An Expiring or Cap space, neither of which you guys will have next year.

did you forget about odom?

did you forget to read?

I was replying to someone a few posts ago, agreeing that if you guys do not make a move this year, you pretty much will have no more trading chips anymore for the next few years.

the lakers wont have any more trading chips... so, what else is new? i must have forgot that the lakers have been consistently making trades the past several seasons. thanks for bringing me up to speed. and here i was looking forward to yet another midseason trade.

Riiiiggghhhhttt,

He replied to your post above [that you replied to with the riiiiiiiiggghhttt] mumbo jumbo. You said next year to him and he posted about Odoms contract next year. Next Year is what you claimed we wont have next year. Its all there in fine print.

Well, if we don't do the trade right now the other factors do come in.

Can Bynum step up to a level where it makes having Odom pointless? Then we'd likely let Odom expire and give Bynum close to the max.

Can Odom show us something out of his offseason training? If he does there's another reason to stand pat.

The FO I believe is not monitoring the players that fit our system as much as they should be, may be they are too busy solving Sasha's extension and a way to rid us of one of the bad contracts..

We should look into multiple options while working the cap at the same time, which according to Jerry West is where Mitch is very good at.
