A 10 million dollar 4th option is just stupid. And people who say Gasol is the MVP of the Lakers are complete morons. How can you go from a crappy ass team to the MVP of the league? Remind me, what place were the Lakers in in the West before Bynum got hurt? Oh wait I remember. 1st place in the West with Bynum and before Gasol. What were they winning by? Oh yeah 20 per contest and Kobe and Bynum were sitting a bunch of minutes in the 4th quarter if they had to play at all.
The Lakers need to trade Odom next season for a true swingman on a rookie contract to a team like the Bulls sign and trade for Deng or something like that at 10 mil per season.
Another scenario is to just sign Ariza for MLE to start at the 3 and trade Odom for draft picks to a team like the Nets and let him go play in Brooklyn.
Lakers won't pay Bynum 10 mil, Gasol 15 mil, Bryant 20 mil, Odom 10 mil, Sasha 4 mil, Farmar 6 mil, Fisher 5 mil, Turiaf 4 mil, Ariza 6 mil, Vlad 6mil, Walton 6 mil. Just too many good players to pay.
That is 92 million in contracts. I just don't see that happening.
