Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and the No. 19 pick. They'll be willing to throw in another player (take your pick of Jamaal Tinsley, Troy Murphy or Marquis Daniels) for Kwame Brown's expiring contract. That's a heavy price for O'Neal, but if the Lakers are really going to appease Kobe, this might be the price they have to pay. kind of sad .. Word JO in LA soon ..

As to the point that LO can play 5 (or 4) different positions, I don't give that too much weight simply because he can play only one position at a time. Also, with a well constructed lineup LO should only be asked to play one position on a regular basis, either SF or PF.

The guy can play 4 different positions on the floor JO can only play 2. HE IS A LOT MORE VALUABLE TO ANY TEAM THAN JO!!! So unless its a straight up deal i wouldn't touch that trade. The sad thing is that every team now knows that the Lakers are in a bit of predictament so that kind of weakens their postion in talking trades with other teams. I say make a run for Artest if that doesn't work out then you bring in a couple of veteran role players and stick it out for another year because you'll have Kwame's 9mil off the books and then you can pursue a top notch FA!

All 3 guys could be in LA, and Lakers have a lot of tradeable contracts, my scenario is feasible IMO but there could be a combination of trades to get the 3 in LA. Easier said then done but it's feasible. Blake Kobe Artest JO Camby A Dream could come true

An NBA source said some teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, have called the Nuggets to inquire about center Marcus Camby, although nothing imminent is on the table. I would take Camby way ahead of JO if I had the choice? BTW, Does anyone know how that would work salary wise? …………..

Aren't we looking at the same "two players making way too much $ so we can't pay anybody else, Karl Malone, Gary Payton scenario" here? Looks like it's down to Rambis and Stan Van Gundy in Sacramento according to the sacbee.com. No JO without keeping LO.

He's overrated and injury prone. Get somebody else please. We don't need another "superstar" on this team. What we need is competence. Players like Rasheed Wallace and Rip Hamilton. We won't get those particular guys. But I would take two of that type over one JO anyday. I can’t believe that JO gets more than Kobe. He’s overrated and injury prone. Get somebody else please.
