Default Blockbuster NBA trade possible

ESPN reporting that the GM's are trying to work out a deal where Celtics get Amare Stottlemyer, Lakers get Kevin Garnett, Indiana gets Odom and Bynum and Minnesota gets #5 pick, #12 pick, and two Celtic players...interesting!

The Lakers have offered Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown for Garnett, the Times reported, citing unnamed sources.

LA Times says Boston and Indiana not involved as previously reported.

Minnesota should do it if they can turn around and trade Brown to the Knicks for three #1 draft picks

I think it's a bad trade for the Lakers. KG, in my very humble opinion, is highly overrated and won't make much of a difference.

Garnett can still play a great game.....I'm suprised that the Bynum kid would go....it only works if Kobe stays though! Course,after KB bitch-slapped Bynum in the media, I don't doubt Bynum is looking for a fresh start.

Being a Lakers fan, Kobe and Garnett would be unstoppable and they would win probably 5 if not more Championships in a row together, and I do think Garnett is a good player, but I would say that he is a little overrated still. Hell yeah I'll still take him on the Lakers, but that's just because it would be impossible for Garnett to be overrated with Kobe next to him.

They would still need a center and point guard to dominate, especially out west...teams don't win championships without a good center (last was the Bulls with Luc Longley and they had that guy...you know, Michael something).

Kobe is a great player but there is only one Michael Jordan....just like in racing, there is only one Secretariat!

KG to the Lakers wouldnt get them over the hump. If they were in teh East, yeah, a sure lock to get to the Finals. As it is, they are in the West, and such move would really not even matter. The West is too stacked at the moment for this move to even make a tremor in the ranks.

Heard Phoenix is involved seperately, but any deal involving Garnett, Minny wants Amare in return.
