RealGM and DraftCity reporter Jonathan Givony are reporting that there is serious trade talk between the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers about a deal that would send center Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami Heat for forwards Lamar Odom, Brian Grant, and two future first-round picks.

The Lakers initially demanded that guard Dwayne Wade be included in the deal but the Heat balked and two future first-round picks were reportly placed on the table instead.

When Givony approached Heat President Pat Riley about the speculated deal at the Orlando summer league, Riley issued multiple "no comments" to reporters and said the deal was just a rumor.

For this trade to work, the Heat will likely have to throw in filler to make the salaries match while possibly sending forward Malik Allen and center Wang Zhi-Zhi to Los Angeles.

Contrary to widespread speculation, Odom is not a BYC player as he was signed with cap space last summer.
