There really wouldn't be a reason to bring back Ariza and Odom. It's going to be one or the other.
No joke...we need to trade Odom and Walton to the Cavs for Szczerbiak and Varejao.
In a fantasy world, Kobe would agree to take $15M per season, Odom would take $10M per year, and Ariza would get a pay upgrade of about $2M per year.
That isn't going to happen, so either Odom or Ariza will be gone.

only problem is the length of luke's contract. Did mitch figure phil was going to coach the lakers til 2013? i do agree walton is useless to the other 29 NBA teams but he has his role with the lakers. he's doing what is expected of him IMO. He's somewhat overpaid yet you're not gonna find someone with his knowledge and experience of the triangle offense. so I dont mind him getting 4~5 million.
^ Right, the length is my issue, though $5M per is a little ridiculous too. This is the only team in the league where he really deserves anywhere near that, and certainly not for 6 freaking years. Crazy.
That would put our salary figure for the year at about $86M. I'd say that's a good price to pay for a team that good. If Kobe opted out and took that 5yr/$100M salary, we'd be at $83M.

i'm praying that we could trade sasha+first rounder for an expiring next year and overpay for 2010-2011, but retain both LO and trevor. if we had to, i wouldn't mind trading bynum for a decent banger at 5 + a 1st rounder.
i'm still really sketchy about bynum, since he still hasn't proven that 1) he can play well together with pau gasol 2) stay healthy and play well for a full season 3) that he is consistent and has the right mindset.
imagine where the lakers would be right now if they hadn't had LO...
