Lakers fans on another forum are saying Okafur was traded to LA as well

Any links to this?

I heard this as well but don't know the truth to it, I also heard it was either oak or ariza

Eta... Any word on a sign and trade with west

Am I the only one that's worried we won't be getting the "good" Odom? Remember, he disappointed his entire career until he was able to go to LA and only have to be a difference maker 2/3 of the time. Not convinced he's going to dig life in NOLA after getting a taste of being Mr. Hollywood. Could easily see him sulking/being disinterested.

hopefully, if Demps continues being the trade raper that he is, then Odom will never play a game as a Hornet.

I totally expect to see the terrible Odom who plays with his head up his arse most of the time.

If he doesn't flip Odom, he got Trade Raped.

I don't think so. Not in the position we were in. We could have gotten NOTHING. 2 picks, 4 players, none of which are scrubs. Demps ain't done yet. Lots of pieces to make other deals happen.

We got 4 players, but two of them are overpaid and shitty contracts is the last thing a rebuilding team needs. However, we would rather middle for years than rebuild.

I would have preferred a legit rebuild to taking on shitty contracts. There is a reason why Houston let go of that talent. It's because they were handcuffed by the contracts.

I understand, but we aren't done. Let it play out. I don't want Odom either.

Pipe dream, but if we swung Iggy and somehow Jrue from Philly I'd buy season tickets tonight.


Jack/Dragic
Martin/Belinelli
Ariza/Odom/Pondexter
Scola
Okafor

That's what we're looking at as of right now (assuming nothing else happens). We'll need to do work in FA to fill in the holes.

...or

Jack/Dragic
Martin/Belinelli
Iggy/Pondexter
Scola
Okafor

if the Philly rumors are true (please be true).

This is how I'm feeling as well. I'm approaching it as if Iggy has already been traded to us.

I'm far from an NBA cap guy. I was pretty curious myself to know what we were looking like after all the moves.

We need an electrifying player. We need Iggy. Philly has been trying to shed his contract for years.

I dislike Ariza (and Odom), so if we trade those two for Iggy I'll be ecstatic about the moves.

dang, I must have been mistaken. Who can you think of? Always seems there are a couple guys here who know the cap likes it's their business.

If Okafur is gone, we could resign West and let Scola play center (like he did when Yao was out). I could dig that...

Is Okafur going to Houston? Houston is giving up alot for just Gasol..
