Yeah i don't think Jamison comes back to us at all.

LO has to choose between being a key player or being an insurance policy hoping other guys win him a chip. So does he feel like he has something to prove or has all this Kardashian publicity made him shy of being in any kind of spotlight? I would hope he wants to hear the rally to arms and charge it, but idk he's an odd dude.

Some Laker fans actually believe that a 37 year old defensive liability journeyman, Antawn Jamsion is better than a 33 year old Lamar Odom?

It's not all about scoring and even in that department when LO gets it going I'm not even sure Antawn is heavily favorited there.

Ireland was on the radio today pretty much saying what the "Bring back Lamar" group of us has been saying. The Lakers need him more than the Clippers and he's guaranteed at least +26mpg at least with us. But if he does go back to the Clippers it just shows like the fellas in here that dont want him back have been saying, " He mentally and physically is drained and done." Me personally bring Lamar back he's exactly the missing piece this roster needs (Besides an elite wing defender Tony Allen like lol)

They were also on ESPN 710 saying that if the Clippers really wanted they could sign both Odom and Jamison. Now thats really kicking us in the gut lol

With Jamison opting not to attend his exit interview I think he's done with the lakers for good. Or maybe I'm just looking too much into that.

you're reading too much into it. he had surgery the morning after the scheduled meeting, he said that he missed it cause of simple miscommunication about how everything was going to happen.

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... st-surgery

Jamison was scheduled for an exit interview with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak on Monday but missed it because of a miscommunication.

"He doesn't want anyone to think he blew anyone off," the source close to Jamison said. "Not his style or his character, especially after 15 years."

Regardless. Im sure you heard his interview on the ESPN radio. Dude did not sound like he liked playing for MDA.

fully agree, i just don't think the missed exit interview had anything to do with those feelings.

Yeah I agree with that. Although you have to wonder if It was someone he enjoyed playing with if he would have put the surgery off for one day.

Both are great values although seem low probability... LO is the better defender, passer and rebounder but Jamison is the better scorer and is game ready...

I would take Antawn Jamison over Lamar Odom any day of the week. Better attitude, works hard, isn't lazy, isn't a slacker and can shoot

Antawn officially signed with the Clips 1 Year @ vet min. No hard feelings. The guy gave us good value for a season.

As much of a train wreck that LO is in, I would love for him to figure things out while focusing on the team that he will be rememberd for winning with: our Lakers.

Jamison was solid for us IMHO. We got more than what we paid for for the vets min.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!
