I think that the lakers should trade Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom and get Carlos Boozer from utah...what u think??

Question

I would love this trade....im a die hard lakers and kobe fan

Answer 1

i would defintely not do this trade if i were the lakers. sure odom and gasol played poorly in the finals and were critizsed by the media and their coach but hte reality is that they are both very talented player. gasol , though he maybe a softy down low, is a great post player. hes got a nice jumpshot and is a decent shot blocker. when he wants to he can be aggressive, and ultimately one of the better low post players. odom is a guy that produces many match up problems for hte lakers. hes a guy that can make plays not only as a scorer but as a passer. these kinds of big man are rare and very hard to find. like gasol there both very talented. odoms a solid defender but a streaky shooter. however, as i said before, hes versatile enough to score in other ways, such as driving it into the paint.

boozer is very good offensively but like gasol is a poor low post defender. gasol is bigger 7 feet and boozer isa 6'9 but much stronger. boozer against the lakers, also had his moments where he seemed to disappear. hes a good player but i would never deal away a similar player in Gasol whos taller and a rare specimen in odom. also boozer has an opt out option in his contract and im sure the lakers would not want him opting out and only having a tandem of bynum and kobe. also if the lakers did do this trade, who would play SF?, radmonivic? hes a good shooter but nothing special definsively. ariza? hes good defender, athletic but like odom poor shooters and hes injury prown. so no doing that trade weakens the lakers significantly and im sure with bynum returning from injury it will relieve the pressure on gasol and make him better defenively.

Answer 2

NO If i was the utah gm i would accept that trade in a second

Answer 3

i dont think so . . . boozer aint that good  . .  givin up pau and lamar??? toink! bad idea!!

Answer 4

That's a good trade, but it shouldn't be Pau and Odom.

It should be something like Odom, Mihm, Newble, Karl, and Radmonovic for Boozer and a second round draft pick.

That would be a good trade for both teams.

Answer 5

I think Utah would decline still.

Answer 6

r u kidding me.

wow

Answer 7

yea i guess tht would b alrite

Answer 8

Boozer is not worth that much. I would say just trade either Gasol or Odom. The thing is that it would benefit the Lakers but it would suck for the Jazz. The Jazz would decline the trade offer. They Jazz would lose one of there best players. Boozer is a huge offensive player for the Jazz and he is a threat. If either Gasol or Odom goes to the Jazz, they would have problems. Gasol is not s huge scorer and Odom is streaky. Boozer is has qualities that both Odom and Gasol lack. It would be a huge plus for the Lakers but the Jazz wouldn't want to make a trade like that.

Answer 9

Then who would be the center?

Answer 10

Thats way too much to get Boozer.  He is good but give up two big men for one big guy that doesn't make sense.  Also there is no way the Jazz would send him to the Lakers.  The Lakers should trade Odom though and could get good value for him from one of the teams in the East.  He could get great value in return from say the Cavs or Pistons or even the Wizards.

Answer 11

I am a die-hard Utah fan. I would love this trade. Odom is one of my favorite players.

Answer 12

stupid for the lakers trade away two good players to get one in exchange.

Answer 13

I dont think that that trade is a good one because if it was it would already be done. And also I know that Paul Gasol and Lamar Odom didnt have a great playoff but they did better than Boozer in the season and thats makes up for the lousy playing in the playoffs

Answer 14

ARE YOU SERIOUS BOOZer sucks and anyway boozer would not leave the JAZZ

Answer 15

you're joking right?

Answer 16

They should try to trade Lamar Odem and Luke Walton for Okur or Boozer and Pau and some prospects for Williams

Answer 17

No way!Did you see the way

Lamar and Pau handled Boozer

in the playoffs this past year?

Answer 18

Both teams would never do this.

Answer 19

just pau

Answer 20

you mean the same carlos boozer that got schooled by odom and gasol in the playoffs... um.. no thanks.
