Will we get one of the big three who can't seem to stay out of Laker trade rumor disussions? If so, who do you think we get?
-
Doubt it. If we do get one of them J.O. is the most realistic. He's in the Eastern Conference, he really wants to leave that team, and he's made mention to people around the NBA that he wants to go to the Lakers or the Knicks (and trading a superstar within the conference is rare).

Yeah I tthink we have more chances to have Jermaine than the two others.. unfortunately he would have the smallest impact between these 3... Garnett>> Gasol>> Oneal

Only reason Kobe would leave is because the front office refuses to get him some REAL help (no Radmanovic and Evans aren't the answers). And quite frankly, at this point, I wouldn't blame him.

i can see the lakers doing something stupid and picking up rashard lewis

the garnett thing will never happen because of Kevin Mchale

LMAO. JO is better than Gasol no doubt and he is pretty much even with Garnett

Nah, Garnett is head and shoulders better than Jermaine.

Garnett is easily the better of the 3.
If I had to choose between J.O. and Gasol, I'm going with Gasol. J.O. is obviously the better defender and shot blocker, but his fg% is disgusting for a big man. Plus he's getting too injury prone.

yep. and aside from JO's low %'s, his passing skills are pretty terrible. it would take a while for him to adapt to the triangle.

Jermaine O'Neal on the Move? (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=2884663&name=stein_marc)

I've heard nothing in the last month to sway me from the belief that Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal is the most realistic trade target for L.A. -- much more realistic than Jason Kidd or Kevin Garnett -- no matter who in the Lakers' front office is doing the chasing.
If O'Neal leaves Indy, everyone knows Kobe's Lakers and Isiah Thomas' Knicks are the teams he'd love to join.
Kobe Bryant remains equally geeked about hooking up with a younger O'Neal, who has been his close friend since they were drafted into the league together in 1996.
The Pacers, meanwhile, are increasingly open to moving O'Neal, according to NBA front-office sources.
What kind of package can the Lakers assemble? Lamar Odom (shoulder) and Kwame Brown (ankle) might be coming off surgeries when next season begins, but the notion that neither would remain tradeable as a result is a bit flawed.
Odom is still marketable because of his talent and versatility. As you'll recall, he also played pretty gamely through the shoulder problems late in the season and during the Phoenix series after putting off surgery to help his team. Barring unexpected problems in his recovery, why wouldn't he still be a valued commodity?
As for Brown, since his expiring contract ($9.1 million next season) was the attraction to other teams all along, he could easily still be thrown into a deal. Other potential trade assets include young center Andrew Bynum -- who was deemed off-limits at midseason when the Lakers backed out of a potential Jason Kidd deal -- and L.A.'s decent first-round pick (No. 19) in the June draft.
The Pacers, at present, have no first-round pick next month.

My guess is JO.

I really hope we dont trade Jermaine but he deserves better. Imagine Kobe and Jermaine on the same team :o :o :o holy shit that would be BY FAR the best duo in the league.

If I was you, I would GLADLY accept Kwame and Odom for JO. It would be better for Indiana.

You can't resist. Sooner or later everyone ends up rooting for the Lakers. In this life or the next.
