Will we be seeing a Laker TRIO instead of the duo of Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom?

Break-Out year for Kwame next year whilst Mihm gets traded. Kwame Brown has improved over the second half of the season or when Mihm got injured, either way he improved. The Lakers already look better without Mihm and should trade him. Kwame's numbers next year: 10-15 pts, 10-12 boards.

I've been hearing they might go after Kevin Garnett for Lamar Odom.....of course the Lakers would have to throw something else in.

NO!!!\n\nduring the off-season Lakers will definitely be ahead of the line. Already trade rumors and talks been initated and so far everyone know KG is good friends with Kobe Bryant.

I know people really want to see another 81 or more point game by Kobe, but that would be a one in a billion chance of happening, even if it is against Golden State (although of course I would like to see it).  I'm saying he'll score 41 points against them.

Its obviously Iverson. First off, the rest of the players have some sort of backup they can go to. LeBron has Larry Hughes to fall back on as well as Ilgauskas, Kobe has Lamar Odom, and Dwade has many players, Shaq, Williams, Posey. Iverson..who does he have? Eric Snow? not reliable. It is a close race between Iverson and LeBron tho, LeBron does help his team with his presence, averaging a lot of assists while maintaining 6+ assists per game. Iverson is very similiar, however he has no one to really help out.

It's too early to tell!!!   We'll have to see when Kobe gets back if Odom can continue producing like he has in these past 2 games. The Lakers will reach the playoffs though, i'll guarantee that much!!!!

Soon my friend ... soon. Let's hope not :)\nIt doesn't matter really, cuz the Suns will come back and win the series with or for Raja. Who's your daddy now Kobe?\n\nUPDATE: He's out for 1 game ...

I would like to see Kobe be more of a team  player like Nash who passes to his teammates.I know he is the best player on the Lakers,but win a few games more with Kobe as a team player.

Yes, I'm afraid they are.  Paul and O'Neal together on any team would be awesome.  Blazers will be fine eventually, gotta give it some time ... lots of time.

No. Ever heard of a guy named Lamar Odom? And another thing. I saw another post on this site that explained the "A-Rod affect", in which if the superstar is traded every other player on the team elevates his game.

i hope not...\n\nif that happens, he will surely take away some glory and fame away from ME...\n\nthere is just not enough room for another star in the KOBE SHO... I mean the LAKE SHOW... sorry... my bad...

Without a doubt!  Odom is having a great year and when Kobe get injured again for 10 plus games like he does every year Odom always goes off!  Joe Johnson is starting to shoot the lights out like Phoenix (who I still have no idea why they let him go) thought he would and well Chris Bosh is well Chris Bosh the who was my first pick and is doing great for an average player in this league right now and he is playing injured!  Take the trade!

The Jazz are below .500, but without Kobe, the Lakers are going to rely on guys like Odom and Smush Parker. So I believe the Lakers will lose both games vs. the Jazz.

I think that the key thing that the Lakers need to improve their team to Championship calibre are:\n\nFirstly, a player who is effective offensively on the interior. Kwame Brown is an absolute offensive basket case and even Phil Jackson has admitted that he has missed shots that were "impossible to miss". Chris Mihm has done a quietly effective job but it is not sufficient, and Lamar Odom hasn't been that great a post up player.\n\nSecondly, get at least one more good perimeter shooter. The Lakers need someone who can consistently hit the outside shot to make teams pay for double or triple teaming Kobe. Someone who can hit a three pointer consistenly would be a great bonus. Smush Parker, Sasha Vujacic and Devean George are just not good enough perimeter shooters.
