DO we still got that trade execption from the lamar trade?

I'm pretty sure we do...they expire a year after the trade (December). Lakers never use the exceptions and nobody is going to give up value for a trade pick anyway.

Trade Pau: some one (likely houston) will take his contract, in fact I promise hes pretty much done as a laker. Id only keep pau if we traded bynum for a great point guard, and moved pau back to the 5.

Ditch/bench blake or sessions: both of them are not the point gaurds we need for this team. With the offensivly challanged brown, and egotistical bryant, we need either a great shooting point guard, or a true floor general that can command the team.

Keep bynum: you have to keep bynum, he like the randy moss of this team being that, even if he aint producing he can still draw a double team based off his size and potential, but we have to pair him with reliable perimeter shooting to make his presence effective.


Develop bench/attain youth: there might be a gem or two on this bench besides jordan hill, Ive heard christian eyenga is a poor mans ibaka. apparently he is really rough but extremely athletic. also heard we had danny green in our d league and let him go. With that said, most of the bench is expendable, Morris, Goudlock, McRoberts, Murphy, and Barnes. We need a great 6th man, some one who can spell kobe. A Jason Terry/James Harden type.

Ron Artest: I think he is to much of a liability to keep. If he isnt ditched Id atleast like to see him as bench status who comes in for gooning/defense.

Andre Iguodala was nearly traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Lakers last June. In the hours leading up to the 2011 NBA Draft, the two teams were discussing a potential deal that would’ve sent Iguodala to Los Angeles in exchange for several pieces including Lamar Odom and a draft pick.

The Lakers were ready to pull the trigger on the deal and the Sixers strongly considered it. However, Philadelphia ultimately turned down the trade because they believed that Odom would be unhappy and unmotivated after being dealt from Los Angeles.

After watching Odom struggle with the Dallas Mavericks and get dismissed from the team in April, there’s no question that Philadelphia made the right decision. Their read on Odom was entirely accurate – he had the worst year of his career, averaging 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds – and now they find themselves one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, if the Sixers are eliminated by the Boston Celtics in Game 7, the general consensus around the league is that they’ll try to trade Iguodala this summer. Even with Philadelphia’s recent success, league sources insist that Iguodala is a player who could be moved this offseason if the right offer comes along.

The Lakers, who are looking to shake their roster up this offseason, are expected to once again emerge as a potential suitor for Iguodala. The 28-year-old would be an excellent fit for Los Angeles and solve their problem at small forward. Sources close to the situation say that Kobe Bryant would welcome the move since he has wanted the Lakers to acquire an athletic, versatile small forward for several years.

After missing on Iguodala last summer, the Lakers may be able to land him this offseason if they’re willing to part with the right pieces. With that said, Los Angeles will have competition for the small forward. Many teams are expected to express interest if Iguodala becomes available. This season, he averaged 12.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 62 games with the Sixers.

Many players will be mentioned as possible targets for the Lakers this summer, but Iguodala is a realistic option given that these teams have flirted with this possibility in the no-so-distant past.

I really hope the LAkers pull this off with just swapping Pau for Iggy and see if Philly will be willing to take Artest. Iggy is an upgrade over both Pau and Peace imo. Hopefully they make it happen and you know Kobe will be down with it and that Iggy is a Kobe stan so I really do hope they make it happen.

Eatin good off this right now!

lol yea I know I don't think Philly would be that dumb to take on Pau and Peace's contract, but this is the Lakers we are talking about lol But, Iggy would be great imo and would be served as a great and perfect 3rd option behind Kobe and Bynum.

Damn, I meant liability. SMH. Lol
