Mavs saved more by pawning him off on the Clippers.

That, and I'm willing to bet his candy diet is finally catching up to him. You just cannot eat like that, and stay healthy. I remember an article about how hard Nash works to avoid sugars so his body doesn't break down, and then you got this clown going out of his way to eat entire boxes of it lol

Odom is doing better each and every game the defense, passing, awareness, effort and rebounding are all there. Only thing he is struggling (somewhat greatly) is all on offense his shot looks way off and he can't exploded to the rim yet or when he drives he can't get that last push to get his shot off the glass with contact.

On offense Odom is using putbacks and tip backs to score

Odom is improving. If you thought he was terrible now look at how he was a few weeks back. :lol:
His defense, rebounding, and passing is there but his offense is atrocious. He has time I am not worried.

his contract was guaranteed last year (i think fully), so it didn't make too much sense for mavs to do that. -especially since 3m was guaranteed this year (mavs didn't want to do that) unless a team waived him by july hence whey he got dealt to clips so dallas would avoid the 3m cap hit or use that "space" for something else.

He's been playing pretty decent lately, still working on to get into basketball shape, but you can tell it's getting there.

Is it safe to say that Odom is a trojan horse?

I think he can produce for the clips by February, no where near 6th man of the year stats, but a solid rotation big man that can rebound the ball and push it up the court.

I wouldn't doubt if Lamar is strung out on psychedelics half of the games.
