So let's break thus down. Lopez is far from a nobody, Brooks showed some good stuff this year, Humprhies is a meh player that sadly will get some looks this year (really hope sixers don't go for him) and if they were to get Howard those picks wouldn't be lottery, but your shit assessment would be dead on. Bynum would be the best player in the proposed deals going back, but it'd be another guy you'd have to add to a sign and trade. Overall, not too much different. Unless you're trying to count Artest as a a non-nobody at this point.
