Lamar Odom as a possibly SF backup?

[mute]

I've heard from various sources around the league that Lamar Odom is posed to make a comeback. What do you guys think about at least giving him a private workout and see what he has left in the tank? In his day, Odom was the ultimate four-tool player. He could score, pass, rebound, and defend. He was an opponent's match up nightmare. He had the size of a 4 or 5, but the speed and quickness of a 2 or 3.

With the emergence of Patty Mills (and De Colo has shown some flashes this year as well), I think our only need remains at the back SF position. Kwahi needs his rest if he's gonna matched up in a 7 game series against the likes of Kobe, Lebron, or Durant.

Odom played 82 games last year in a limited role, and so far, it looks like his reality TV drama are behind him.

Odom is the laziest mofo, you could count on one hand the number of minutes when he actually cared about b-ball in his career. Pass.

LO wants to live in LA. As previously mentioned the Clips and Lakers would have to pass on him before he'd even look farther afield. If the Lakers would pass on him with their present roster, then you know he's finished.

We already have Diaw who is proven to be able to play and defend at the SF spot already and is having his best season in years right now.

We don't need Odom. I think SF is pretty much our strongest spot right now considering Danny Green and Manu can also play SF. So basically we have 4 dudes that play SF. Leonard being probably our 3rd best player right now.

Not to mention Odom hasn't successfully played SF in like 8 years, and especially can't nowadays with his body type..

I would totally take Odom for a limited role.

He was a very good player in L.A. until he got traded after the lockout, a train wreck ever since.

Those who call themselves Clipper fans should be worried that they are seriously looking at him. They already having the stretch big in Mullens and Jamison and can go small with Barnes at the 4 in very limited occasions. He would be a redundant part.
