Would You Trade Odom for Frye?

Of course, more players, would have to be involved...but would you do it?

I know I would.....

a combo of Bynum + Frye with Turiaf should be really good in the future!

I'd trade Lamar and Slava for jalen, frye, and a 1st rd pick not lottery protectd.

Just Frye? HECK NO. We need a good tri-initiator to keep Kobe free to score.

If you had thrown in Jamal Crawford before he got traded, or Jalen Rose as part of it now, HECK YES, I'd consider it.

Frye + Nate Robinson and it's at least tempting.

Still not sure I'd pull the trigger though.

My only criticism with Odom is he takes a lot of 3 point shots, but he can over power anyone on the paint, pretty good on defense as well. So to me, Odom should stay, we really don't need Frye, what we need is a Big Man better than Kwame and also a strong point guard better than Smush parker.

No, no, no and no.

Frye's ceiling isn't as high as the level that Odom's is at RIGHT NOW.

Can't create for himself or others. Despite 6' 11" big, doesn't know how to board. Soft on defense. He has one thing going for him, and that is his elbow jumper and extended wing jumper.

I want nothing to do with any of this years Knicks players. Maybe David Lee, but that is it. To be honest I'm not a big fan of Robinson.

Hell no!

Frye is a bigger Brian Cook.

For one Frye is a rookie, and we know how Phil feels about rookies, and two he would have a little more than a third of a season to LEARN THE TRIANGLE!!!!!!

Again...hell no

but.. I would trade slava, and the miami pick for him.

If it were Jalen, Frye, and Nate, HELL YEAH...we would have a ridiculous amount of cap space in 07. We would have to get Jalen though to mitigate the loss of Odom as an initiator.

Sorry to hijack the thread but an even better trade would be with Chicago for Tim Thomas's expiring contract, Hinrich or Gordon, and Deng.

Im not a fan of Nate Robinson. Athletic for a small guy but aint really good at anything.

frye, lee, malik rose and crawford for odom, slava and mckie, id do.

crawford/smush/sasha
kobe/crawford/sasha/wafer
george/kobe/lee/luke/green
frye/turiaf/rose
mihm/brown/bynum

small forwards can easily be replace. Our 07 or 08 plan will still be intact. In fact well have more cap space when malik rose's k expires. Theirs alot more options at the small forward position in 07 or 08.

We'd have a really goood cheap young front court for years to come.

No. This makes absolutely no sense at all! As much as you guys hate Odom, we win more with him than without him. Frye would be completely lost in our system and wouldn't contribute at all in the foreseeable future. Odom is a proven commodity who, although may not be living up to our lofty expectations, would certainly warrant an immediate impact player. Frye is going to be mediocre at best. Another example of a good college player (i.e. Van Horn) who will never be a stud in the NBA. If you want Frye so badly give 'em Kwame or Cook. Might be a lateral move but would certainly make a heck of a lot more sense than giving them Odom.

I'm totally bewildered at why we are even considering the Knicks as trade partners in the first place. If there's a GM in the NBA that is worse than Mitch it's Isaiah. So what's the point? Sometimes I wonder if some people here enjoy having players on our team that they can b!tch about. Frye and a handful of role players which would essentially turn us into the the Knicks West.

Would You Trade Odom for Frye?

NO and YES

NO, because Odom has more skills and experience than Frye. This team is already TOO young and Kobe is not getting any younger!

YES, because Phil would FINALLY move Frye into the post!!! If Phil would ever move Odom into the post, I would never think of trading Odom for Frye. I would never think of trading Odom for most of the players in the league, if Phil was using Odom in the post.

Odom is better than we've scene this year. Odom was an All Star in Miami and was one of the best players for the USA team during the Olympics. Phil is killing Odom's confidence by forcing him out of his natural offensive position! Odom needs his touches in the post!!!

No. I wouldn't, but we should've gotten Dwayne Wade in the Shaq trade. I know its a bit off topic, but whoever traded shaq without getting wade (mitch, cough...) is stupid.

On topic: Frye shows promise. But Lamar is a much better player, Lamar fits in our system well, and he is going to grow.

Fans have got to stop looking for the short term fix. Most people on this board are a bunch of little Isiahs looking for instant results. It doesn't work like that. It takes time, sometimes a season or more, for a group to gel. And for our core guys to be productive, they have to have some sense of stability.

I mean, we have a plan. The 2007 plan looks really solid. I thought everyone understood what the Lakers are trying to do, but now we want to make outrageous trades that could hinder the 2007 plan because of this season. I hate to break it to you, but we are doing, as a team, much better than anticipated.

I'd make the trade in faster than a New York minute.
