Hey Fresh, honestly I don't even think its going to cost the Lakers Odom for Artest, heck he can opt out if his current contract now if he finds a contender, meaning the Lakers or heck give up Vlad Rad and his stupid contract and draft picks to Sacramento in a sign and trade. The Kings know they won't get much anyways, better something than nothing
I think Artest would be the missing piece for a NBA Championship for the Lakers, be it he stays out of trouble. Legit defender, low post player and most of all the guy has "hustle" and "heart" when he's focused on the court. Addition of Bynum coming back, helps Kobe out defensively, no brainer ... even if we lose Odom, it might be worth the risk
