howard must be going to la.

no way the lakers pull out of cp3 talk and send out odom for a pick unless they know howard is imminent.

no info what so ever, just common sense.

logical next step for lakers - use odom tpe for diaw+1st rd pick

then i'm guessing diaw for hedo, bynum for howard, 4 1st rd picks go to orlando.

otherwise this just doesn't make sense.
sixth man of the year, contending team, negotiating for cp3 - and now "dumped" for a pick ?
has to be howard.

Any exception created by dealing Odom isn't big enough to take in Turkoglu. I'm not seeing LA's endgame here, nor why Dallas would help.

I just have a question. Why didn`t LA traded Lamar Odom to the Pacers?

They are looking for a PF and I`m sure they would give more incentive than the Mavs.

LA just GIFTED Odom to a rival and it is not guaranteed they get Dwight.

Now all that's left to do is file tampering charges against the Nets.

otis you have to make this work... we can get NOLA young talent and picks...
our pick, all of our young players, fran vasquez who could come over next year (he only signed 1 yr deal), nelson is worth a pick and prospect on the market. we can do this, we really can.

That's what I'm saying, we'll take Oakfor off your hands, while you take Turk off our hands.

has to be howard.

If they do, that means the Lakers are willing to give up their entire front court for Howard, something I said they would have to do to get Howard from the very beginning. Lakers fans of course said that would never happen. Well it sure LOOKS like it is happening right now, LOL!

Otis better not trade him to LAL.. What we need to do is trade our TPE for OJ Mayo.. Create a package with Mayo+Nelson+Clark+Anderson at least its young talent.

Why? Because Lakers made a (what seems to be) bonehead move?

Have no idea if Mayo is even on Otis' scope? Would be nice to get him though for our TPE and a 1st rounder.

Don't get it confused, I'm with the Fire Otis crowd regardless of who we pick up.. His whole "we only want nice guys on our team" mentality is what killed this team...
