Maybe Odom is not untouchable??

[KingKobeDubbz]

If the Lakers are really trying to give up Lamar for Channing Frye all in all it means we gave up Shaquille O'Neal for a stupid ass rookie from Arizona?????I mean giving up Shaq for Lamar hurts itself already but we could live with it knowing that he complements Kobe . Channing Frye I promise you guys he is just a younger Kwame with more jumper that's it. Bynum looks way more better than Frye to me. Now if you wanna say Frye and Jalen Rose for Lamar , that sounds more reasonable.

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

I don't know why Odom should be considered on the table for a trade. He averages nearly a double double. You've seen what happens when he doesn't play. Unless you can get someone that can rebound and score more, which is highly unlikely.

[eldrunko714]

[wolfpaclaker]

Larry Brown said that to among other things - he wanted a SF that can play guard and a SF that can slide to PF.

Larry Brown also has called LO one of the best players in the NBA. He also coached him in the Olympics and LOVES that kind of unselfish mentality.

With Odom he gets two needs filled with one player

I don't see anyone on that Knick roster Larry would keep instead of having Odom.

So IMO this one's BS ......

[KA_2]

Christ, I hope that wasn't true. LO isn't a good fit in LA, but Frye doesn't really do anything much better than Odom does besides score (which is miniscule at best), while being an even softer defender and poorer rebounder.

the larger package would probably be something like this:

Odom, George, Medvedenko

FOR

Frye, Richardson OR Crawford, Taylor

AND

Draft Picks going both ways

[Luke]

If you see Hoopsype, the next article says the opposite : the Lakers are not offering Lamar...

[nextphenom23]

I feel that Kobe is in his prime and we need to go out there and get guys that can help him win now. But at the same time I feel like Frye and another player from NY could help us more than Odom can. Maybe not this year but next year. Frye and Bynum would be the next twin towers and you add that with Bryant, we're destined to win championships. And you talk about getting rid of Odom's contract and we could attempt to go after a SF and PG when the big contracts we get from NYK expires.

we must get rid of lamar.

[lakersfan4life69]

take frye for odom, get salary cap filler that can be dumped, and get way under the cap in a couple of years. sure, we'd be terrible, but i think we are right now. bynum/frye front line of the future. mark heisler said lamar odom is avergaing 10 points a game since the sacto game. that's pathetic. forget second option. we have no second option.

[dag32]

Eric has been pretty adamant that the Lakers won't trade Lamar.

Eric, do you think this typical NY reporting or could there be some truth to it?

damn. we should've traded odumb, i can't see him anymore as a laker. he sucks!
frye would fit excellent in triangle, but damn isiah rejected.

[lakersfan4life69]

[iml84myd8s]

Eventually, Odom will be traded because he’ll never flourish the way Phil Jackson is using him in the triangle offense. Not if, but once Odom is traded, Odom will return back to his “all star” status once he is put back into the post, as he was in Miami.

There is no doubt Odom will become an All Star on another team once he’s traded.

[lakersfan4life69]

I'm sure Odom will come back to torch us like Caron Butler/Jumaine Jone/Sucky Atkins/Eddie Jones have all done this year.

[Drifts]

[CrimsonLaker]

Good. I hope he comes back and torches us. It doesn't deter me. Still get rid of Lamar. If he can flourish somewhere else, good. But I think he WANTS to get traded. He plays well enough to be a great all around player stat wise and keeps his trade value high, but horrible enough to consistently make fans hate him and to negatively alter the course of a game. Its a delicate line to walk and I refuse to think he is doing it unintentional. He wants out, its obvious. Get him outta here!

[magic_bryant]

[Jacko]

I hope the rumor is true!!
so that mean Lakers are try to trade Odom,
the way we are playing right now, we definitely need to make a trade right!!
Because I just don't see a lot of potiental in Odom or Kwame!!
Try to get Frye that is not bad, but I don't think Isiah is dumb as Mitch, so of course Isiah won't make this trade!!

[magic_bryant]

Don't believe this crap. Isiah would LOVE to have Odom to get the ball to his "franchise player", Eddy Curry. Larry Brown would love to have Odom's unselfish "play the game the right way" attitude to maybe rub off on Marbury.

We offered up DG and scraps, Knicks said Odom, we said "Thanks, but no thanks." Don't believe what you hear from the NY Times.

[40ptmachine]

[angel]

It might not be true at all. I think the N.Y. Post reported it, so that makes the matter doubtful. The Philly paper says Odom is off the table.
