Look to move Odom now?

[Manexx]

My personal choice is Noch and fillers for Lamar Odom.

[Erik Eleven]

I would love Tayshaun Prince....

I really think the Pistons would possibly benifit from Odom too.

I would do that in a heartbeat.

I haven't watched many Toronto games but isn't he a PG? Can he defend the 2 and 3?

Starts at the 2, but can play the 3...

shoots a very percentage from 3 and is a very solid man defender... I prefer him over Battier because we can't get Battier without taking back long contracts...already gonna have Gasol, Bynum & Kobe making big bucks...don't forget that Turiaf, Sasha and Ariza are free agents we'd like to bring back...

Tayshaun Prince + Filler (Hunter)

for

Lamar Odom


its works salary wise

[Sedale Threatt]

But why in God's name would Detroit want to get rid of Prince -- a proven performer for them -- for a lightweight like Lamar? How does this make even a shred of sense?

[Manexx]

What if Bynum doesn't come this season ? We might need Odom. James Posey is another player we need to pry from Celts.

I know... but Odom improves their rebounding and gives them a mismatch oppurtunity... I don't know, but I always thought Prince would be perfect along side Bryant. Its just wishful thinking that Detroit sees that as a fair trade.

nocioni+fillers for odom

or if the pistons wanna give up prince

im all for it

[Kweli]

^ I'd rather have Battier than Nocioni

Also, I'd rather have Prince than Battier, but that isn't going to happen.

[Erik Eleven]

GMs of the league realize that this makes Odom a tradeable piece. Free agents and veterans of the league will want to go to the Lakers now. Who knows what might happen before the TD?

On paper, we are now a championship caliber team. As soon as we're healthy, we can take any WC team in a seven game series. I really like how we match up with the west

Yeah Nocioni would be pretty good. He's hard nosed, hits the three, plays tough...

[UThinkUrSoGood]

Is it just be, or does anyone think Maybe a Odom + Walton for Tracy McGrady would be good for this team? The way I see it, Odom isn't fit for our 3, Walton has become totally useless and will dissappear. Ariza is meant for a back-up, plus we already have Vlad.
Tmac IMO is a vast defensive upgrade over Odom and I think he is the perfect point-forward for Jackson's triangle. Anyone agree?

We are too clogged at our SF as it is
Ariza/Walton/Vlad/Odom
then our PF Situation
Pau/Turiaf/Odom/Vlad

With ridding ourselves of Walton and Odom for Tmac, we have a top tier SF Starter who can also move down to our shooting guard spot when Kobe is out.

[UThinkUrSoGood]

BTW, trade works

[Erik Eleven]

I'd do it.

I'd also do

Odom for

Battier
James
Snyder


And, I'd do

Radmanovic for
Shane Battier

[Showtime:Part2]

now that my body isn't shaking as much from giddyness, i sugges tthis:

don't trade odom. he's a BEAST in the playoffs. artest is a time bomb. battier isn't nearly the player odom is.

[Kweli]

I don't like the idea of Bryant and McGrady on the same team, and with Gasol and Bynum too?

I'd rather get a player who is a better fit to what the team needs (Battier) than just pack a bunch of superstar talent on the team.

[sackings916]

Artest/Kenny Thomas for Odom is a possibility. I dont know how Petrie feels about Odom though and how the Lakers feel about Artest. Lakers get their lockdown perimeter defender who can hit the 3, Kings get their PF in Odom who may fit in better as a playmaker than he did in the triangle offense and also dump KT's contract. I think its dependent if Artest is willing to accept a lesser role for a championship with Kobe,Gasol and Bynum. And the financial space this puts the Lakers with absorbing Thomas' contract may be another roadblock in the deal. I dont like Odom as a SF, he's too slow for the perimeter and I could see the Lakers defense struggling against the quicker, athletic teams with Odom and Gasol at the forward spots.

[dockingsched]

i don't imagine the lakers ever taking on kenny's contract. runs too long. lamar 5th option? he'll be in heaven.

[incontrol__]

Artest's too much of a risk as a fourth option. He could cause problems.

Shane Battier.

At first I was against Battier, but honestly, I think you're right

The dude is unselfish, lights out from the 3, an ironman, and can lock people up on d.

He's perfect.

Shortlist:
1. Battier
2. Miller
3. AK47
4. Nocioni
