If you were the Lakers would you trade Odom for Artest?

[TheEnemy]

Would you take the risk? Why or why not? Both seem to have mental problems. Odom is feebleminded and Artest is eccentric. Artest is a flight risk and unstable but Odom is also inconsistent. My question is do you gamble and go for greatness with Artest and possibly fail miserably or stew in mediocracy with Odom and hope he shows up every day?

Thanks for replying

Artest is a social retard. The only reason I would even consider it is because Artest's contract is much more palatable. The major fear is that he has our team by the testes the next time he bails (remember going 2-19 at the end of last season and now imagine our team w/o Artest and minus Butler from 2005).

Tough call, but Phil's the one making it (hypothetically, o'course). His vast basketball expertise is what counts, not my own.

If any coach can handle Artest, PJ can. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I hope not, I don't want Odom in Indy.

Wasn't the one we had last year with Rudy 3 good enough?

 

[VF21]

Well... but what have you done for me lately?



I just think the potential for HUGE, space time continuum altering disaster would be too good to miss. Kobe's ego, PJ's Zen Master techniques and Ron Artest with a short fuse?

Dude, I'd even tune in and watch Laker games just for the chance of being able to say I saw it live.
