I think talent wise, yes it's an improvement. And Kirk is a great fit for the triangle, and it would fix our only weakness. But losing Lamar is an automatic net loss for the Lakers
Well imo, Artest+Tyrus+Kirk > Odom+Ariza overall, but that is a lot of change and volatility from a championship team.
Then again, I am pretty high on Tyrus's game.

Hinrich would easily be the best pg on the lakers. And his defense is very underrated. That would be a solid move...but the Lakers would still need to address the bench.
Hinrich is a glorified White Chocolate Williams.
why make a thread about a source that said COULD. just speculation. they got the hits they wanted. easy tricking people into something that might be untrue
Odom has to agree to play for Chicago. Is there any indication he would?
It seems to me he'd be more willing to play for Miami for less money than anywhere else. I can see him in Miami soon.
I would take it if it means not losing Odom and getting nothing in return.
Wouldn't like this move for Bulls! Tyrus may easily be better than Odom within the next couple of years and Odom seems like the type to get lazy after a big payday!
I also don't think Odom is the type of 4 the Bulls are or should be looking for.
Heinrich plays defense. Just as Dwayne Wade.
He's perfect in the triangle. Good spot up shooter, can play the 2 guard, high IQ and doesn't demand the basketball in his hands to produce. Huge upgrade over Fisher while Odom would be a luxury coming off the bench. Lamar is more of a insurance policy more than anything.
Wrong again, lakaluva!
LA is the only team that can sign him and immediately trade him. When a team signs someone as a free agent from another team there is a waiting period (I think it is 3 months from the date they signed?) that must pass before he can be involved in any trade. See the excerpt below:

76. Can a free agent be signed and immediately traded?Under no cir stances can a team sign and then trade another team's free agent. But there is a rule that allows teams to re-sign their own free agents for trading purposes, called the sign-and-trade rule. Under the sign-and-trade rule, the player is re-signed and immediately traded to another team. This is done by adding a clause to the contract which stipulates that the contract is invalid if the player's rights are not traded to the specific team within 48 hours.
A sign-and-trade deal can be made even with players who have been renounced, but cannot be made when the player is signed using the Mid-Level, Bi-Annual or Disabled Player exceptions. Sign-and-trade contracts must be for three years or longer, but only the first season of the contract must be guaranteed. The three year minimum (even though the last two seasons may be non-guaranteed) ensures that the new team will not acquire Bird rights to the player any sooner than if they had signed him directly, because they would have to waive him, after which they wouldn't be able to use Bird rights (see question number 25).
80. When can a team trade a free agent it signs? Do they have to keep him forever?
Generally, a player cannot be traded until three months after signing a contract or December 15th of that season, whichever is later. This does not apply to draft picks, who can be traded 30 days after signing their contract. In addition, if the player is playing under a one-year contract and will have Larry Bird or Early Bird rights at the end of the contract, he can't be traded without his consent. If consent is granted and the player is traded, then he loses his Larry Bird or Early Bird rights, and enters free agency as a Non-Bird free agent. For example, Seattle signed Vladimir Radmanovic to a one-year qualifying offer on September 21, 2005. Therefore, Radmanovic could not be traded at all until December 21, 2005. After December 21, 2005, he could only be traded if he consented to the trade (he did consent and was traded to the Clippers). He became a Non-Bird free agent with the Clippers in the summer of 2006 (and signed instead with the Lakers).
