<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trench:</div><div class="quote_post">A kobe/odom/artest trio would have been sick! OMG! two of the best defensive players on the floor at the same time! I would have gave up Bynum in a heartbeat to win now!!! besides, Odom/Artest/Kobe are still very young. If this was the deal and mitch didnt pull the trigger, I would be very pissed off.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This would have given us a core of Kobe-Odom-Artest-Kwame. The deal was definitely in place for Artest to be a Laker, and he really wanted to join the team. I think he would have been fine and under his best behavior in LA.</div> This would have been all the Lakers were looking for. Kwame can already play good D on the big men, add on Artest and Kobe shutting down the 2 and 3 and we would have been sick. Wow Kobe - Odom - Artest, Championship!
