Arent JO's knees questionable?
If the Lakers make this trade they pretty much show that they have no faith in Bynum.
Arent JO's knees questionable?
well JO earns $21 million and his contract expires in 2010. lakers could be looking for some cap space by packaging odom with walton. walton's toxic contract extends until 2013 so the lakers might be trying to lure another team into taking it by using odom's expiring $14 million contract. but all that aside, do it lakers. then i can listen to bynum about not getting more touches in the post.
If JO becomes a Laker, Bynum disappears
Noway the Lakers would be dumb enough to make that trade. JO's a big question if he will ever ever come close to his old days and personally I thought he was overrated then. Especially this late in the season would make no sense.
I would do this trade in the offseason if everyone is healthy and regardless if the lakers win the chip. Still, it's intriguing to say the least. I love Odom but he's not a scorer and the lakers need another scorer coming off the bench and a legitimate post up threat in JO. Are JO's best days behind him....possibly but he's had some great games in Toronto this year. He can still rebound, hit the outside shot and help defense.
I would also like Odom in Toronto. He'd start opposite Bosh and give them another look and I'd think he'l flourish in that system.
You have got to be kidding me. Did Peter Vescey right this crap?
I think the Lakers would be just as likely to trade Gasol to the Pistons for Kwame before this Odom BS happens.
This trade sounds exactly like the Kidd/Harris & Marion/O'Neal trade.
The same recycled trade rumor we've read about concerning these two for the last couple years now.
Well, he's better than Bynum, at least.
Where the do you people come up with some of this bull ?...That would never happen in a million years...I am wasting my time writing about so much bull , I am done with this ... THIS!!
Odom was the player on the Lakers that gave the suns the most trouble when the suns were good a couple years back. They had no one to guard him.
A better rebounder, a better defender.
On offense Bynum doesn't do anything but take lobs from Kobe and try soft turnaround jumpshots, and I think J.O. can do that.
Won't Happen.
Thank God.
This Is Not Even Being Discussed On Laker Forums Or Insiders.... Can We Have A Giant Lock On This Thread
sounds more like someone's fantasy trade.
????
Makes no sense for the Lakers.
Odom put up 19 points and 9 rebounds tonight in 30 minutes. He's a rich man's Jermaine O'Neal.
The problem with the Raptors is their terrible interior D...compliments of Chris Bosh and J O'Neal.
Both are great Offensive players but neither one plays good D.
They need to get rid of one of them and get a defensive minded big.
No one on the Raps play D though. Maybe they should get a centre instead of playing skinny PF at the 5.
Not really, Bynum would get more minutes and be featured in the offense more. JO would probably play backup center exclusively. Which means Pau wouldn't have to slide over to make room for Odom and Bynum can actually finish games.
Bynum is much more effective when given consistent minutes/looks.
The fact is Odom is most likely gone next season due to tax reasons. If the Lakers dump Luke's nuclear contract then Ariza can be extended long term and the Lakers would be more willing to spend the MLE on a player that actually deserves it after 2010. Hopefully on a point guard that can play defense.
Oneal Sucks and so does Lamar Odom!
It's an article of the Toronto Suns that has been relayed by some websites in the US and in Europe.
The fact this not even being discussed on laker forums doesn't mean .
Nevertheless IMO it's just a rumor like hundred of others in 1% of the cases it appears to be true and 99% it's just another rumor.
This trade not gonna happen unfortunately.
