Lakers trade rumor involving Jermaine O'Neal?

Rumor has it:

Jermaine O'Neal for Lamar Odom+Andrew Bynum.

Do you agree?

What's your thoughts?

Personally, I hate to see Lamar Odom goes to another team.

    This is a trade that the Lakers need to make in order to give them a chance in the tough Western Conference and to keep Kobe happy. Kobe and Lamar have been together for a couple of years now and have shown nothing to suggest that they can get any better then they are know. And Andrew Bynum is a nice young player but you don't know exactly what kind of player he will be and by the time he is Kobe will be past his prime. Jermaine O'Neal is a proven All-Star who put in the right situation can excel and it gives the Lakers another proven scoring threat something they severely lack.

    I think this O'Neal won't bring a ring to the lakers

    like the real O'Neal.

    Lamar is a good play, I think to give him up the

    trade is even, except Jermain is younger.

    Bynam once he got the big bucks is taking it easy.

    So he is not a big loss.

    I would say Rashid Wallace would be a better player

    to go after, since the lakers can't play defense.

    Jermain is not known fo rhis defense exactly.

    This could happen. Kobe want's to play with JO and the Pacers are in dire need of a shakeup and Bynum could be the key to rebuilding. Look for a package deal of JO and Jamaal Tinsley to go to the Lakers for Bynum, and a couple of draft picks.

    It doest really solve the issue of getting a play maker and an outside scorer. the bench will be even more shallow if Bynum goes. If Odom stays, then this deal makes sense.

    large commerce. yet you do no longer gotta make it this complicated. there's a deal on the table precise now. Odom-Bynum for JO. Indiana will settle for it. although, the Laker administration look to have their heart set on protecting Bynum

    awesome for the lakers. they have a post threat now. odom kind of plays like kobe, he shoots, doesnt really post up and dominate the inside. odom is tradedable, but bynum, ..... i think j.o. is one the best post players. duncan, brand, shaq yao, garnett, amare, lakers should be lucky if they get him, he's also a great shot blocker.

    If the Lakers do it they still will not be as good as the Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Jazz, Rockets, or the Nuggets on a good night. You need a lot more than just him. Plus he has had injury problems lately.

    personally I think the lakers have to do whatever to showan effort in making change. I dont't think they'll get both l.o. and bynum but maybe I'd do it
