Their Big 3 is better than our Big 3
What we're missing is a great outside shooter to match Ray Allen. If we trade Odom for Michael Redd then I believe we can match them.
Paul Pierce - Kobe Bryant
Kevin Garnett - Pau Gasol
Ray Allen - Michael Redd

just because Odom is tall I would not call him a one of our big 3. that honor goes to Bynum.
I would rather go with Artest or Battier.

Just because Memphis gives you $5 for every dollar you trade dont expect the rest of the league to.
To get Redd, it will cost you more then Odom, especially after his play in these finals.

You don't need another all-star.
You need someone like James Posey.
Fisher
Kobe
Ariza
Gasol
Bynum
That's your starting 5 without trading Odom. And thats a VERY VERY good defensive team.
One thing that wouldn't be too hard would be a possible Odom for Maggette trade.
Fisher
Kobe
Maggette
Gasol
Bynum
bench:Farmar,Ariza,Walton,VladRad.
You almost have a player to match any style then. You have a perfectly rounded offense and a great defense. Still need room for a more pure SG and a real C. See you don't even need to trade for an all-star because you already have your "2 and a half good players" before trading Odom. And you still have a MLE and first round pick to find those. This year it just doesn't seem to be the right mix.

That's absolutely right. Battier fits the bill. So does Butler, but our chances of getting him back are even slimmer than that of getting Battier. Gerald Wallace would be awesome, but good luck to Mitch calling MJ to propose that trade. At this point, Maggette seems like a very possible scenario.
Jackson and Artest can keep their seats. I would never want either one of them here, and I'm sure our F.O. feel the same way. You need a brain to play the tri. You need a good personality to fit in with the great chemistry we have. In that regard, and every other regard, Battier is absolutely perfect for us. He's the epitome of a class act professional and he plays great defense and knocks down his jumpers at a high clip.

But the Lakers were big favorites b/c everyone thought Kobe would be far and away the best player on the court and too much for the Celtics which obviously hasn't been the case.
Warned for trolling. Go back to the GB to spread your Kobe hate, we dont want it here. Of course you seem to pop up only after a loss.
