I think this would make Odom flourish. I'm all about helping someone come to terms w himself and become a positive, even in a business context. Unfortunately not a lot of companies think that way.

Good luck to Odom

Sure, do it.
But make no mistake Lamar, the trade from the Lakers didn't end you. Getting involved with the Kardashian dysfunction did it.

Huh....I woulda thought it was the cocaine habit he started in Miami. It makes me want to vomit defending the Kardashians...but I really don't think they take the blame for this one.

My favorite Laker of all time followed closely by Pau. Would be awesome to have him retire as a Laker. As usual, classy move from Jeanie and the rest.

To this day there are many who do not realize exactly how important Lamar was to the most recent Lakers championship teams. When he wanted to be he was an amazing rebounder and very skillful with the ball in his hands for a guy his size.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

It's a good move but I hope he doesn't take it for granted. I would hope a move back to the Lakers will give him a bump in his numbers.

was going to mention that. we already have fisher back on twc. and of course luke. this genture will bring odom closure and hopefully another step towards the right direction. and finally, also hoping pau is extended the same gesture.
