If the rumored 2x seperate trades go down

OUT = Odom, Butler, George and Divac

IN = Peja and Boozer


Pretty good deals for them I think

If the Lakers could pull something like this, i would give them my respect. Come on, Boozer and Peja. They would compliment Kobe so well. More so, they could target someone like Ilgauskas or Swift in the summer and they would be set.

Ilguaskas
Boozer
Peja
Kobe
Jackson

That line up looks pretty good.

No offense, PD, but how would the Lakers go about doing something like that when Grant, Kobe, Boozer, and Peja take up nearly pt them over the cap alone? Not to mention all of the other guys currently under contract for next season already. I was thinking that the Lakers would only be having the MLE to use on FA's for the next three (actually more like 2 and a half) seasons (when B-Grant's contract expires). It seems Swift and Ilgauskas will be making considerably more than the MLE next season, but, of course, I could be wrong.

C.Ford is now reporting that Jazz GM K.O'Conner emphatically shot down this rumor and said "its ludicrous". Lakers GM M.Kupchak concurred, telling Ford he has not offered L.Odom in any deals.

Jack Haley's reporting that the Lakers and Jazz have agreed to a deal sending Divac, Butler, and George to the Jazz for Boozer. So who's getting the better deal?

On a Blazers note, it can't hurt to have the Lakers trying to adjust their rotation when we meet up on Wednesday.

I think it's actually a pretty darn good trade for Both teams.

Boozer with Odom and Bryant is far better than Butler with those 2.

Then Butler at the 3 wwith AK47 at the 4 is also pretty dang good. George and Divac are just fillers IMO.

Schilly

Would anyone be interested in trying to hit up Utah for harpring now?

As I recall, he played 2G for the Jazz in the past. He's got a nice shot. Could be a fit.

I'm with Schilly. I think that deal helps both teams, it will be interesting to see if this deal becomes final before our game vs the Lakers on Wed. night.

I like Harprings game, he can shoot and he plays smart. My only concern is his durability.
