Who's better right now? Lamar Odom or Caron Butler?

.... are you serious?

butker easily

Butler right now, but Odom is still a great player, and is a terrific complimentary player.

odom is clearly a better pf, butler is clearly a better sf.

This is a hard choice.. I'll go with Odom because he does so many things on the court (when his head is on tight).. The guy can also play the 5 positions on the court.. he's a unique player.. No knock to Caron who's a great player also, but I think Odom's versatilitly makes him a better player in my eyes..

ummm ... how is this hard?

Butler is one of the best players in the NBA and Odom is a good one, but not at all near the same level.

I don't think so. Butler is definitely better at being a SF and he's a better scorer but Odom creates so many missmatches and he's better on defense.

I'd say they're about even as players. I'd take Butler without hesitation next year though with Bynum.

Butler easily

better player? butler

dude has evolved to a whole different player...

I would take odom for hte lakers because..he can play so many postiosn...like in this case..if one center goes down odom can play that position..while butler couldnt...i sure as hell wouldnt want this lineup

fisher,kobe,butler,rad,gasol....the laker lineup right now is alot better...especially when ariza gets into shape..

odom

Hmm....I think this is a lot closer than some are suggesting. If you need a #2 scoring option than Butler is clearly the choice, although if you don't then I think you probably take Odom.

On the whole I give an edge to Butler simply because he's more consistent. But when Odom is in top form he's one hell of a player.

I'm an Odom fan, but I think Butler is better. Odom has been playing great with Gasol tho.

odom is a better playmaker.butler is better at anything else.

Overall, Butler (one of my favs) is the better player...

But on The Wiz, I think we have a better use for Odom, cause we need Size and Defense in the froncourt...

Tough.

I'd take the third scorer (Butler) over the third option (Odom) for my team, the Rockets.

I love Odom's versatility and all around game, but I think Butler is the better overall player, just more consistent on both ends of the floor.

It's nice to see that people have come around on Butler.

An ASG appearance can do a lot.

Except rebounding.

You're dodging the question...the question is, who is the better PLAYER?

Butler is the better player.
