Lamar Odom anyone?

[KingKong]

Ok hear me out atleast. I like LO, and think he still has "mad" untapped potential. Although his natural postion is small forward, he is 6"10, and I think with him and Brad in our front court, our princeton offense could thrive. He could be somewhat of a Webber replacement, albeit a poor man's one. He has very good rebounding numbers, and is a very good playmaker. He doesn't have much of a low post game, but outside of Duncan and Shaq who really does these days. Our frontline would probably still get abused by other teams, but we could use part of the MLE to sign an Evans type player as a backup and we would still have Skinner backing Brad. Not sure if the Lakers would want to do this trade, but I checked it on realgm and we would have to send Kenny Thomas and Corliss to get it done. Your thoughts?

Good deal for us, terrible deal for the Lakers. I don't know why they would do that, esp now Phil is coaching them again. Lamar would serve the Scottie Pippen role for them, and could thrive in that role. Trading for Lemar would probably cost us Peja and I don't know if that is worth it for us.

 

[Bricklayer]

I was in favor of trading PEJA for him for those same reasons -- has a lot of the skills we used to have in our PF. But there is not a snowball's chance in hell the Lakers would trade him for our spare parts. In particular with PJ back in town he is as valuable a piece as any of our core guys, let alone our PF by committee.

I would love to see it happen but doubt they would.

i can see lamar odom here. but realistically we'll have to give up one of the big 3.

 

[Folsom Al]

Like it - Love it ... not too many ways to make that a WIN-WIN for both sides

 

[hoopsfan]

PJ's too high on Lamar...he's not going anywhere.

 

[AriesMar27]

lamar is completely out of our reach.... if phil wasnt the coach, maybe trading thomas and filler for him would work seeing s how they just got brown and odom is playing sf again.....

 

[captain bill]

Maybe in a year, if PJ can't make him work. But then I'm not sure I would want us to take him on.

 

[ONEZERO]

I'll pass..... I'm not ready to dump one of our core for lamar.... I rather trade one of our core for someone else.... Besides, as stated by others, with phil there the lakers do not do this trade.

 

[AriesMar27]

unless they take thomas and corliss but why would they? since that isnt happening.... oh well...

I just cant see us trading with the hated lakers no matter the circumstance.

kobe for peja. right now.

And the Lakers would do that deal why exactly?

 

[SacTownKid]

Lamar has a lot of UNTAPPED potential, if you know what I mean. He is an interesting subject however, but with the addition of Bonzi, I would like to see what this team could do.

I think he was referring to the earlier comment about "Not dealing with the Lakers rather than an actual trade.

 

[bibbyweb]

Lamar Odam is a good player, would be useful addition, but only at the right cost. I wouldn't want to give up any of the core guys for him.
