what we are hearing, and what we should do

all over the net it is reported we are trying for KG,J'ONEAL,ARTEST,GASOL,AND J.KIDD

This what we can try realisticially
this offseason

LAKERS TRADE: Andrew Bynum, Kwame ''the bust'' Brown, 19th pick 2007 and 09' first rounder
LAKERS RECIEVE: Pau Gasol

Then
LAKERS TRADE: Sign and trade Luke Walton, Vlad Radmanovic, 08' 2nd rounder
LAKERS RECIEVE: Ron Artest
And one more
LAKERS TRADE: Brian Cook and Sahsa Vujacic
LAKERS RECIEVE : Tyrone Lue

Sign sf/pf Matt Barnes MLE
Sign pf/c Melvin Ely LLE

2007 Draft
2nd rd pick pg Aaron Brooks Oregon
2nd rd pick pg/sg Dominic James Marqutte

Do not resign Smush Parker and Chris ''another bust'' Mihm

2007-2008 line up bench
PG-Jordan Farmar PG- Tyrone Lue, Aaron Brooks
SG-Kobe Bryant SG-Maurice Evans, Dominic James
SF-Ron Artest SF- Matt Barnes
PF-Lamar Odom PF-Rony Turiaf
C-Pau Gasol C- Melvin Ely

we don´t have LLE

we would overpay for Gasol
Sacramento would not do that deal
GS said they want Barnes back and he wants back as well


in other words, this is not very realistic.

How would we overpay for Gasol by sending 2 busts at C, Barnes is still possible,As for Artest we can send a package around Luke might get it done Sacto is desparate to get rid of him,And we are desparate for star quality players

correct me if im wrong..but i was under the impression that if you sign and trade someone, you can't package him with anyone else..anyone?

So, Bynum is a bust now? Actually, he is just 19 and will likely become a solid player, perhaps not a superstar, but solid.

Bynum is overhyped he doesnt play with the intensity and aggresion that it requires for a player to turn out great he hes only 19 but those qualities are natural so we sh00d trade him n0w s0 we can get s0me allstar value in return we are the lakers since when d0 we wait 4 years for a project shouldnt ever be our way win n0w and win t0mm0row

However the Lakers end up going trade wise, they shouldn't trade looking only to the now. You want to win now, but you don't want to sacrifice the future to do so. That's the great thing about the Lakers' management. We've only missed the playoff twice in how long? It does suck for Kobe that he's not able to win any championships, but they shouldn't get all crazy. Look where the great Celtics franchise is at right now. Tanking games to win the draft. The Lakers should only trade off Bynum and Farmar if they can get something of great value in return.

First of all, we'd still suck at PG. Second of all, how in the world does Barnes get the MLE and Ely only the LLE??? I'd have thought the reverse. Third, why would any of these teams take our JUNK for good players??? Fourth, do the salaries match in the Gasol trade???

agree, these trades won't happen. Right now Mitch is stuck with maybe finding one or two waiver wire quality players with hope they will contribute. He still can't find a point guard, much less veteran support players.
