Lakers interested in Loul Deng

[milesfides]

Delonte West is a good player, a good point guard for us. He's a good all-around player, excellent rebounder for his size. I see him as a better defender than either FIsh or Farmar, though nowhere as good of a shooter. However, I don't see our team offering him anything that Cleveland wouldn't match.

Hinrich would be a bigger upgrade, although I still feel he's generally overrated. But I'd say he's probably the best PG somewhat available.

And the Lakers aren't trading Bynum.

We would love the Hinrich-Nocioni deal except for the fact that it sends our salary into the stratosphere. That's 17-18m in salary ever year. Simply massive.

Both are perfect fits on the other hand. Thanks to Vlad and Luke we can't pay them unfortunately.

Next year even if Kobe helps by opting in and out we'll be at 52m. That in addition to say 13m for Bynum's first year would put us with those two at:

- 82m or so

With more players still to come after that.

If Radmanovic were added along with Odom, then I may think about it seriously.

Wow @ hinrich not better than delonte west.

What a joke

Right now Odom is not really trade bait. They'll try him at SF and see if he fits. If he does woohooo, then we have an extremely tall and great front court. If not, Trevor plays more and we deal Odom for a SF backup, PF backup and a pick.
