    Don't know how much I trust this source (I read through the rest of his blog, and it's mediocre). But it's interesting to see all these options show up. Right now, it seems like Marion, Odom, and Josh Howard are all swingmen on the trade market and all three of those teams are looking for more inside toughness. JO's not going to completely solve that for any team, but we can hope that one gets desperate enough to bite.

    The team needs heart, not more size-to-skill-ratio players known for being lazy and somewhat retarded.

    It'd be mainly a contract move, IMO, as Odom expires after this year. And it'd definitely be a second option after any potential Marion deal.

    Either way I think DaRizzle's right in calling BS on this. LA was smart enough to dodge the JO bullet a couple years ago, and I think he's only exposed himself more since then.

    Chutney, I think you're pretty smart yourself for realizing this is BS. :]

    I don't mind getting Odom, even though this source has no validity behind it. However, I look at this only because his contract expires.

    This deal doesn't make sense for the Lakers unless the deal includes Luke Walton.
