To the author of this thread davidse, during the summer of 2005 a thread like this came up on LG to trade Odom for Kirilenko & the majority of the of the posters were all for it then. I WAS AGAINST IT THEN & IM AGAINST IT NOW!

I APPLAUD THIS FORUM FOR REACTING THE WAY IT HAS IN RESPONSE TO THE TITLE!

That gave me much more respect for the members of this community. I was afraid that if one idiot posts something as dumb as this topic, others would somehow agree. It's about time Lamar Odom gets the love he deserves for people to say "Lamar is a laker for life!" Thanks guys for making this win even sweeter. When Lamar comes back, let's make a serious run. Let's go all the way! DO IT MITCH

IMHO the Lakers wouldn't, and shouldn't even consider Odom for AK. I doubt they'd even trade Walton for AK - even if the salaries match. At this point, the way this team is gelling, I would be VERY surprised to see us make any kind of trade. Practically every guy in the playing rotation has taken a step or two forward these last ten games or so. Even Vujacic. IMO, the ONLY position we would really consider adding a player would be PG - and even then, only for guys like Dre Miller or Kidd (who makes too much to make it work). Actually, at 14 mil per, AK47 makes too much. Overpaid IMHO. So unles a J.O., or Dre Miller drops in our laps (ain't gonna likely happen), we are looking at our club, and that's not such a damm bad thing people.

I'm pumped about this group right now. And not just because of tonight's big win. We are growing some serious cajones as a team.

^^^^ A philosophical question...does it make you any less of a 10 year old by lowering yourself to the same level and degrading them by calling them immature 10 year olds?

There is a lot of kettle on this site and a lot of black....we're all in the same kitchen regardless.

It just does not feel right for the Lakers to trade a guy who up until he got injured was having a career year, fit perfectly into the offense, etc....for a guy that is having one of the worst years of his career.

17.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 4.9 APG

That's like saying we should have traded Kobe after we started 3-0 without him and Kwame.

I can't wait for Odom and Kwame to get back.

i stopped reading after "serious odom trade discussion".

you can't put the words "serious" and "odom trade discussion" in one sentence. that's like "lethargic" and "ronny turiaf" or "energetic" and "elden campbell".

And why would we trade a blossoming LO for a struggling AK-47?

And you know what? davidse, my apologies dude really. As soon as I read the tittle of thread I seen (bleep) red...

I was wrong. Nobody should be afraid to start a discussion in here.

Laker fans, a word...

As the Lakers start there decent into the land of the elite we must all realize that we are family. Some of us just have a different way of going about appreciating our great franchise...

With that said davidse, I will try to understand what made you come to this, and post such a notion. Who knows, maybe you really do think that this would be a good idea...

However,hostility was uncalled for, and no matter how much the idea to me just sucks to high heaven there was no need to get upset...

davidse, again my apologies...
