Is Luke Walton asking to be traded?

...or is he happy enough getting benchwarmer minutes and getting millions for it? he signed a contract for i think $40 million and then two things happened: Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol. Now Odom is getting the SF minutes off the bench. then there's radmanovic who's shooting pretty well this year. is he a happy camper or has anyone heard of him trying to get to a team that has more use for him?

Update:

well, he said those things when he signed his extension. when ariza and gasol weren't around yet. and all rumors start somewhere, right? =P besides, this isn't a rumor. it's a speculation. there's a difference.

    What up rataflim,

    i don't think that Walton is asking to be traded. The Lakers would gladly trade him if there was someone available. i think the Lakers would like to trade Walton and will attempt to package him or Vlad in any deal that they make. They are overloaded at that SF position- but honestly even if Walton was asking for a trade- i don't see teams lining up for him.

    Remember this Practices at Laker camp must be very interesting because the 1st team players the 2nd team. Those games must be exciting and the players get better playing against each other. That's a part of Championship teams that the average non-athlete doesn't think about.The laker match ups would be interesting.Think about it.

    Walton is a team player and will be rewarded with a Championship Ring before getting traded.

    Is Luke Walton asking to be traded.???!!!!

    And which Team is going to take his big contract.???

    I think the Lakers must release Luke Walton because he's a waste of money and 1 spot in the Lakers active roster.

    the Reality = Luke is playing in the NBA thanks to his daddy.!!!!

    no he said himself when he signed his contract Extension that he loves it in L.A. and he wants to finish his career there if possible.

    i haven't heard any stories or even rumors on it so don't start the rumors your self.
