With games like the ones he had tonight and last night, i dont think Odom shouuld be traded. He's the best player we have coming off the bench. He SHOULD be a starter. Why trade a starter? Just ride this season and pray he'll show up in the playoffs when we need him. Oh, by the way, he said he would be glad to stay a Laker without an increase in Pay. He said he just doesnt want to take a pay cut. So, extend Kobe, Gasol, Odom and a few other players and we got a good core of players for the next few years.
Plus, who can you really trade Odom for and get someone just as versatile in return? Most offers are shooters or defenders. Odom can run the point, can shoot (sometimes), create his own shot, creates mismatches, he's long so we can use his length, and he's shown he can play good and agressive... we just need him to show up more often.
