Laker fans running scared.
If I were a Laker fan I wouldn't be a huge Odom fan either. You guys probably have the same frustrations with him that we had with Diaw.
Like I said, idk why he's anxious to go elsewhere. I'm just guessing.
I gotta agree with Stephen A over here, and I too may very well delete this post.
They're very similar players. Both situations of perimeter players who had a growth spurt way later than usual so they aren't used to playing inside and the fans of the team they play for get frustrated as can be about their love for settling for jumpers.
It's a tough call who I'd take. Odom's got a lot more talent but Diaw's post skills and post defense are both underrated. I'd probably agree that I'd take Diaw.
lol tradition... the nba is a business, you take things personal and thats when you get hurt.
Laker fans, wake up. This is obvious.
Lamar hates playing with Bryant, just like 99% of the other guys on the Lakers. He used to talk about hating it right after the trade, when the Lakers were missing the playoffs. But Lamar has been a good soldier and hasn't said anything in the last couple of years after they brought in more players and got better.
Lamar knows good and well that Bryant can't carry the Lakers anywhere next year without him, but he could go to Miami and help resurrect the Heat alongside Wade.
DWade is actually a great teammate, as opposed to the jake that Bryant is.
PG: Chalmers
SG: Wade
SF: Odom
PF: Beasley
C: O'neal
That's a team that can make it past the 1st round.
That team can beat the Lakers... the Miami bench is also much better than the Lakers bench.
lol the contenders are trying to get a pep rally going to get odom to go to the heat
Imagine if they got Odom and the Booze man w/o giving up Beasley
Chalmers
Wade
BEASTley
The Booze man
O'Neal
w/ Odom leading a good team off the bench.
Grim news.
Looks like Im going to have an expensive bar tab and im going to lose this bet.

AW basically said he is gone to the heat unless the lakers come and do something. it sounds like he is giving the lakers a last shot to offer something or he will just go to miami for mle and somehow have the promise of the bird rights and the heat coming through and resigning him for a lot of more money than the mle is 3 yrs, the thing with the nba though promises fail. ask boozer a potential teamate
If this happens, the Lakers are in trouble if they cant make a trade to fill Odoms absence. They will literally have a weak bench and it will be on the starters to get the job done. That is bad news to LA if they have to rely on Brown/Sasha/Walton/Powell/Mbenga/Farmar as their bench.
The Lakers have to offer Warrick the LLE if they can't re-sign Odom. He isn't nearly as good, but very solid.
I call BULL !
If Odom was gonna bolt for Miami, he would have done it already.
This is just stupid tactics. He's trying to scare the Lakers into thinking he might really bolt.
IF LAMAR ODOM JOINS THE HEAT, I WILL NOT POST FOR ONE YEAR!!!
Big Drama Queen act put on by Odom and Lakers Marketing to keep the Laker Clones in hot flashes.
He stays in LA.
is that you spursdynasty?
Fabbs, getting his weak personna down pat.
Speaking of which, there's another thread about how Gooden is another free agent making his decision on where to go today. If Odom does leave for Miami, it really does screw the Lakers over.
Odom's defection would weaken the Lakers...and Gino being gone would be the cherry on top of that.
this is obviously a last ploy to get the lakers to raise their offer. if buss doesn't go back on his word then odom will probably leave.
Christ-a-mighty, SOB waits till June of '09 of his entire life to get his contrary on. At least we got the up front benefit of his new found ball sack with those 2 3's in Florida. Now we get the sandwich.
In for penny. In for pound.
