Anyone here this? I don't know what I'd do if the Lakers got Chandler on the cheap like they did with Gasol. edit: oops, I forgot the (?) in the title, jsut a rumor I heard.
Re: OT: Chandler to the Lakers I know what you'd be doing--You'd watch them play in the NBA Finals. I guess it would be Odom for Chandler.
Re: OT: Chandler to the Lakers In some ways, I hope they do. Show our GM yet again how a trade mid season can help.
I can't imagine the Lakers trading Odom for Chandler. Tyson would be a terrible fit in the Triangle offense.
i doubt the lakers give would give them odom. oklahoma city just gave them nothing, so why would the lakers actually trade them something with value?
Would love seeing it. He played like crap this year and Odom was big for them in the last month. Do it - it would really give us a much better chance at them come playoffs time. Do it. Do it.
One team may be willing to "live with" the time it would take to heal an injury that another team may not.
According to ESPN: Chandler didn't fail the exam over the ankle injury. The deal was rejected after the Dr who operated on his big toe told OKC that the toe *could* become a chronic problem. My guess? Presti made a good money-for-talent trade, and his tightwad bosses pitched a fit. All this toe nonsense is just an excuse for buyer's remorse.
What other large expiring contracts do the L*kers have? That's what NO wants, and that's why I assumed it was for Odom.
