If your first course of action when waking up is checking your smart phone for an update on a Laker trade, constantly listening to AM radio for Laker updates, or spending a good 30 min on the espn trade machine...there is no doubt that this year has been wild from the nixed trade of CP3

My question is when can you remember trade rumors being this crazy during a season?

Maybe the year we were rumored to try and trade Bynum for Jason Kidd/Garnett/Jermaine Oneal

[West Coast]

I would say when the Bynum for Kidd rumors were in full effect.

[UKUGA]

It's the amount of media. Twitter is probably THE KEY item that has made the rumor mill so explosive.

Tweet, re-Tweet, re-peat.

[Rybee]

I want to hear what Laker_55 has to say about some trade deadline long ago that will take a massive dump on all these stories that all of us young guns can remember

Happens every time

[Henny Loc]

If twitter existed during the 90s era imagine how the George McCloud trade or Cedric for Horry trade would be digested by Laker bloggers

[Henny Loc]

If no trades happen Thursday and we get bounced in the 2nd round this year how bad do yall think the off season rumor mill will be???
