Lamar Odom for Tayshaun Prince ?

Question

I just heard rumor about Lamar might get traded to Detroit for Prince and Kwame ...

i think it's just rumor ... but lets say if it were to happen which team would benefit more ?

Do you think Prince would give Lakers what they need in Small-Forward position ?

No hater comments please ( i know i'll get more by saying that .. )

Thoughts?

Answer 1

no Lakers will only take Prince for Odom not Kwame please not Kwame

Answer 2

this could possibly happen.

They would get the defensive expert prince,who comes with a nice amount of offence.

and they get a good sub for bynum out of kwame.

Answer 3

Tayshuan is a a very underrated player and a great defender and blocker

Now Kwame that is a different story

Answer 4

The Lakers would not permit the trade because it involve Kwame Brown. As you can see, the Pistons real intention is not Prince being traded but Kwame.

Answer 5

I don't see that happening.

Answer 6

odom is better. he rebounds better and is better on offense. i think prince is overrated. He may be a team guy but he just isnt much of an offensive player

Answer 7

They know how bad Kwame is. Of all the players to improve under Kobe's leadership, Kwame never did. Even suckish players like Vujacic and Rad look good when playing with Kobe, but Kwame...

I'd keep Odom, but Prince is really something on the court.

Answer 8

prince fits wells into the system since he can basically give you everything. drive, shoot, and defense. it's a good trade for both teams

Answer 9

Did u get that rumor from my post?

I think theres a high chance of happening both teams will be satisfied.

Tayshaun is from L.A another plus

Answer 10

I doubt this trade would go down, but seeing that the Pistons did say they wanted to make "big changes" there's a slight chance. This would definitely benefit the Lakers because Prince's defense is just what the Lakers need. He can also shoot the ball exceptionally well, an upgrade of Odom. He's also a lefty, so anything they've been doing with Odom could be replaced with Prince.

Answer 11

Teshawn would give the lakers the toughness and consistence play they need although he may not hit have a 30 point game he can give you a consistent 16-20 pts a game with 9-10 rebs and he can shutdown whoever he holds on defense.  One thing I don't like about Lamar is the fact he doesn't have a killa instinct and he just a punk.  His d-skills are ok and he may have the potential to hit 30 pts but he rarely lives up to it. I would rather the consistant play of teshawn over lamar any day.  I would definitely make that trade because teshawn would help kobe and the lakers when they need it. He adds one thing and that's toughness to the defense and that's what they need someone like him.    

Answer 12

Lol! Kwame with Lakers again!! Never!!!

They're rumors...  

Answer 13

Lamar Odom is such a great player.  people do not understand how great Odom could be if he is Consistent with his game.  If he was consistent, he would easily put 35 points -15 rebs every night.  Lamar would be a superstar if he was consistent, but hes not, so i really do not know who would benifit from it.  I mean if i was piston i would do the trade because if they train him hard enough to be very consistent then they got a huge lift to their team

Answer 14

I can't see Kwame going back to the Lakers, this is prlly a rumor.

Answer 15

to lelouch, with all do respect, the pistons intent would not be to just get rid of kwame, they would have never signed him in the first place, but then again thats only my opinion

But I have always thought that Tayshaun and Lamars games were very comparable, but Odom rebounds a little better, and Tayshaun plays better defense. If he was on a team with Kobe Bryant he would be so much better because all of the attention will be set on kobe and pau, he is detroits most underated player because he has so many other stars around him
