W/ Lakers going to deal players, should Jazz make a move on any of them?

I don't understand the Shannon Brown love. I get that he's a great athlete, but he's a career 42% shooter (34% from 3) and doesn't really have great rebound or assist numbers. Maybe he's a good defender? I don't know, I don't really watch a lot of Laker games. I just think we need to add shooters and he dosen't really qualify as a great or even very good shooter. He seems to be a taller version of Ronnie Price.
 
I think that they all make too much money. The only piece i'd really be interested in, would probably be Odom. He still has some game to bring. BUt I wouldnt trade for any Lakers player. Plus, if Utah wants Shannon Brown so bad just offer him a contract this off season.
 
Lakers won't do much. They just need to upgrade their PG situation and add another decent bench guy and they will be right at the top. They'd be stupid to just give away Bynum or Gasol and assume it's addition by subtraction.

By "won't do much", you mean "Other than go hard after Dwight Howard, the Lakers won't do much", right?

You really think ORL will give up Howard for Bynum? Eh.

I didn't say "get", I said "go hard after". Orlando will be in the same spot the Jazz and Nuggets were in and they will have three options: Bynum and something from the Lakers, Lopez and something from the Nets, and getting nothing as he goes elsewhere. They will also likely have offers of Bosh or Bozzer for him, but I think the Lakers and Nets will be the deals that get considered.

I don't see them trading Howard inside the same conference(just like the Jazz & Nuggets) so the Nets are out.

Lakers would have to cough up more than just Bynum for Howard.
Maybe something along the lines of this: https://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6f4l6rb

I don't think the Lakers would bite on that.
 
If we received the #1 pick, I could see trading it and memo for Odom and Shannon Brown! Then the lakers could draft Kyrie Irving to help thier pg situation and also have money off the books for the next year with memo's contract to look to sign a free agent! While we would have our sf and back up sg positions secure. The only problem I have with this is it helps the Lakers stay relevant and become younger, and I hate the Lakers!
 
We don't want any player from the Lakers our team has a brighter future today than they do.

If Magic trade Dwight it better be for something better than the Lakers have or they are a horrible franchise.
 
What bad contracts do the Lakers have to absorb in order to get Howard? No way they take Arenas. Maybe they'd take the hit on Turkoglu and send Ron out. But I can't see Orlando biting on Bynum and Artest even if Bynum signs an extension. If I was Smith, I'd just cross my fingers that Arenas can get back to 80% of his former self. His chips are already in the middle, anyway. But I wouldn't want to be Otis Smith right now.
