1. nobody or Pau Gasol. 2. trade LAMAR ODUMB for Ron Artest, Tayshaun Prince, or Shawn Marion (basically a good offensive SF, but a greater DEFENSIVE PLAYER.) 3. PG Fisher SG Kobe SF Artest/Prince PF Gasoft C Bynum
I say this is what's gonna happen
LAL send Odom along with Vlad or 1st rd. of 09 to PHI, PHI sends Andre Miller or sign and trade Lou Williams, along with Carney, and their 1st this year to SAC, and SAC trades Artest and Kenny Thomas/Francisco Garcia.
I would not mind this trade either.
Lamar Odom for Tayshaun Prince and Amir Johnson.
heck I'd throw Vlad and Luke in that deal to make it work.

1. Derrick Rose/Michael Beasley - still up in the air 2, Elton Brand/Corey Maggette/Michael Redd/Jermaine O'Neal/ - Scott Skiles loves Kirk Hinrich so there is a possibility the Bucks would do a Hirnich+Filler for Redd type deal. 3. Derrick Rose | Michael Redd | Luol Deng | Elton Brand | Joakim Noah (Thats my dream lineup and its not like its impossible. Just got to make the right moves. Deal 1: Michael Redd/Dan Gadzuric /Ramon Sessions for Kirk Hinrich/Larry Hughes
Deal 2: Elton Brand/Shaun Livingston for Drew Gooden/Ben Gordon/Andres Nocioni

I disagree on Prince, your probably right about Johnson, he is the same age as Bynum, both are born in 1987.
Odom was born in 1979, and Prince in 1980, so there is not any age difference.
they need some offensive firepower, they lack that, it's basically sheed or bust, or RIP or bust too many times. they need that third option, Chauncy can't come and try to save the day all the time, he needs to be more of a facilitator until the 4th quarter. so Odom would perfectly fit in, as another guy that can handle the ball run the offense.
so both (Billups and Odom) can be scorers and facilitators, and also Sheed should benefit from this, having another versatile big on the team to take pressure of him.

here is one impossible deal I thought off, it's probably the stupidist deal I have thought of ever happening, but I wanted to throw this fantasy out.
it's a 3 team trade.
LAL sends: Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom LAL receives: Ron Artest (sign and trade) and Dirk Nowitzki
SAC sends: Ron Artest (sign and trade) SAC receives: Josh Howard
DAL sends: Josh Howard and Dirk Nowitzki DAL receives: Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol
we have seen DAL can't win with Dirk as the top dog on the team (look no further then NBA Finals and collaspe aganist GSW.) and they have been struggling with him since that finals collaspe.
so it's time to completely re-shape the roster for DAL. This trade benefits DAL (some people say it won't because they lost Dirk) but it does.
the moment they traded for Jason Kidd, DEFENSE was done and Avery Johnson era was over, if they still kept Harris I would not even talk about a a Dirk trade PERIOD.
but now they want to run up and down the court with Kidd. Dirk hinders Kidd from doing that.
Dirk's game is play half-court, down low ISO all the time. which means taking a jump shot everytime one on one down low.
that hurts Jason Kidd's game as a facilitator.
with Gasol and Odom, he has more freedom to be Jason Kidd of NJ, and run up and down the court, with maybe some DEFENSE this time.
SAC, it makes sense cause you rather get some value for Artest then none, and also Howard is younger then Artest.
LAL, Artest would be a perfect fit with Kobe, I am not worried about locker room issues, Phil Jackson coached Dennis Rodman, and MJ and Rodman worked well with each other, so I don't see why Kobe and Artest won't.
now I am not sure how well Dirk would work, it would not hurt to have another star on the team, and maybe Dirk could be the other go to guy besides Kobe in the 4th quarter.
yeah, we all know Dirk crashes and burn's a lot, but if he is not he first option in the 4th quarter and is the second instead, this might actually be a good move for him and LA.
but this trade is more of my fantasy then a reality.
