Yep, was thinking the same thing.

Surprised noone was has said anything about this Odom coming to the Lakers a day before Lamar Odom made his return back to Staples. Karma is real.

My first reaction after hearin gabout the pick was that the Lakers were effin' with Lamar's head a little bit, especically when you consider that they bought the pick from Dallas and they were engaged in talks to help the Clippers get him until Utah stepped in.

Note: I know the Lakers like Johnson-Odom, but I still kinda feel like their messin' with Lamar's head at the same time. Call me crazy.

Hope scouts were wrong about doubting him because of his size. Kinda reminds me of Ben Gordon. Isaiah Thomas was drafted late and panned out last year... hopefully this guy has the same success. Looks like he's a lights out shooter with freak athleticism and he works hard on defense according to scouts.

Can't wait to see goudelock and this guy in the summer league :droop:

our future lead guards are damn long (the Darius-es). both 6 foot 5 inches. looks promising.

he is?! damn, our back ups are almost of AI height.

hope Darius and G-Lock bring AI offense (aggressive but efficient, hopefully).

Glock says, my ass hurts from sitting on the bench

Meanwhile DJO and Glock are practically the same player
