NBA.com, ESPN, Realgm, pretty much all major sporting news pages are confirming it. Sources have confirmed. The deal is agreed upon, just need an approval tomorrow from the league office that everything matches up.

It's pretty much a done deal.

An injured Howard is not THAT much of an improvement over Bynum.

Stern also vetoed that trade as acting owner of the Hornets. He cannot do that since he does not own any of the 4 teams in the trade. If the salaries match (they do), the deal will be approved. It's pretty much a done deal.

And @ Ku33v DH isn't injured anymore. Doctors have confirmed he'll be able to play and his back is of no problem. Which is why the Lakers have rolled the dice and went for the trade with everything they have. This is a HUGE improvement over Bynum.

Oh hell yeah man. Nash, Kobe, Gasol AND Howard? That's fucking insane. Add in MWP, Jamison, Hill, Blake, Ebanks off the bench? We're a lock for the ship this year.

Jamison is the big sleeper, or he should be, he avg'd what like 17 or 19 last year? i mean he wont now but still he has game.

I'd leave Nash in full first quarter, split minutes in the first with Pau and Jamison.

Nash will get both of them at least 6 points each in those 6 minutes.

nash should be dominate as point guard with the surrounding players. i'm excited as fuck...well when tomo comes and its final i should say. i want kobe to get 7 rings

He'll get at least 7.

I hope so. we can't say for sure. his chances got better now.

but he also said he's prolly retiring in 2 years, which means he'd have to win the next 2

Knowing Kobe, if we win the next two years (highly likely considering our damn roster now!!), he'll be even hungry for more.
