Lakers won't trade Gasol & Bynum for D12 & Hedo... It's one or the other.. The exception and a fill in player to make the money even out.

NBA Refused To Sign Off On Paul Trade Again On Saturday
Dec 11, 2011 12:23 AM EST
Los Angeles was going to receive Paul, along with Jason Smith and Marcus Banks, who would arrive via sign-and-trade.
Houston agreed to send Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and a 2012 first round pick to the Hornets.
The Lakers would send Lamar Odom to the Hornets, Pau Gasol to the Rockets, and the Lakers were pursuing a first round pick to include for the Hornets.

So as far as major pieces go:
Lakers:
- Chris Paul
Hornets:
- Odom
- Scola
- Kevin Martin
- 2012 1st rd pick (from Rockets)
- 1st rd pick (from Lakers)
Rockets:
- Pau
And the league wouldn't approve THAT?! Jesus H. Christ.
Just sue somebody, CP3, because you are going NOWHERE, my dude.That is one HELL of a deal for the Hornets.
New York would have to offer Amare, Tyson Chandler, Spike Lee, and Mark Teixeira in order for the league to approve it.

Would have been a much better look, bro.Originally Posted by MR J 858
I've said this before but I really wasn't a fan of Odom since he got trade to the Lakers in the Shaq deal back in 2004.
Yeah we all know dude was and still is the most versatile player in the league. Yes he played huge whenever Bynum went down with knee injuries.
But lets be real here guys. The book on him ever since he's been in the league is he's inconsistent and could not stay focused for whatever reasons. Be it getting caught smoking weed early in his career with the Clips,losing one of his kids when they were just a infant, losing mom & grandma early in his life,then getting married to a Kardashian and having a reality show.
Dude is also 32 years old and isn't getting any younger.
Bottom line is his time was up with the Lakers and he had to go.

Especially the part about his kid; you can't hold that against him in any way. :/
I hear what your saying but don't compare what Kobe went through with his rape case to someone losing a child. Losing a child is probably the worst thing that can ever happen to any parent and will affect you no matter what you do.Originally Posted by MR J 858

I mean I understand that some serious stuff that would affect anyone.
But in any job you got to be professional and leave your personal issues out of the work space.
I hate to use this comparison but...
I mean heck Kobe when he was going through his court drama with the sexual assault case was able to frickin be in legal court in Colorado and then come back to LA a few hours later and play a Laker game to nail a game winner
Same with DFish dude was in NYC because his daughter need eye surgery. Dude flew back to Utah entered the game late in a playoff game and made some key plays & big shots to help the Jazz win in OT.

Lakers got a trade exception worth $8.9 million.
Which is going to help them very soon.

Lakers had offered Lamar Odom to teams with salary cap space, one GM says. "He wanted out and they really wanted to reduce the tax bill."
Looks like he wanted out.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers will receive a 2012 first-round pick from Dallas and possibly a second-round pick, plus an $8.9 million trade exception in the deal. It's an astonishingly low price that Dallas will pay for Odom, and the latest indication that the times and priorities may be changing in L.A. With Lakers executive Jim Buss, the son of owner Jerry Buss, heading the operation these days, the Odom trade will do little to change the opinion of those who believe they Lakers are "in cost-cutting mode," as one source close to the situation said. "I think the Buss' kids are now running the team, for the most part, and they're trying to make as much money as they can," the source said. "Everything is changing there."

It sounds like Lamar was extremely butt hurt over this trade and wanted out.
The team as it is has no real chance at winning a championship so I hope we have a losing record and all this cost cutting backfired on Jim Buss. The lakers can maybe tank the season and gain a lottery pick.
It seems like the front office has no idea what it is doing.
Zero hopes for this upcoming season.
Nothing?Originally Posted by MoNeyLiCiouS
I know we got a trade exception. But what do we have now?
We went from giving up Pau and Lamar for CP3 and now we're down to Pau and NOTHING.
I'm saying, if we can't get Dwight out of this, David Stern F'd us up.
