Since Thorn is trying to move Carter and Kidd, but seems like he won't move either if he can't move them both.

Let's them trade for both guys, I know it sounds crazy but it's not the worst idea. We have to include Lamar, but isn't Vince Carter an upgrade to LO? Yes, he can walk at the end of the season which is good, if the chemistry doesn't work. It actually gives us a good chunck of money to go after a FA this summer. If we have success, then maybe we try to sign him and start a championship run. BTW, we would need to sign Pippen to fill up the roster, but he could speed up the learning curve for the new players in the Tri.

Here's my successful ESPN trade scenrio:

New Lakers Roster
Kidd/Smush/Sacha
Bryant/Evans/
VC/Walton/Pippen
Turiaf/Vlad/
Moore/Bynum

I would rather have Lamar than VC. No thanks.

I would love to but Turiaf as our starting pf scares me. I dont think he is ready yet. And Bynum would start over Moore.

[You're wrong --it is the worst idea. We'd have a terribel, terrible front court, and if Carter left at the end of the year, we'd have no extra cap room.

It is a radical and unrealistic idea, but on paper it sounds nice in a way. You have the heart of the Nets franchise in VC and Kidd, with Kobe, and you still keep Bynum. You can't make a deal without and extension, and does anyone know if they would be able to talk about that before a deal is done? You'd have to give up Smush and Walton to get a solid PF/C, both guys get demoted and have value even as upcoming free agents. Too many players moving, and Vince isn't much of a fit, but it does sound exciting.
