Trade that would keep Odom and let go of bynum? = JO for Vlad, Kwame and Bynum --> Works in the Tradechecker (Plus Indiana is in a 'rebuilding stage' in which Kwame and Bynum would only help their cause) or = Gasol for Bynum and Kwame --> Also works (Bynum would grow alongside the young core of Warrick and Gay) Who to Sign with the MLE? = Sign Mo Williams (or Charlie bell if MLE isnt enough) for the MLE (good shooting PG that would fit the Triangle or = Magloire (for post presence) with the MLE then sign Steve Blake for around 2-3M a year That would leave us with: 1st 5: Bench: Mo Williams(Blake) Farmar/Vujacic Kobe Evans Odom Walton JO (Gasol with Vlad) Cook Mihm Turiaf (Magloire) Plus we could sign a SG/SF or a PF via draft or sign with the LLE or something If this happens then were all set! Thoughts? Please voice out what you think could go wrong
Why on earth would Indiana want to add more front court depth when they already got Granger, Murphy, Diogu and Foster.
Who cares about depth... Why on earth would Indy want Vlad? PS: I got a laugh out of us posting Why on Earth at the same time.
Well they are getting Kwame and Bynum... Maybe they could use Vlad for trades... Foster isnt that good and should be moved if they want to get better plus their bigs arent 'really C's'... theyre more of PF's

The only crap contract the Pacers have the even halfway interests me is Tinsley. If we could get him and get rid of Space Cadet, that might actually help our cause. He's a very good and very underrated point guard, and unlike Smush, he's going to look to get an assist before he scores. If he was on a team with Kobe and JO (and even Artest), he'd have the ability to get 8 or 9 assists every night.
Don't think that Indiana wants Vlad especially after his little lie or do I mean big lie. Don't see any team wanting him.If we want to get Jermaine were going to have to let Odom go. Kind of sucks but we need a Strong Foward.
I don't think we HAVE to let go of Odom. Again, it depends on the direction the Pacers want to go. If they want to completely rebuild, I'm sure Bynum/Brown/#19/Filler would do. It gives them cap flexibility at years end because of the Browns $9mil coming off the books, a young, young center prospect, and another pick in an uber-deep draft.
