Remember the 7 foot fast breaks with Odom and Gasol. They fit in like a puzzle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9sZOxhMjz8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3og2bPeE2V8 They play perfectly together we should keep LO starting so he and Pau can play together.

I like both gone too but Luke has the better excuse,ANKLE INJURY and weed (that's why LO can't get himmself together).Same for Vlad but for him...it's just WEED.Try this one... http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=3002~3251~1016~3028~3032~3241&teams=3~3~4~13~13~13&te=&cash=!!!

Odom will sub for either Bynum or Gasol. Lets say Bynum tires then Gasol can slide to 5 and Odom can come in at 4. Or if Gasol needs to sub out then that works also. Start either Ariza or Radmanovic.

At least Vlad can shoot set 3s. Luke can only pass. Oh, let me tell you the reason why Luke should be the number 1 trade target: He can't make clutch shots so he refuses to take them, not that he would make them any way, so he ALWAYS passes out to other players. Result? A shot clock violation or a 2 point loss. [Comment ID #49859 Will Be Quoted Here]

Basically, a double double guy. Only Gasol and Bynum are the others who average double double. The way that the Laker FO or many experts see it, There is too much value to lose in Odom if they trade him one for one. So much to lose that they wouldn't trade him for any one player except if a player is a bigger superstar than him. But that wouldn't happen either unless a GM wants to cheat like Kevin McHale helped the Celtics by "giving" KG for "free." Then of course giving Odom wouldn't be free.

In his four years as a Laker Lamar has consistently demonstrated that he is a player that can NOT be counted on. Once again in the Finals against the Sucdics Lamar came through in typical Lamar-like fashion in that he had exactly ONE good quarter. And what was the talk before each game? "For the Lakers to win we need Lamar" or "Lamar should have a good game today", yet the results were always the same - the fans waiting for a big game from Lamar but he was off in Never Never Land as usual.
