Stealing Lamar Odom - our chances?

Zero chance we can get Odom...

Good because I don't want him. In a seven games series Odom is a lock to play decent in 1.5 games. Let LA keep him.

[Gant]

I think he might end up with the Spurs if they lose out on Rasheed. If that happens I hope our visiting friends from LA don't become glum.

Nice hyperbole Lakers fans, I enjoyed it.

[Scalamental]

We don't want Odom, trust me. <---- That was a Gary Tanguay. But seriously we don't want him.

Odom goes to the losers of the Turk sweepstakes, Portland.

acquiring Lamar is dumb in my opinion. he'd be backing up the 3 and 4 positions.... which is where we have most of our talent. why would we bolster that even more? he'd play 20 mins a game behind PP and KG getting paid more than 2 of our starters.... while we'd have nothing backing up the 5 spot.

This is even dumber if we sign sheed. Wallace is not content backing up perk fr 18 minutes a game. He needs to backup KG as well, netting him the 30 a game he deserves at his income and skill level.

If we bring in Wallace, all we need is a couple stiffs like Robert Swift and Mikki Moore on the bench as disaster insurance. Perk, KG, Wallace, Scal, stiff 1, stiff 2 should suffice as a big man rotation. That way you actually have leftover money to resign Marbury and pick up a decent backup wing that primarily defends the 3.

There are Boston fans who know what they are talking about.

I highly doubt Odom would go to the Celtics.

07-08 Lakers not at full health
08-09 Celtics not at full health.

For the sake of basketball, I hope both teams are healthy in June playing each other in a 7 game series.

Amen to that. Bring on the 09-10 season!

um... the 08-09 celtics were missing the reigning defensive player of the year AND his backup

the 07-08 lakers were missing a 21 yr old backup....

absolutely no comparison.

I do NOT think we'll be seeing Odom in green. Ariza is on his way out, so the Lakers will sign Lamar.

Plus, after losing to Boston, I doubt he'll win a title with LA and then go and sign with the Celtics.
