Lakers trade Odom to Dallas (ploy for Dwight?)

Could be part of the plan to add Dwight using the TPE.

I am so confused on why Dwight is requesting a trade. Is it because everyone else is doing it?

EDIT: Although I thought I remember that you can't combine players + the exception in a trade so I am not sure how this will work out.

Any exception created by dealing Odom isn't big enough to take in Turkoglu. I'm not seeing LA's endgame here, nor why Dallas would help.

Have had about 50 questions on this already -- NO, you canNOT combine Vujacic trade exception with this one.

They do have Gasol now to put in the package for Howard, but they may have to find a third team

Odom shouldn't take things so personal since it's a business after all. Either way, though, the Lakers need some changes after the collapse last season. Obviously they'll be getting an all NBA team player due to the league having no balance. So they'll stock up on late first round picks and present them for a future hall of famer and try to keep a straight face when the lopsided deal is accepted.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP)—The Lakers traded forward Lamar Odom and a second-round draft pick to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night for a first-round pick and an $8.9 million trade exception, capping Los Angeles’stunning 72-hour breakup with last season’s Sixth Man of the Year.

The Lakers and Mavericks reached a swift deal after Odom learned Thursday that Los Angeles was attempting to trade him in a megadeal for New Orleans superstar Chris Paul.

After the NBA blocked that trade, Odom declined to report to the Lakers’opening day of training camp on Friday. Odom then requested a trade in a meeting with general manager Mitch Kupchak, and the Lakers improbably swung a deal with the rival Mavericks, who swept Los Angeles out of the second round of last season’s playoffs.

Interesting, the Lake Show picked up a 1st round pick in this deal as well. Hmmmm....

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
