From ESPN Rumors Section: Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is entering the final year of his contract with the team and he will be a free agent in 2013 if a contract extension is not signed by June 30. According to Yahoo! Sports, should Bynum be traded or reach free agency, his preferred destinations include the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Orlando Magic would probably send Dwight Howard to the Lakers, however they won't do it if Bynum doesn't sign an extension. Bynum reportedly is hoping the Lakers will offer him a max three-year extension, which is the most the team can do under terms of the new collective bargaining agreement. -- Nick Borges
