Yeah, i had envisioned bookend versatile Forwards of Odom and Rahard Lewis to help begin the return of the Purple n Gold to title contention. But that was with Bynum and if neccessary Kwame Brown in the middle. Not sure that shipping Odom and picks doesn't keep them in spin tires mode.
Hey Lakers, would Chris Mihm have been a big help this year and next.
As for next season, i don't think Mihm is effective after the surgeries but.....
