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

<< < (2/15) > >>

Now_Im_Not_Banned:
Of course, you ask this question on a board like this, and most of the people will say yes. Go post this on Lakerground.net and EVERYONE will laugh in your face. You completely forgot the meaning of being a fan, trading away Odom and Brown would ruin the whole plan Jackson has for the next 3 years. And imagine if Kwame Brown really does become something, how stupid would you then feel after making this trade? To say it's not likely that he will develop is just ignorant. Just by watching last nights game (Kwame had a 19-7 game), I could see he definitely has it in him...Odom is supposed to be handling the ball which will put Kobe on the wing, the position he's desired so greatly throughout his career. You, as a Laker fan, should know how great this is. Unfortunately, you don't...You know, there was a thread on some other board asking if they'd trade only Lamar Odom alone for Artest, and most people said "HELL NO"...One day you'll hate how you've forever ruined your name as a Laker fan, by losing faith, having doubts, and making stupid comments...PeACe

Teddy Roosevelt:
I don't think so for the same reason as Now_Im_Blowed. And I beilive Brown will come into his own this season

Vegasmac25:
i say fuck Brown he a pussy and will never become that great player everyone thinks he will.Im just being honest about it and as for Odom i dont think he has the heart and desire to become a winner.If Odom ever decides to become more aggressive he would be awsome but he only does it like 50% of the time.I know Odom was playing out of his position last year but maybe this is the year he decides to become consitant.

Juronimo:
No, I wouldn't do it.

I might do a straight up trade Odom/Artest but I would definitely not do it if we had to give up Brown.

We are in very short supply of big men. Right now, if Kwame or Mihm get injured, we're screwed.

Also, coach Jackson's offense is predicated on Lamar Odom being the initiator. The triangle takes a lot of practice to master and a trade such as this at this time would be a bad idea. Also, you never know if Artest would go crazy again. There are other factors to take into account such as team chemistry. That's one of the reasons why we haven't seen Latrell Sprewell in a Laker unirorm, you don't know how that could affect team chemistry, attitude, etc. One of the reasons that the Spurs and Pistons have success is because of chemistry. We need to nurture that here and I have faith in the coaching staff that they can get that done.

Also, it's only the preseason so it's way too early to make any judgements yet.

h cottie is bac-tive?:
ron artest is one of the best defensive players in the NBA..his offensive ability is an added bonus

artest is known for his defense..he has the ability to shut a defender down by any means necessary

he mite b out of his fuckin mind sometimes but id love to have him on my side of the court

id only take odom/brown if i desperately needed a PF
