they have a gaping hole in the middle.
The Lakers find themselves in almost the same situation last year when Andrew Bynum went down with a season ending injury. They need some help in the center position and they could use a trade to get them what they need.
I played around with ESPN's Trade Machine and tried to find a suitable trade that can help the Lakers. Here's what I tried:
Los Angeles Lakers get:
- Eddy Curry
- David Lee
- Jerome James
New York Knicks get:
- Lamar Odom
- Chris Mihm
It's essentially a David Lee for Lamar Odom trade, with Eddy Curry thrown in to balance the salaries. Lakers get a good number of bigs, with contracts that expire 1-2 years from now.
What do you think?
