i really dont want the kings to rebuild, so the lakers really made me feel like gabage with that trade made for gasol, so check this out unlikely but it would be something http://nba.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=4459183

why for sac, well we stay in competition with those lakers, i feel like we coul do some damage with pg bibby/ udrid/douby
sg martin/ rush/ dahntay
sf odom/ garcia
pf oneal/rahim/fa sign
c miller/williams

why for ind, they get quality young players plus veterans

whyfor lal: not sure if lamar will fit with gasol, and andrew, ron will certainly complement them on d., he would def. put them over the top. thoughts??

I know the Pacers are wallowing, but seriously have to wonder if the trade even helps them; they give up a star for a bunch of role players, and two of them (Thomas and Radmanovic) have ridiculously long term contracts, much like Dunleavy and Murphy. If the trade happens, the Pacers will be saddled with a bunch of long term contracts and little salary cap relief, if any. Would probably make them worse. As for us, Jermaine O'Neal gives us a legitimate big, but something (perhaps that little voice in my head) prefers Nene. If O'Neal has injury problems like Hilario, at least Nene is considerably younger.

The Lakers just made a trade, and by all accounts probably wouldn't make another. They probably want to see how their lineup looks like on the court before making any conclusions, but with Artest's ever lowering value and with Mikki not really being in trade talks whatsoever, I can't really see this deal going down. I'm not sure how Odom's personal insecurities and disappearing acts will play into our hands, as well. Probably a trade just not worth making.
