lakers need to trade odom!!!

Re: lakers need to trade odom!!!

not to mention replacing their frontcourt with grant/mihm/divac

and then NOT UTILIZING THEM AND INSTEAD USING BRIAN COOK

dont get me wrong, cook is a great player, but hes not suited to play CENTER OR THE TYPE OF PF THEY NEED

WHAT IS RUDY THINKING?!

and dont give me that "you think you know more than someone whose won 2 championships" because even if he does know more, it doesn't mean that what he's doing is right, you can easily argue either side of having cook play or having cook not play

rudy isn't the same type of coach he is towards older/smarter/wiser/veteran players as he is towards young/inexperienced/prone to mistakes players, but he has weird substitution patterns and seems to take out all the key players at sometimes the wrong times (like leading by 6 against the kings, why would you then suddenly take out your whole starting line up and put in the 2nd unit..its a 6 point lead, not a 60 point lead)

exactly!

Well Rudy has no choice right now. Like it or not, Vlade is still not ready to play more than 10 minutes in a game, Grant has already been placed on the injured list (knee problems), and Mihm cannot play all 48 minutes.

Re: lakers need to trade odom!!!

My brother is a big laker fan and we watch alot of games and have come to the agreement that a trade needs to be made to get a big man who muscle so Odom can play 3 and be a point foward. He has played his a** off and I like his game. Its just that he is matched up against more physical players every night and he cant handle that. He needs the ball in his hands more and playing the 3 would do that. Until then they have no choice but to play him there. Just my 2c

And what quality big man do you suggest? They don't just grow on trees.

Oh I hear you, they need one but I dont see how they get one until next year in free agency. They have a solid young nucleus, they just need to get bigger up front.

No doubt. Divac will help once he gets back into the flow, and then Mihm will be a very solid backup. We could always use an upgrade though.

Unfortunately about 20 other teams have the same problem.

Yes indeed, big men with talent are hard to find.
