LO for Sheed anyone?

I don't think that DET would like the trade alot but I think it has a chance...

Flip wants a KG-type player...LO has the talent and potential...

We sorely need an inside presence...

Salaries match...

Any takers?

How old is Rasheed?

Looking at strictly how thye play I would make that trade...Sheed can play on the inside and contest shots but is also a better outside shooter than Lamar.

I would do it in a heartbeat. It doesn't hurt the 07 plan at all, and Sheed gives everything Lamar does PLUS points and a little attitude. And he's an actual presence on the floor.

Too bad Joe Dumars would never bite on it.

Yep. I'd also trade him for Rashard or expiring K's.

I'm not happy with Lamar Odom's overall play, but you guys cannot be serious. Looking at stats alone, Odom averages nearly double the rebounds, more assists, equal points and is probably far more valuable to the lakers. While I would trade Odom for Rashard Lewis simply because his contract runs out and gives us the option to not re-sign him if we so choose, Wallace is both old and has no potential to improve. Also, his game is not that which is consistent with the triangle. He doesn't like to move around on the floor much and is not a good passer for a big man. I vote no.

Speaking of people who could be on the other end of an LO-trade though, Carlos Boozer just bought a $8.6 million house in L.A. with 13 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, racquetball court, tennis court, swimming pool, etc.

I'm generally one of those people who always thinks "man, so-and-so just bought a house here" rumors are silly - but considering all the rumors about Boozer and L.A. over the past handful of months, it's worth a mention

Sure. Might as well have someone that produces. And i dont care how old he is. He has a sick shot that will go to grave with him.

LO a KG player?

Come on.

If this is a fantasy basketball thread, I'd say no.

LO is a much better fantasy basketball player, and even a pretty consistent one, because he will give you rebounds and assists on almost every single night.

It would be good to note that the biggest knock on Rasheed has been that he's too aggressive. That would be a nice switch.

lakers need impact player or sound investments, not almost has beens (see Aaron McKies box scores)

We need to be courting KG and I hear Rashard Lewis in not happy in Seattle.

Problem with Sheed (and this is even considering if DET would do the deal, which they don't), is, that as long as he's "one of five guys" on the court...as long as you don't demand him to be the #2 option, he would be cool, but let the media and fanboys start with the "he needs to step up" and "he needs to help Kobe better" rhetoric, you would start to see more meltdowns from him.

Rasheed has a nice post game, a killer baseline fadeaway and his range is every bit as good as Diggler's. He would be an upgrade from Odom as long as he wasn't pressured to be "the man next to the man."

But here, he would be, so it wouldn't work, imo. Detroit is playing well, why would they deal Sheed? He's their primary offensive post player, and they need his weakside help D.

I love Sheed, but im split on this because of his age. Eh Yeah id do it, but then again pistons would not.

Rasheed actually has the same problem as Lamar - namely, he supposedly has the talent to be an All-Star or even a superstar, but he doesn't seem to want the responsibility of that. He just wants to be "one of the five guys" as someone mentioned above. Remember how he was supposed to be the superstar of that Blazers team in 2000, but for whatever reason he didn't seize that opportunity? Sounds like the same general problem Lamar has.

Besides, I really doubt Joe Dumars would trade away one of the biggest pieces to his championship nucleus. It's not going to happen.

Actually unlike Lamar, Sheed does have the talents of a superstar, possessing both the physical abilities and basketball skills.

In addition, Sheed, unlike Lamar, has absolutely dominated the opposition pretty consistently in both regular season and playoffs.

Yes, he's a bit old now, but come on; if Detroit trades for Lamar Odom, they go from a championship contender to a borderline team that will lose to any team with a good PF as Odom will have to guard that PF.
