Lakers definitely don't need JO if it means trading Odom+Bynum. But it'd be nice to see him in a P&G uni...PeACe
JO for Bynum and Odom is better than Marion for Cook and Odom. Making a trade is better than making no trade because of the Kobe-situation. Those are my thoughts of it. A trade like this won't make the Lakers significantly better, though. Maybe even worse, depending on injuries.
Kobe wants a contending mentality, not a trigger-happy FO.
Jermaine's impact on a team>>>>>>>>Odom's and Bynum's impact on a team

Didn't he tell Marion and JO that he's cool with them joining the Lakers? There you have it. I'm sure Kobe ain't dumb enough to believe he can get them without trading Odom. So... Oct.1 is coming.. and it is coming soon.

What makes you think he can be a dominant big in the WEST?

As far as I'm concerned, he's currently on Odom's level, and his progress will probably be behind Odom's, considering he's a slow learner and it takes 2+ years to learn the triangle...PeACe

If he came to the Lakers for Odom + Bynum he'd be on the same team with THE best player in the game. They would automatically take pressure off each other. Kobe could just filter his man to the post and let JO get the block. And JO wouldn't have to worry about being having to get every rebound, block every shot, and score damn near every point.
