Hey Pete, when was the last time the Lakers made a trade that didn't work out for them?

When they traded Lamar Odom this month.

1) One can hardly assess a trade a week after it was made, and before a single game has been played

2) I was talking to Pete.

Ya, the Lakers have been very successful in their trades. It's been quite a while since they came up on the short end of one. We've sucked in free agency though, and have traded a lot of draft picks away.

As for the Odom trade, it's a really unique set of circumstances due to the veto of the CP3 deal. I think they should have held on to him despite Odom's trade demand, but the trade exception that they got in return does have a lot of value around the league.

That being said, I don't think we're going to have the same roster at the end of the year that we do now.

I understand regular season games are exciting for a franchise like the Bulls but for a team like the Lakers this is exhibition game number 1 of 66 before the real season starts.

Kobe having ball handling problems. The crossover just isn't there. Ebanks looking good.

Sloppy end to the half.



Man, I think Mike Brown has played everybody on the bench so far. Quite the change from Phil.
