Laker Fan Inquiring About Shaq...

[Cash]

I think Farmar would have to be included in any reasonable package. Although if the Lakers traded for Shaq, what would they do when Bynum comes back next year?

Rebuilding is one thing. Trading for Lamar Odom isn't rebuilding.

Just as an aside, if the Suns DID trade Shaq to L.A., I would be in basketball heaven for a while...

Wait for him to go down with another season ending knee injury?

Play Bynum at the 4 for a while, or otherwise in a 30mpg 6th man role rotating between the 4 and the 5? It's not like he can't do what Gasol's doing... sure, he doesn't shoot as well, but he can receive the ball at the top of the key for a quick move to the rim or work the midscreen off of ball reversal... that's how he was shooting 60% and scoring 13 ppg last year...

That would be sweet if Shaq went back to LA. Bynum would have KAJ and Shaq teaching him the game. Odom and Vlad-rad seems pretty realistic. It would be pretty funny if LA traded Odom for Shaq again.
