He will be in the last year of a contract that pays him $14.1 million next season and is essentially a more palatable version of Kwame Brown, an expiring contract who can actually catch an entry pass and fill a stat sheet, though not always consistently.
Odom and Gasol showed high-level cohesion over the last two months of the regular season and through most of the playoffs but were soundly outplayed by the Celtics' frontcourt in the Finals.
Odom said he wanted to "get better this summer individually" and also hoped the Lakers came back with a feistier attitude next season.
"Get stronger, get nastier," he said. "It's called a disposition, just to carry yourself a certain way throughout the game. I think [Boston] did a better job of that, playing a certain way for a longer period of time."
If the Lakers trade Odom, they could bring in more consistent outside shooting, especially if they lose Vujacic to free agency. Memphis swingman Mike Miller would be a snug fit for the offense, though the Grizzlies are probably done dealing with the Lakers after being publicly ridiculed for trading Gasol to them in February.
The Lakers could also use a defensive presence in the frontcourt other than Bynum, which Jackson has referred to from time to time.
"The only missing part that I've always consistently said is we need a head-banger, we need a tough guy on this team," Jackson said after signing a two-year extension with the Lakers a month into this season.
On Tuesday, after the six-game ouster in the Finals became official, Jackson said the Lakers had to "get some players if we're going to come back and repeat, to have that kind of aggressiveness that we need."
Vujacic emerged as a dependable shooter halfway through the regular season and at times in the playoffs. He will draw more interest in the free-agent market than Turiaf.
Jason Kapono, a veteran shooter who is somewhat comparable to Vujacic in ability, signed a four-year, $24-million contract last summer with Toronto. The Lakers might part with that kind of money to keep Vujacic, who sounded as if he wanted to stay when asked about the Lakers' future.
"I think next year, especially with Andrew and the same group, we won't be short two games like we were this year, I can guarantee you that," he said. "Personally, I'm going to work myself really hard in the gym all summer. We want to win it."
Vujacic, 24, made $1.8 million this season. Turiaf, 25, earned a relatively low $770,610.
