So here are some trade ideas I came up with. Both are between Memphis and Los Angeles. I'm gonna post this on both forums so we get opinions from both sides of the fence.Here they are:

Trade A: Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, and Javaris Critt for Pau Gasol

Trade B: Lamar Odom, and Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol Darco Milicic, and Brian Cardinal
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/feature...3~13&te=&cash=

So the idea in both trades is the Lakers get a PF that can handle being a #2 option while Memphis clears a lot of cap space to start fresh right before a big FA offseason. Also, Lamar Odom could flourish in a system that doesn't have Kobe in it. He has always been good when he knew Kobe wouldnt be playing for whatever reason. On a side note, I think it would be funny(in a dark, horrible way) for the Lakers to trade one draft bust for another draft bust(i know he has been playing better) as proposed in trade B.

Thoughts?

i say Trade B would be great, but really just cuz the Lakers value Lamar Odom and consider him the "2nd best" player on the team doesnt mean other teams feel the same way about him ....
in short...he sucks, and i doubt the Grizzlies would do the trade unless the Lakers were to throw in a 3rd player or a pick or something

imo none of them make enough sense for memphis. why would they get rid of their star player with little pieces for a better team? they won't even clear all that cap space next year, since lamar has 2 years left on his contract. a 19th pick in javaris is not enough young talent for them imo, we'd have to throw in a pick.

would never happen, unless isiah were GM.

How does trading picks work? Is there a certain amount of monetary value for each pick? Anybody...

Trade B, but I doubt Memphis pulls the trigger on that kind of deal. Trade A doesn't make sense for Memphis since they have three point guards, adding Crit is unlikely.
