iggy for odom now being discussed... but I just wish that we'd try to keep odom, and trade artest... i just don't see iggy or artest having a big impact if either come off the bench... maybe we could move kobe to 1, iggy to the 2, or vice versa (d*mn im still thinking triangle offense where big pgs are useful) but that would destroy our bench
It's an upgrade in talent AND you dispose of a horrible contract (Luke Walton). The Lakers matchup a lot better with the Heat if they make this trade. You can have Iggy defend Wade, Artest on LeBron and Kobe playing free safety. It will also be tougher for teams to run pick and roll because the Lakers would be able to switch up because these three players are capable of defending multiple positions effectively. Point guard would still be an issue, but hopefully the Lakers can find a free agent or get a capable player with 1 of 4 second draft picks.
I remember the sixers were now willing to deal away louis williams because of the development of holiday. Maybe Mitch can work with that, offering Odom, Walton, Blake picks for Iggy and Williams? That would leave the sixers with Holiday: Turner - Young/Odom - Brand - Odom - Speights/Hawes BN: Nocioni, Walton, Blake, etc. pretty solid if you asked me. But it's too good to be true lol
Mitch just stated that Lakers aren't shopping anyone around. Seriously... I'm worried that the FO feels that we don't need to mix up the roster, bec we really need to if we want to win now.
