The Los Angeles Lakers must want Kevin Garnett badly. Most news sources are reporting that the Lakers are willing to part with Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum, in exchange for Kevin Garnett. A few news sources are including Kwame Brown in the trade:
“The Wolves might get Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and Kwame Brown in return for Garnett. That deal would offer the Wolves a mix of salary cap relief, a young center with potential, and Odom, who would give the Wolves a solid player to bridge the present and future.”

Would this move be enough to placate Kobe Bryant? - The Lakers consistently have refused any trade offers involving Andrew Bynum. That was before Kobe insinuated that the Lakers, with their present lineup, were a bunch of losers and he wanted nothing to do with them. It does make it somewhat awkward for Kobe to go back to the NBA battles with this group. It seems that the Lakers are about to offer two of last season’s starters - and perhaps their future center, Bynum - for Kevin Garnett. One would think that, if the Lakers are giving up so much, they should ask for Mark Madsen to be included in the package. The Laker fans would be overwhelmed.

No i agree man bynum avereged 10.1 pts odom avereged 16 or so bynum is gonna be an all star some day the lakers need to win. With d fisher back in the lineup kobe and fisher with luke can facilitate garnet. Garnewtt has been seen all over town this week going to the atp tennis tournament in ucla and going to watch david beckhams debut in carson dont you see something? It makes sense to me and it should make sense for the wolves they get odom he will shine there i think he wull develp there. Derek fisher and kobe will facilitate him and garnwt can make thw shots he can give it to fish for the three pt. Or kob, garnett could rebound. I think fisher eill get morw assists this year because his role was a purew shooter for utah. With the limited roster fisher will become valuable and he is going to develop as a better player this year… Odom will further developi have a feeling there is a trade in the works throw in sasha cos we have to get rid of him to clear cap space. G man has a house in malibu. Do it!

[...] With Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett joining Paul Pierce, the Celtics will be expected to be a playoff team. The trade instantly elevates the Celtics as one of the elite teams in their division. The trade also crushes the hopes and dreams of the Lakers fans. There will not be any Kevin Garnett - Kobe Bryant tandem. And it would not be surprising to hear more ‘trade-me’ requests from Kobe soon. [...]
