Would you make that trade? (Artest vs Odom/Brown)

My point is simply that Parker+ARTEST+Bryant+PF+Mihm > Parker+ODOM+Bryant+BROWN+Mihm
And, like i said in the first post (but nobody cared): "Obviously you had to acquire another PF."
So i'd rather trade to get another PF having Artest as my starting SG/SF than going with this roster.
Basically i'm saying Artest > Odom and that i'd rather trade to get a better PF than risking with Brown (considering we have no backups PF to help him if he'll fail).
You're making it like i killed your dog.

Your point sucks. Artest has met his potential, he is currently playing the best basketball he possibly can after taking some time to develop. Now we have 2 players. One is currently in the developing stage (which Artest went through) and one has played on an all-star level in the past, but needs to learn how to utilize his skill to become a top 10 player in the NBA. Now imagine how dumb you'd feel if both Odom and Kwame developed into superstars and you traded them for Artest, but Artest is retiring the next year to make a country CD, while Odom and Kwame are on top of the league. That's why people don't make trades like these, because the possibilities can leave you with the label "worst GM ever"...You say that a Smush, Kobe, Artest, power forward acquisation, & Mihm line-up would be better than a Smush, Kobe, Odom, Kwame, & Mihm line-up, yet you have no idea how a system like that would work out...Who would be the initiator? Who is skilled enough to keep Kobe on the wing? Where will we find a power forward? Without Kwame, our power forward is Cook. Without Lamar, the plan to run the triangle is demolished...You have no clue what you're saying, give up the "Laker fan" title.

I highly doubt Odom or Brown will be one day better than Artest . Plus there are differences between being a fan and being very subjective

Just because you highly doubt that doesn't mean it's true. I mean, it wouldn't take much to surpass Ron Artest's level. The combination of Kwame + Odom will currently put up better numbers than Ron Artest by far. Imagine if they actually reached full potential...

lol man the only point you have is to make a 2 players vs 1 combination?
Just combine Artest with a productive PF and good night again.

Like a productive PF is easy to acquire? We have one now, why trade that away along with an all-star caliber player for one guy who can destroy your team in less than a second.
