Dwight Howard and Chris Paul in L.A.? It's not a farfetched idea

Here are some highlights:

Orlando isn't as desperate to unload Howard and would ask for quite the return in a trade with the Lakers, wanting Andrew Bynum and Kobe Bryant, according to an official familiar with Orlando's thinking who was not authorized to speak publicly. He appeared to be joking. Maybe.

The Clippers could offer more than the Lakers, though the Clippers have not talked to Orlando. Clippers fans can thank Marko Jaric and the Minnesota Timberwolves for giving them incredible leverage in trade talks.
