So you gain Howard, Hedo and a draft pick for Odom, Gasol and Bynum and you are still old at guard. Plus they lost Shannon Brown to free agency, but they signed Josh McRoberts so I guess all is well. 
Not Mitch Cupchack's finest off season. |
What is kind of unsaid is that Kobe is starting to slip with age and the window of opportunity for them is narrowing. This was a really bad crop of FA's but the Odom trade was supposedly the precursor to something different but what if not Howard? And honestly I do whatever I can to get Howard but between Howard's contract, Hedus and Kobe's there isnt much space left and they arent going to have appealing draft picks either. Basically they are the West coast Knicks.
