but finally land a legit center, and one that will be an All Star, if he stays healthy. For the Lakers, Gasol can play center at a high level and Josh Smith has the versatility to fit into their star studded roster.

[Jay Triano]

I accept.

[Willis Reed]

Accept.

[Ian Noble]

Trade finalized.
