Trade Idea: Lakers + Jazz

Raja Bell + Jamaal Tinsley (after team option is picked up) for Steve Blake

Lakers get deeper with veteran solid backcourt back-ups that Kobe has expressed interest in before, two expiring contracts instead of two more years with Blake, and future cap room to re-sign Lamar Odom or whomever; Raja brings perimeter shooting and defense, and Jamaal brings playmaking. Both bring lockerroom leadership that left with Odom and Fisher.

Utah gets a quality back-up point guard and a solid shooter to address their perimeter shooting woes; Utah gets rid of Raja who no longer fits with team and does a good deed for Tinsley, who was a true professional this season and would probably get restless if he was reduced to 3rd stringer again.

It seems like a small trade that benefits the needs of both teams.

Interesting....I can't wait to see nash though.
