Sorry for quoting myself SKKG, but one of the reasons why Ron Artest wouldnt fit in the triangle is because he dosent have a passing IQ. Just look at the way he plays. He dosent make his teamates better. However, he could play defense though. We cant have Kobe run the triangle, he will get tired too quick and will turnaround the ball to much.Total_Package wrote:SKKG wrote:FabFourLakers wrote:why are we talking about trading ppl in this thread?

You gotta be able to identify the reason we're winning. And Kwame, while he has been a contributor, has not been the main reason. And believe it or not, we have a problem of too many bigs right now. We have to trade one of them for a high-caliber SF eventually, and Artest is as good as any.
Although Artest is better then Odom by miles, Odom fits in much better with the triangle offense. If anything, we should be looking for a point guard or powerfoward that can play great defense. Who knows, that might be Kwame by 2007. Isnt Chauncy Billups a FA in 2007? I believe Ben Wallace is one aswell

Look what happened that "half-big" played the 4 full time instead of half time.
Its like Dr. Buss is guarding the Celtic rim this second half. Nothings dropping

I would think that seeing Melvin Ely & Mike Sweetney dominating us inside when Kwame was out would make you realize his value...
I'm really starting to question your bball iq skkg

wtf? You don't know what you're talking about. We already have too many SF's. With the way Lamar is playing lately you wanna trade him? ofmg. Lamar just tonight is playing better than Artest has in his whole career. He's only taken 6 shots but he's made 5 of them.
Go back and read this entire thread. It's proven after this game that Odom is a PF. Trade Kwame, have Artest lock down Miller, and we might have had a blowout in the first quarter.

My IQ is fine. Instead I would not hesitate to question all of you people's IQ, because quite frankly, none of you have been able to show any evidence(other than Ely, which I have refuted easily) as to why Odom is a SF, while the evidence for Odom as PF keeps mounting up.

He doesn't have any... and on that topic I can't believe some of the shiz he says.

You're right... Odom does a fine job guarding low post players.
