Lamar Odom, Jordan Farmar, and Luke Walton for Kirk Hinrich and Nocioni. This only has a chance if Larry Brown takes the Chicago job, he absolutely loves Odom.
Why for Chicago? Big expiring to help them rebuild, they get a young PG to replace Hinrich.
Why for LA? Perfect tri 1 and a tough as nail 3 who can tighten up the perimeter defense. Odom can fetch us a package like this that I think improves the team dramatically in terms of rounding out skill sets. They also get to rid themselves of Luke, who certainly doesn't need to be here anymore. If you count a potential re-signing of Odom (even for cheap), and Farmar only a respectable contract extension, this trade could actually save the Lakers money in the long run.
C - Bynum, Mihm (no trade clause - no way he waives it)
PF - Gasol, Turiaf
SF - Nocioni, Ariza, Vlad
SG - Bryant, Machine
PG - Hinrich, Fisher
Add a few vets and we are off.
