That Orlando/OKC trade does make more sense, but if Howard went to the Lakers it wouldn't just be a straight up Howard for Bynum swap. They'd include someone like Gasol or Odom and then someone like Derrick Fisher. Maybe even a draft pick.
If I were Howard I would probably want to go to OKC over LA. Jerry Bus has proven that he's willing to make moves to surround his super stars with other stars and the Lakers franchise has a way better track record than OKC, but when you look at it long term who would you rather play with? An aging Kobe who's without Odom/Gasol and Bynum or a couple of 22 year olds like Durant and Westbrook who will only get better?
