Check out the trade scenario breakdowns from a salary guru's standpoint <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TRADE #1: Odom, Bynum, Evans and Farmar for Garnett. TRADE #2: Odom, Bynum, Evans and Vujacic for Garnett. TRADE #3: Odom, Bynum, McKie (re-signed for $2,099,404) for Garnett (after July 1). TRADE #4: Odom, Bynum and Brown for Garnett and Jaric.</div> http://getgarnett.com/blog/?p=140
Those trade sinarios have been talked about in the past, and simply one young player in Bynum isn't enough for them because they don't really want Odom. Plus they won't even get a draft pick out of that. Out of curiousity, why does everyone keep suggesting a sign and trade for McKie? He hardly played at all for us the past two seasons, why would anyone bother to sign or trade for him?

He would get a 3 year deal at the amount needed, with the last two years team options. I agree with you, the TWolves aren't interested in Odom or Bynum, they want lottery picks. This is what's so frustrating to watch from the sidelines. There are teams with high picks interested in Odom and Bynum, so I don't understand why the Lakers can't work a 3 team deal out. Atlanta is trying to trade one or both lottery picks. Bobcats have been shopping the 8th pick for two weeks now. Boston isn't in love with the #5 pick. When does the light bulb go off and the Lakers do what's necessary to get Minnesota what they want, by dealing Odom or Bynum for those pieces?
