Sorry, meant instead of Odom.
league's leading rebounder = worst defensive big man? kobe is a coniferous who never gets old i think kobe can maintain good form till his 40s imho, pau however already shows signs of aging, artest was a terrible signing in the first place and can possible turn tumor anytime.
trade artest (or odom) + glassman for DH + whatever trash, Pau to minny for LOVE and da #2 pick, lakers STACKED
Next topic up for debate is how much Kobe's legacy diminishes when doesn't win with Dwight
Lateral move tbh. They get better defensively but the holes at the wing are still glaring.
Gasol/Bynum/Barnes for Howard/Nelson/JJ Re
This trade would make both teams better imho.
Magic:
Arenas/Richardson/Barnes/Gasol/Bynum
Lakers:
Nelson/Kobe/Artest/Odom/Howard
Because Kobe needs ANOTHER big man in his prime
or a big man has always needed Kobe...Shaq before Kobe no rings...Gasol before Kobe 0-12 .......
Kobe not getting out of the first round without either one of them
Anyone who wants Dwight will have to take Arenas and/or Turkoglu. And 30+yr old Odom doesnt make any sense if the Magic go into rebuilding mode.

If im Dwight i sign as a FA in 2012 with Brooklyn and let them ship out Lopez for an allstar wing like Iggy
Deron
Morrow
Iggy
Humphries
Dwight
Outlaw
Priority #1 - Replace Fisher with a capable PG
Priority #2 - Get a good staff to cover up Brown's incompetence
Priority #3 - Better bench
Priority #392 - Get Dwight Howard
Of course the Lakers are willing to offer Odom and Bynum.
The real question is if Orlando's FO is re ed enough to accept the deal.
regardless lakers don't get any better.
The real point is Lakers lost because of their ty bench and Kobe's new role as bag of of the team. Getting Dwight won't change those 2 factors one bit.
Swap those pieces and I don't think that's a Lakers that gets swept by the Mavs, but it's not one that wins a ring either.
I'm sure Kobe would have won rings in Memphis..
Arenas is cancer to any team he plays for
I endorse that move..
Why would bynum walk?
if bynum proves worthy of a lucrative extension why would he not stay? his agent is souless parasite, bynum would take the best offer.
