 On espn pod cast with Ryan R. they were talking bout ways to improve the Lakers and i one idea that i thought was pretty intreaging was a trade that surrounded Lakers sending Bynum, Odom, and Blake for Clevelands Varejao, both draft picks and Davis.  I was like i never heard of a trade that had so many mixed fillings 

Positives was that while lakers where set for the future and when get great perimeter play and speed if they was to get kyrie and possible Williams or Kanter. and the Cavs are going to be set on the front court and they got rid of Davis contract

Negatives Lakers gave so much size that gave them the advantage so many years and they picked up Davis contrac plus they give Odom who is a fan favorit away and an advantage he had against most bigs. and the Cavaliers gave their future away. Even though it wouldnt be know if the picks they had would even give them a part of what bynum and odom will give them.

What do you guys think is this a fair trade. Maybe Cavs give them one of the picks and not both. i didnt check if this trade works caps wise but i think its pretty close. Who do you guys think says no first.

 Cavs are looking to build for the future, Odom and Blake don’t help them there and Bynums knee is too much of a gamble to give up both picks for.

Intriguing, but there is just too many holes for both sides to consitute pulling the trigger from either angle. I’m sure the Lakers would love to get a guy like Kyrie, but trading away size and experience isn’t going to happen in the summer preceding Kobe’s ending chamipionship grasps. I give him 3 years to get another as the primary option, depending on the Lakers’ retooling. Kyrie will just be coming into his own then, so the timing is off and though interesting doesn’t make sense for them, nor for the Cavs and their rebuilding process.

Very risky coming from a Lakers fan. Our front court would then be Gasol, Varejao, Caracter, and whoever we draft or pick up via free agency.

I have a feeling that we will just wait for Bynum’s contract to expire.
