Lakers Reach Out To Lamar Odom 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Oct 15, 2013 9:56 pm

The Los Angeles Lakers recently reached out to Lamar Odom.


The Lakers reached out on a personal level rather than potentially expressing interest in the free agent.


Odom dealt with personal issues in the offseason, including drugs and alcohols, according to multiple reports.

this would be a low risk, high reward pick up. if he performed, lamar would be a better stretch 4 option than jordan hill. be good for odom too. addicts need something positive to occupy their time.

that's true. Lamar usually does well career wise and personal life wise when he's on the Lakers roster. hope he gets better either way

you're undervaluing Jordan Hill. That guy is a beast on the boards and constantly working, pure energy guy.

The kardashians were screwing with him mentally. They had the whole world thinking he was some cocaine addict, but when he was made to take the test for nba teams, he was completely clean. I hope all of that drama didn't take him out of it too much, those kardashians are evil as hell.

i like jordan hill. but hes not better than a lamar odom that is playing to his level. and i could care less for hill as a jump shooting forward in dantonis system. i value him as a backup big coming off the bench providing energy and hustle plays.

No one is ever a stable person after being apart of the Sex Tape Family for only a second. May god rest Odom's soul.
