Bynum, Odom, & Kwame Being Offered for KG <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Times first reported the talks as a multi-player negotiation involving the Lakers, Minnesota, Indiana and possibly a fourth team. Sources now say the Lakers are dealing directly with Minnesota and disagree about the involvement of the Pacers and a fourth team. The Lakers are reportedly offering the Timberwolves Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown for Garnett.</div> Source: LA Times
dammit. Ink it already! man. Wasn't Bynum projected to go at least 3rd in this draft class? There you have it Mchale! Your high pick and still get 19!!! This is the closest to actually getting KG the Lakers have ever been. don't let it slip away!!!
yeah it sounds like a good deal, but imagine KG opt out next year and Kobe follows him lmao. I see combo of Kobe+KG getting into 2nd round, but not passing through it. Just because it takes more than 2 players to carry the team in the west. Example T-mac,Yao,Nash Amare and they do have a great bench, Looser and Williams. In my opinion it takes atleast 3 players or may be 4. I don't see anyone besides KG and Kobe stepping up in LALLA LAND.

Not just Jordan...but Pippen too! Come on? A week ago everyone was shooting down 'KG and Kobe' and now it looks like its going to happen. Be optomistic, anything can happen already next year!

Gary Payton and Karl Malone came to Los Angeles when Shaq and Kobe were here for that reason didn't they? Why do you think Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning went to Miami? To win a ring.

Lakers are trading half of their roster for 1 player.... and the rest of their roster just seems to be a pointless empty space.

Kobe Bryant is better than Dwyane Wade and Kevin Garnett is still in his prime while Shaq was on the decline when Payton and Zo came to Miami. Any time you have two players with the talent and passion that Kobe and Kevin play with, you're going to have a contender.

Bynum, Kwame, and Odom is not half the roster. especially when you get a deal like this to land the former league MVP. This is a no brainer.
Wow, pull the damn trigger!!!! I think it's Minnesota holding up this trade more than anything. The Suns will be bummed out if this trade falls through.
I'am so excited right now, like Trench said, this is the closest we have ever been. This calls for a inspiring video... Invalid Video Link Invalid Video Link

If Kobe and Garnett are both playing in Los Angeles next season, I will dish out however much money DISH Network is charging for NBA League Pass. That would be so fun to watch.

He had a better series than Shaq.
<div class="quote_poster">The Legend Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Just a question: Whats KG's say in this?</div> Good question, wonder he thinks of working with Kobe and Phil too..
I really hope that this trade pulls of so the Lakers can be in the race for a championship. Now lets see whos going to be scared.
KG to the Lakers i hope this happens this will get Kobe happy and will get Laker fans crazy about KG coming to LA!Get Garnett!!!!!
