The Vlade and the Mihm trade were made to cut costs. The only question now is how much does Odom and Ariza want?

Odom and Ariza? Of course. Vlade and Mihm? Of course not.

Lakers expected to sell draft pick

The Press-Enterprise
Hoping to better position themselves financially to re-sign unrestricted free agents Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom, the Lakers have agreed to sell their first-round pick in tonight's NBA Draft to the New York Knicks.
In return for the 29th pick, the Lakers will receive New York's 2011 second-round draft pick and $3 million, according to multiple reports. A Lakers spokesman declined comment because the team will have to select a player for the Knicks before the deal can become official.
With $74 million already allocated to eight players next season and at least five others whom they intend to try to re-sign, the Lakers are searching for any means of decreasing next season's massive luxury-tax hit. The NBA's rookie pay scale mandates that the 29th pick would have made $830,000 next season and $893,000 in 2010-11, too much for a player unlikely to crack their rotation.
While the Lakers still hold the 42nd and 59th picks in the second round tonight, only first-round selections receive guaranteed contracts. Furthermore, there's a good chance that several of the international players they might have considered taking at No. 29 to stash away in Europe for a year or two might still be available at No. 42.
The trade is the latest in a series of cost-cutting moves designed to allow the Lakers to keep last year's team intact. They shed salary by dumping Vladimir Radmanovic and Chris Mihm in midseason trades and plan to limit their roster to the league-minimum 13 players next season.
