Give me your insight!

Answer 1

AWESOME TRADE!!!

BEST TRADE EVER!!!!

Answer 2

Yea but the Lakers only get one good player: Butler.

Answer 3

For the Lakers: It helps them perhaps the most considering they just aquired Mr. Fantasy(again). 20 ppg, 8 boards, 2 steals, good percentages.  

For the Kings: Shipped off Artest and in return acquired a great player in Odom

For the Wizards: This is a bad trade for the Wizards in some sense.  Butler was their prize peace and i really dont see them trading Butler, Jamison or Arenas.  And now the Wizs will have two point guards who need the ball in Arenas and J-rich.  But what a Former Warriors Reunion again wouldnt it be?

For the Bobcats:  This trade is horrible for the Bobcats because they fianlly have a guy who can give them 20 ppg nite in, nite out(j-rich) and now they are gambling on Artest a guy who you can tell will demand the ball and demand the attention in such a young ball club which could pose as a bad influecne.  They already have several pieces in Charlotte, they need ot keep J-rich.  And Brandon Haywood is just a waste of money for them.  They arent going to trade away J-rich and still adopt a fat contract from a sub=par player.

Answer 4

the lakers would just win the championship with Butler...

so ya it is good..

Answer 5

good trade

Answer 6

I don't like that trade.

Answer 7

That's a great trade for all four teams.

Answer 8

Yeah it's alright!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Didn't the Lakers already have Caron Butler on their team before? I don't think the Wizards would trade their All-Star for J-Rich, thats a stupid trade. The Lakers get the best end of the trade and they only trade LO? Thats not possible, bad trade.

Answer 10

Thats actually a very good trade. Everyone gets a good player. I think all teams would be happy.

Answer 11

The Bobcats and Wizards lose.

The Bobcats lose an elite scorer(J-Rich) for an insane piece of trash(Artest). His defense doesn't make up for the baggage he brings along with him.

The Wizards lose Caron Butler for someone who is almost the same player offensively but worse defensively and is older.

The Lakers get Caron, making up for the mistake of trading him earlier and the Kings get Odom and rid themselves of Artest
