I think if he were healthy a Bynum deal would work.
With Brand not being healthy I keep Bynum (so would Mitch)
In that case Odom, Farmar and at least 3 picks is what it would take. Radman and all those guys are just role players. They need a pg but remember they passed on Critt so he would not get it done with Odom.

That Nicka wrote:but why would Wizards do it? they are in the playoffs right now without their best player and Jamison is a more consistent scorer than Odom


I have no idea why. But I guess because he's played with Caron Butler before, twice. He's three years younger than Jamison. He's a better fit in the East, well at least compared to him on the Lakers. He's got one more year on his contract.

But really I have no idea. I just want Odom traded to an Eastern team for an expiring contract. That's all.

So you would trade an undersized pf for a center with elite potential? If Brand were healthy you'd do that? :crazy: :noway:

Farmar, Turiaf, and Kwame's expiring contract might get it done.

Sterling is notoriously stingy, and he can't be happy about paying a lot of money for an underachieving team. Clippers won't make the playoffs for a long time, not without a good point guard. The West is too stacked, and will be for a while.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Clips blow up their team soon. Elton Brand has the biggest contract, and still has value. But he's pushing 30 soon and that ruptured achilles might make Elton a prime candidate to move.

But would we be willing to give up those players, even for Elton Brand?

Turiaf is a skilled young big with a ton of potential (stamina really) and Farmar is the main reason for our great bench.
