I'd be fine with that as a return, though I'm not sold on Bynum like every basketball fan seems to be. His injuries are a concern, but he's still young and has time to work things out. My concern with the guy is the same thing with Bargnani - his head. The guy simply seems lost out there sometimes and that's something you can't teach a player to get better at (same reason I'd stay away from doing a S&T with Miami for Beasley, though he comes with a whole set of other concerns). Odom still has game and has shown he's willing to take a back seat if necessary, so I'd have no problem with him on the team (though I'd also have very limited expectations for him). It all depends where Bosh wants to go though, so until he decides that, everyone else will have to wait around. Lets say he goes to LA for the above package, I'd like to see Weems, Calderon and Turkoglu packaged to Washington for Miller and Arenas. The team wouldn't look all that bad having a lineup like this:
PG: Arenas/Belinelli
SG: DeRozan/Miller
SF: Bargnani/Odom/Ebanks
PF: Davis/Johnson
C: Bynum/Alabi
Really one of those teams who could squeek into the playoffs based on having a young aggressive team run by Arenas at the point (but would unfortunately heavily rely on the guy as not messing around). It would be a nightmare if Bosh went to Chicago or Miami though. Slim pickings for a S&T. New York wouldn't be bad though.
