The Lakers’ Chris Paul Trade: Revisited - The 110 Report - The 110 Report - A Los Angeles Sports Site - Lakers, Clippers, Kings, USC Trojans, UCLA Bruins, Ducks, Angels, Galaxy

The Lakers traded away Lamar Odom for a draft pick and trade exception nearly two weeks ago. While you can try to get over the trade with our new T-Shirt in our Official Online Shop (“I Traded My Sixth Man. All I got was this damned Trade Exception”), we decided to sit down and discuss it, like we tend to from time to time. So what do the Lakers do now without Lamar Odom? (Answers after the jump.)

The Lakers had a tumultuous offseason to say the least, so naturally, we sat down to have a roundtable here on the blog. Here’s how we graded the offseason for Mitch Kupchak’s Lakers.

Derek: D-minus. The Lamar Odom trade. Enough said.

The Lakers announced that they had acquired New Orleans point guard Chris Paul in a three-team trade that required Los Angeles to trade away power forwards Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom to Houston and New Orleans, respectively. Within a few hours, the trade was stopped by the wishes of Commissioner David Stern, who is currently in the middle of ratifying the new labor constitution between owners and players. There could not have been a worse time to make the trade public, but the non-move may have been more beneficial.

It’s been a busy week for Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak(right), and an even busier week for those who have tried to keep tabs on it all. So let’s just chronicle what’s gone on Laker-wise over the last few days:

Funny NBA drama right now: #2 pick is being frantically shopped, but everyone is scared to negotiate with T-Wolves cuz they leak EVERYTHING.

 

Monday, June 20, 10:30 am: LA Times’ Lakers Blog- Should the Lakers Trade Pau Gasol to Minnesota?

Gasol for Kevin Love and Minnesota’s No. 2 pick. Even though Gasol remains one of the best front-line players in the game, the Lakers should make this deal. Love’s presence would still give the Lakers a good size combination with Andrew Bynum, and the team would be making a longer-term investment on a younger player. The Timberwolves expect the draft pick to select Arizona power forward Derrick Williams, but the Lakers could use it to address their point-guard needs, possibly with Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker or Jimmer Fredette. Kyrie Irving would also be a good pickup, but the Cavaliers are expected to select him with their No. 1 pick.

You can wipe the Pau Gasol-to-Minnesota rumor from your memory banks. “Not happening,” says a source. #NBA #draft

 

Wednesday, June 22, 12:59 pm: International Business Times- Laker Trade Rumors: Lamar Odom On the Block…Again?

As for Odom, their have been no concrete trade rumors linking him to another team, but that can change quickly. He has been a part of trade talks since his arrival in the NBA. With point guard a major hole, Odom might be a part of a deal for Denver Nuggets’ point guard Raymond Felton, or perhaps even Tony Parker or Monta Ellis, though none of those trades seem too likely. He could also be part of a more far-reaching deal.
