Billabong's trade. i think the Lakers would get Magloire and then would have pick of Paul or Derron Williams or Felton in that scenario. I think Bucks take Bogut, Hawks take Marvin Williams and not Paul like many think and then Portland takes Gerald Green. That would give us the pick of PGs and I would go with Paul.
C- Magloire
PF- FA
SF- Odom
PG- Paul
SG- Kobe
Then the Lakers could use their FA for PF or if Bender and Indy trade goes thru they might get help at No. 17.

All that to get the 4th?

Not worth it.

Call me crazy, but i HATE the idea of rolling the dice on a draft pick thats not a sure fire producer on the NBA level much like Lebron looked to do.

I still dont understand why the lakers are not going after a veteran PG or atleast someone who has a few years under their belts.

What happend with Knight from the Bobrats? Thought he was a FA or something, wouldnt it make sense to get someone like that instead of banking on some unproven kid to start for us???

Magloire would have to be involved for me to even consider the trade.

And as far as the Blazers option that someone mentioned, that won't happen. The Blazers like Green, but feel that he would still be left a couple picks later (5th), the only teams they would trade with would be the Hornets (ideal option for them, who have the 5th and 13th pick) or the Raptors (another more likely option, they have the 7th and 16th pick). If Green is gone, they could take Wright, who is having amazing workouts.

Caron Butler alone is not worth the #4 pick at draft time. Tho Caron Butler is a good player in 3 seasons he's settled in as a 15 ppg scorer. He himself was a #10 pick.

At draft time top 10 picks become over valued. Thus Caron and # 10 to move up to #4 sounds about right in the nba trade market.

As for Caron and 10 for 5 and 13 , I don't see that happening. You probably could get #13 for Caron.

Very high draft picks become gold at draft time.

I too would love that deal, but I just don't see it realistically happening. Giving up Caron and just our 2 early second round picks for Magloire and the #4? Caron and both our seconds for the #4!!!! We then keep our pick at #10

Lakers draft

#4- Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Gerald Green(1 of which is guaranteed to be on the board)

#10- Power Forward- Lakers can get a real nice Frontcort player to compliment Chris Mihm.

Lakers Lineup

PG- Chris Paul(I love this kid) or Deron Williams(perfect for the Triangle)
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Lamar Odom
PF- Fran Vasquez in a perfect world...Chris Taft realistically
C- Chris Mihm

Coach: Phil Jackson

That's a damn impressive starting 5 man4

Because Marvin and Green(especially) have a much bigger upside right now than Caron does.

My new proposal

Trade 1: Lakers and Hornets

Lakers Trade: Caron Butler

Hornets Trade #4 pick

Trade 2: Lakers and Pacers

Lakers Trade: Brian Cook and Slava Medvedenko

Pacers Trade: Johnathan Bender and #17 pick

Trade 3 Lakers and Hawks

Lakers trade #35 and #37
Atlanta trades: #31 pick in the draft

Draft Day

#4- Gerald Green
#10- Andrew Bynum
#17- Chris Taft
#31- Tiago Splitter- Since he has some major contract buyout issues(see Marcej Lampe) he would not have a guaranteed contract in the second round. The Lakers should gamble on him, and hope they can work out the buyout issues.
