I actually just read an article from the chicago tribune that said the lakers are very interested in Kirk Hinrich. I think that would be a good deal for us. Odom would be one of the best power forwards in the east for sure, an all-star even. Hinrich would be in a situation where he could focus on being the playmaker and not worry about scoring as much. Plus a lakers roster with pau gasol, bynum, and kobe would give Kirk a lot of open looks. We could then resign ben gordon and our back court and front court issues would be in a great position for once.

Yes, I read that report too. It sure does make basketball sense for both teams, but if I were the Lakers, I wouldn't trade Odom until at least the trading deadline. After all, he is in his final year of his deal, and I am sure more than a few teams would love to have his service or at least his expiring contract.

On the other hand, the Lakers really need more beef up front, so although this rumored deal makes some sense for both; I just don't see the Lakers doing it unless they are getting a defensive minded big in return.

Ron Artest to the Rockets. I love it. T-mac will finally get out of the first round.

No doubt... he will be in street clothes with a bad back or something.

Oops, sorry, I couldn't help it.

In all seriousness, both Yao and T-Mac have the 3rd option they always wanted and needed to win games. The Rockets are in a position to win big this season. T-Mac really does not have any more excuses this time. I wish him all the best... except when they play the Lakers.

And I am glad Artest is NOT coming to LA... I don't care what Lakers insiders are saying about Artest, I simply do not want him in purple and gold, period! Win or loss, I am sticking with Pau and Odom for at least this coming season!
