Marion, Artest, Odom. It's enough to make someone's head spin.

Points in favor of Odom:

• More like to be resigned affordably next summer.
• Better passer.
• More traditional mold for Jason Thompson to emulate.

Points in favor of Marion:

• Much better defender.
• Much better shooter.
• Better player, period.
• Better fit for minutes at three.

In no other reasonable trade could the Kings pull players of this caliber. They have flaws -- every NBA player not named LeBron has them -- but these are good, good players.

I suspect you'll have thoughts.
