I honestly have totally been 100% against trading Pau Gasol and Drew, but this year Andrew Bynum and him have just shown lack of consistency. Some nights they combine for 30 points 30 rebounds, and some nights they can't even do half of that. I think this trade would benefit all teams, and obviously the Lakers the most. Kobe still has some great years on him, this will make the team younger, and give us a chance to sign Deron Williams after next year as well. Here is the overview.

Lakers Starting 5: Sessions, Kobe, Hedo, Anderson, Dwight.
Lakers Bench: Fisher, Goudelock, Barnes, Artest, Murphy. Maybe sign Arenas to run PG/SG along GLOCK and Fish

This lineup would highly improve the Lakers 3 point shooting, but we will also have the greatest rebounder in the NBA. Back when Kobe and Shaq ruled LA, the team wasn't filled with stars, it was filled with role players, and players who can hit 3s. Adding Anderson and Turk will spread the floor for Kobe, just like Horry and Fox did. Although we are giving up Gasol and Bynum, we will be getting much more in return. This clears up about 6-7 million dollars worth of cap space. Next year Sessions will become a free agent so therefore thats about 10 Million cleared up for next year, with the amnesty clause on Artest, we could more than likely bring in DWill when it all comes to an end.

The Cavaliers would do this why? Sessions is playing well with the Cavs, I don't think they would trade him, especially for those scrubs.

We would literally become the Orlando Magic after that trade. No.

dwight is not worth pau and bynum.

Cavs would also get the Lakers next Draft Pick. This is what Cleveland has been wanting for awhile now. And yes, we do become the Orlando Magic, but a Magic team with Kobe and Ramon Sessions at the Guard spots is pretty amazing.

We get real small real fast. Hedo's contract is too much for too long. Cleveland may not have a choice but to trade Sessions if Sessions pushes for it. He has a player option next year. Cleveland can have Blake and a second round for Sessions. With Inving and Gibson in Cleveland, Session won't play nearly as much as he will in LA. Miami screwed us in the Shaq trade; we are in position to do the same to others

Nobody can defend Durant, but Artest is one of the few guys who can make things a bit difficult for Durant.
