Considering the Lakers are over the salary cap, rumors have it that the Lakers will keep one not both. Odom has mentioned that he would be willing to take less, but how much less. I think Odom currently makes $11M/yr, and I don't think any team is willing to pay that much.
Lakers problem is that they signed Walton, Vujacic and Bynum to long-term contracts. I expect the Lakers to try and trade Vujacic, and possibly Farmer. Doubt there will be any takers. Lakers need a decent size and fast point guard to keep up with the Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, and every other point guard. Fisher will be in the last year of his contract in 2010.
They are both way too valuable. I hope they can keep them. Sasha's gotta go, and I like Farmar but he hasn't been himself. Shannon Brown has gotten valuable too, it'll be interesting to see what they do with him. Bynum will be fine once he's had a chance to get back in shape.
The thing is though, once a team wins a championship, key players become so valuable I'm sure Odom and Ariza will get tons of offers.
