--- Quote from: 7 on February 17, 2006, 04:58:59 AM ---Lakers should trade Odom and Brown for Penny's contract, Frye and a pick. Thus they'd lose 2 overpaid players who don't flourish, gain mad cap space after Penny is gone in the summer, and can build their future on Frye, the early pick, Bynum and a big free agent.

Obviously they should. If that's the scenario, then hell yeah i'm down with it. Frye has mad potential (not like Brown..), and with Penny's money we could buy a real superstar instead of Odom.
Parker
Bryant
SUPERSTAR
Frye
Bynum
Looks good.

Nope. A trade like that will kill us for this year AND next year. Frye is good, but losing Kwame leaves only Chris Mihm for front-court toughness (rebounding, blocking, defense, etc.). Losing Odom would also be a lot bigger than you guys actually think. Odom means SOOO much to this team. He's our number 1 rebounder, passer, facilitator, good defender, great offense when he tries...I wouldn't trade Odom AND Kwame for Frye and Penny's expiring contract. Think about it a little harder, it wont work good...Just wait. When Mihm comes back Lakers will flourish. Once he gets back they will win 15 out of their next 20 games. WATCH...I mean, I was at the Atlanta game, I was VERY disppointed, 10X more than anyone on this board...But patience it virtue with the triangle, especially with all the current injuries...PeACe

Why not?
Frye >>> K.Brown
? could potentially be > Odom
Where "?" means the player we will acquire in the summer to replace Penny.

You don't understand. Frye won't be ready to defend the elite power forwards of the west until 2-3 years. Kwame is at least capable of contributing on both ends, especially the defensive end where he's mostly needed. Then you got Odom. Odom is just way better than Frye currently and will be contributing WAY more to the Lakers in the next 2 years. After that is the '07/'08 plan...We don't need no Frye, Bosh is ours. We don't wanna lose Odom, our facilitator, our double-double guy AND Kwame, our down-low defensive presence, our secondary rebounder just for Frye and an expiring contract...I rather have traded Odom straight up for Artest and kept Kwame...It won't work out to the Lakers benefit, trust me...PeACe

After Penny's contract exipires you could buy a better defender than Kwame, man.

That's the Lakers' luck this season..Man, they can be 35-15 with the way they play sometimes, but they just gave away so many games which were in their hands. Their record DOES NOT show for their skill...PeACe

"luck". ::)
id imagine in your opinion their 26 wins are a result of skill....and the 26 losses are a result of bad luck LOL. them playing like shit at the end of the game....isnt "luck". If they were winning by 2 points with 1 second left...and the other team hits a prayer shot from past half court....THATS bad luck.

Injuries is not luck? Slava Medvednko, one of our few bigs and offensive-minded players=out for the season...Laron Profit, our most reliable back-up for Kobe=Out for the season...Aaron McKie, our original starting point guard=Yet to start a game because of injuries...Luke Walton=Out for the first month of the season...Lamar Odom=Missed games and is playing hurt...Ronny Turiaf=open heart surgey, JUST returned...Chris Mihm=Been out the past few weeks...Trust me, Lakers will have their shit together come playoff time...PeACe
