the grizzlies won't make another trade with the lakers...rofl
If the Grzz pull the trigger on a deal of Lamar Odom for Mike Miller the Lakers will be unbelieveable. I don't want to think about it.

a) What trade are you talking about?
b) Mike Miller is on Minnesota.
c) That trade would make it easier for the Spurs to guard the Lakers.
BS le just to get attention. McCain fever...
This would actually make it easier for the Spurs to defend the Lakers. 3 point defense is a Popovich specialty. And that's basically all Mike Miller does.
i hate Mccain
Rip Van Winkle thread.
I hope Milwaukee doesn't trade Lew Alcindor!
The Mike Miller + Jason Collins to the Lakers for Odom rumor is quite popular right now. I'm sure there is some truth in it. It works out in many ways and is good for both the Lakers and Minnesota.
Lakers get a gritty/tough small forward & Minnesota clears cap space. If the trade does happen, the Lakers will get alot tougher and be able to give Paul Pierce some bruises if they meet in the Finals again.
I don't like it though since I like Odom but aside from that:
1) He's the kinder/gentler locker room voice to offset Kobe
2) He's versatile as
3) Matchup problems galore when you try to guard Odom
The only bad thing about Odom is his price. He's not "the man" and doesn't want to be "the man" but he's getting paid almost as well as "the man". Give him $8-$10 million and Lakers should re-sign him and keep the core intact.
a) Yes
b) Yes, where have these people been, he was included in the Love/OJ Mayo deal
c) Please do this trade
i missed the bus when was MM traded to minnesota?
On draft day
Why would you ever want to post a sig like this, with or without Bynum, when the conference the Lakers play in has so many 50-win teams in it?
Huh?
Since when is Mike Miller gritty or tough? Give Paul Pierce bruises? Are you thinking of the right Mike Miller?
Putting my sig where my mouth is. I'm hoping for a 70 win season. I know, I know call me crazy.

Hopefully they do it. Will be easier to beat the Lakers this year if so
He's one of the tougher dudes in the NBA. He's always been known as a gritty/tough guy on the court. You think Mike Miller is soft?
He thought he was Mike Tyson! Mike is tough and gritty, but not the tough and gritty to shut down or bother Pierce. I love MM, but his effort on defense far outweighs his abilities.
You are crazy! So, I want you to state that the Lakers will win 70 games so that we can have it on record. That way we can bump this thread and see how close you were.

I agree with your views on Odom. But Miller makes a lot of money too. Odom won't lead a team to the le as the #1 option, but if he's your #4 option, I'd say your team is in damned good shape. I wouldn't risk messing with the chemistry.... If L.A. doesn't feel confident going into this season with a healthy Bynum joining Kobe, Gasol, and Odom, they need to consult with some mental health experts, not make any more trades. I'd take Odom on the Spurs in a heartbeat.
If this trade goes down I'll be a happy laker fan.

Kobe
Miller
Pau
Bynum
Yes, having Odom is great, however in the SF role he needs a consistent J which he doesn't. Slashing to the rim and posting up is his strong suit and we have that with Kobe, Pau and Bynum. Also, at the price, given the lakers need to extend Bynum, it's a no brainer. You have a beautiful outside weapon when Kobe creates and put Sasha with Kobe and Miller and it's lights out.
The Lakers Suck--Now to Miller--the Griz are stupid and will take any deal that doesn't make sense!
If its true i hope it happens. Miller is no where near as good as Odom is.
This probably indicates that Bynum is healthy and looks good. Mike Miller to the Lakers doesn't improve the team any, unless they see Bynum taking a huge step and want to create offensive space for him. Even then, the trade is a wash from a Spurs perspective.
Why would the T-Wolves want Odom? Help me.
With Kobe deciding to forego surgery, the Lakers could use an extra scorer to keep them in games.
Nah, I don't think Mike's going to shut down Paul Pierce, by bruises I mean he has no problem with giving PP a good hard foul whereas you'd be pressed to find a Laker player willing to give a hard foul.
