Best I would do
Lakers-Melo/Balkman and C.Anderson(For Trade X in separate trade)
Nuggets-Mayo/Thabeet/Caracter/Ebanks/Haddai/2013 LA 1st
Memphis-Odom/S.Williams/Luke/Return 2nd round pick(From LA)
Thats a very solid deal for the Nuggets and LO could put Memphis into the playoffs(by trading two players falling out of favor in Memphis)..Lakers get Melo/Anderson while giving up only 1 rotation Player

Salaries won't match from our end. Also Luke might have tobe added too. |
Oh, then that's the deal breaker

If the Grizzlies are getting LO then you might as well try and get Darrell Arthur from them. |

I could live with this 9-man rotation. |
Thank God your not the Lakers GM. |
LOL. Well, the rumor is Odom and picks, so yes, I think Mitch could do better. I was tossing Artest in there to round out the team cuz I'm not sure how he'd handle coming off the bench. Birdman gives you back the height that you lost in Odom, and he defends too. But I guess most "Odom" believers would laugh at this suggestion. Odom and Artest for Melo and Birdman would be laughed at any other year cause it wouldn't be an equal trade to Denver. But Melo wants out and Odom is playing at an all time high. Odom has 11 years of inconsistent play, but 29 games of consistent play this year. If I had a chance to snag Melo for Odom, this is your window of opportunity right now. If you look at the big picture, it's not that ridiculous. Especially when Odom comes back down to earth. Then you wouldn't be laughing but crying that you could have had Melo.  |
+1
I would trade Lamar and Ron Artest (and i (bleep) love them both) and first round picks, for Melo and Birdman.
The lakers shouldn't trade lamar and picks for Melo because they lose to much value. Odom is significant to the lakers because he is a 7 footer that can handle, pass, and rebound... and right now he is hitting the 3 pointer too. If Lamar ever gets traded for Melo, the Lakers have to trade for another quality big to come off the bench.
Think about it. basketball is a game of matchups. the lakers cant afford to lose a quality big man that comes off the bench to compete for the title this year. period. |

LOL - don't forget, Denver would have to like the deal, too. If their goal is to rebuild, then trading for LO as the centerpiece is not realistic. Neither is shunting him off to Memphis for OJ Mayo in a 3-way (from Memphis' perspective).
The Nuggets would likely start with Bynum, and then try to match from there.
If the Lakers wanted to take back salary, then Melo+Nene is likely attainable.

| you guys that dont want Melo are nuts, completely out of your minds! This guy is a legit MVP candidate, probably a top 3 scorer in todays game along side Kobe and Durant, he is physical, could post up and in the last 2 years he's been working on his defense. He could match up with Lebron head to head and hold his own with him on both ends of the floor, he is young and could keep us winning for years to come after Kobe hangs them up. Plus, Kobe likes him, they are friends... Imagine Melo working with Kobe on his footwork, post game and fundamentals, you have got to be kidding me!!! IF we could get him I would tell Denver, you could have anyone except Kobe and Pau, take your pick and make it happen! |

I agree. An opportunity like this doesn't come around often. You need to capitalize while you can. Melo is a legit player and will only get better working with Kobe. |

Lakers. Arthur is useless when you have Gasol, Randolph, and LO. |

Getting Melo would officially take the Heat out of any chance of winning the Title now or for the next few years.
Just think:
Lakers: Gasol, Kobe, Melo
or
Heats: Bosh, Wade, and James?
No chance for Heat now. |

Given how much Lamar makes...it'd be crazy to trade him.
Way, way, way, WAY too much bang for the buck. |

| Yeah I'd much rather unload Bynum, especially if you consider that Bynum only has what? 1 year left after this. And then you are going to have to give him ANOTHER extension, presumably for similar if not more money than he's making now. Unless he transforms into prime Shaq in the next 18 months that's not an impasse I would want to be at with Drew and his agent. |

Lets not act like Mayo value is real high right now
