I haven't done a trade before involving Chicago and L.A., but I gave it a shot here. Obviously there are some tweeks that need to be adjusted. I was thinking maybe Sacramento gives their first round pick up to someone. Here it is:

And I know that the Bulls already said no to a trade btw
marny, you should let me delete this thread, lol... you're gonna get some slack for that trade idea. Indiana gets waaaaaay too much for JO, chicago gets raped badly, it's meh for the lakers, and the kings would jump on this, although they already have martin at the 2... but man, this is a horrible, horrible trade

I like it for the Bulls because Hinrich is good enough in the backcourt, they already have Thabo to go with Crit and Douby, but it's still a bit of a hole, they have Deng at the SF who could shine as the main scoring threat at the wing, O'Neal can give them that presence down low that they need, and for center they can either try and get Chris Webber to play for a championship level team, or maybe trade one of their bench guys.
For the Pacers, I like the idea of starting over even though they have a 3-0 winning streak. Bynum, Thomas, and the rest give them hope for the future, and they are expendable in this trade thanks to what their teams get in return. Indy also trades a future protected first rounder to the Lakers to make it look a bit like they didn't get too overbountified.
The Lakers get a roster that can contend today. Kobe is already great on defense, and now he gets Artest and Wallace to help him out. He can be the guy scoring, but he also has enough guys that can get a few buckets themselves. Turiaf or Kwame start at PF, the other comes off the bench with Walton. Maybe Chris Webber would consider going to the Lakers, too. The bench scoring is the main question mark.
For the Bulls, I think they do give up a bit much, but they now have that low post scoring that they need. As long as they can hold up at the SG spot, they're fine. Might want to pick up a center, though, unless Noah shines.
For the Kings, they get help today as well as tomorrow. If Gordon can play the point, then they have a winning roster. Bibby could be traded or come off the bench. Probably be traded. Odom could start at SF or PF. If it doesn't work out, then they can let Gordon go and trade Odom's expiring contract in the offseason. I have some mixed reactions with them.
That's my analysis. I would do it as a Laker and a Pacer, possibly as a Bull, and as a King, maybe.
Would you do this trade?
