Next four Lakers games could mean a lot for Heat

In this weeks latest edition of "Where will Carmelo Anthony get Traded?", the Los Angeles Lakers have become the trendy pick.

With so many rumors out there about where the Denver Nuggets forward will ultimately end up, it seems like aside from the New York Knicks, the Lakers are the only other legitimate contender for Anthony's services. 

In a report by ESPN'S, Chris Brossard, Brossard says that the Lakers would consider trading their highly skilled but often injured center, Andrew Bynum in a deal for Anthony.

If that trade were to occur, that could spell even more trouble for the Heat. 

Could Carmleo really end up in L.A.?

The Lakers are currently 0-5 in games against teams that are considered serious title contenders, such as the Heat, the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Boston Celtics (lost twice). 

However unlikely it may be for the trade to occur, it will be interesting to see how the Lakers staff responds after their upcoming four game road stretch against the Celtics, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic,  and Charlotte Bobcats. 

Should the Lakers lose three of those four games, I think there is a great chance this trade happens, with the Lakers in search of their third consecutive title, and the desire of head coach, Phil Jackson to win one more title before hanging it up for good. 

Just the idea of Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Pau Gasol, and Lamar Odom should be enough to make Heat fans quiver. The Heat may be able to boast the best "big three" in the league, but it might not be enough going up against the Lakers potential "big four". 

So if you're a Heat fan, or a fan of any contending team other than the Lakers, what would you like to see happen on the Lakers upcoming road test? Maybe you'd actually LIKE to see the Lakers lose all four games because you think the Anthony trade would make the team weaker, due to the loss of a true center, in Bynum. 

We have to remember that the past two seasons the Lakers have won the championship, it was with Bynum in the lineup throughout the finals. In 2008, when they lost to the Celtics, Bynum was injured and could not play. 

Either way, you can never count the Lakers out. But if they happen to pickup Anthony, Lebron might be chewing his finger nails down to the bone.
