Lamar Odom is soft and chokes under any kind of pressure. And he has a really weird shaped head.

Vlad Rad is the most one dimmensional player in the league. Does nothing but stand at the three point line on offense, and doesn't defend on the other end. And only gets rebounds when it bounces right to him. My friends and I call him "Serbian Tim Thomas."

No thanks on either.

As a big Odom fan I've been thinking about this one. My guess is the Lakers and Kings talk trade with Odom and Artest as the principles. How much fun would a Kobe-Artest duo be to watch - and I'm not talking about their basketball skills. :D But maybe the Bucks could throw something along the lines of:

Villanueva/Simmons

FOR

Odom

I don't see the Lakers going for it to be honest. The Lakers need to get tougher and Villanueva won't help them there. Plus, they may not think he can play SF full-time with Gasol moving to PF next season once Bynum is healthy. He and Simmons would both give them more offensive punch, however, and that would have some value.

Like I said, I don't think the Lakers would go for it but the move would help the Bucks from a talent and salary perspective since Odom is easily the best player in the deal and the trade removes Simmons' contract from the books, replacing it with Odom's expiring deal.
Nothing will not break me.

I would pass on Odom. I think only time I thought about trading for him was when he was with the Clippers. Now i'm not to fond of him now. He kinda reminded me of a guy like Sharreef Abdur-Rahim. Pats stats on losing teams then becomes a journeymen player. Then becomes forgotton.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
