While attending Baron Davis and Paul Pierce's annual L.A. Stars charity basketball game at USC's Galen Center, O'Neal says he'd like for Indiana to trade him to L.A. O'Neal was quoted as saying, "It's time for me to move on. And the Lakers are the team I want Indiana to trade me to." He went on to say that after this year, if he indeed stays a Pacer, he will opt out and become a free agent.
In what has become the "Summer of Kobe", the Lakers have tried to trade for players to compliment Kobe Bryant. Earlier this summer, unless you live in a cave, already know that Kobe has made it clear to Lakers management that he wants out. Trade talks have stalled over Indiana's insistence that the Lakers' package include both Lamar Odom and 19-year-old center Andrew Bynum. The Lakers reportedly have countered with an offer that would send Kwame Brown, Brian Cook and Bynum to the Pacers but Larry Bird hasn't bitten yet.
