KG to Boston - or Lakers?

KG to Boston is alive, although not exactly as reported by ESPN – they left out KG’s trade kicker, so Boston would have to trade all of Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, plus at least Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine, just to make the money work. That leaves them with next to no roster. I wonder if instead Boston would go for the following deal that sends KG to the Lakers – KG, Minnesota, and the Lakers presumably all would, as KG prefers LA to Boston, and Minnesota still gets everything they want from Boston, plus offloading two more contracts. Boston wouldn’t get KG, but they would get a good player at the same position in Lamar Odom, plus an excellent prospect in Bynum to make up for the one they’re losing in Jefferson, plus another badly needed rotation player in Radmanovic. This seems to me better all around…
