IMHO, the Lakers have been refusing to trade Odom because they haven't seen a better second-banana player in the roster to make him expendable.
And i agree the almost certain fate of the Lakers this year is a first-and-out.
BUT if Bynum pans out (wich is a definite possibility) this year, then Odom is gone next summer.

West was motivated by a relentless drive to succeed. Years after a game in which he hit 16 of 17 shots from the field, sank all 12 free throw attempts, and notched 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 blocked shots, West told the National Sports Daily, "Defensively, from a team standpoint, I didn't feel I played very well. Very rarely was I satisfied with how I played." This obsessive quest for perfection was a constant during West's playing years, and it continued in his later roles as coach and general manager of the Lakers and, currently, as president of basketball operations for the Memphis Grizzlies.
