how much would the lakers be hurt if odom leaves?
hey 360, if Lamar Odom is so good, where are his all-star appearances?? i mean you'd think if he was such an amazing player he'd get atleast ONE right?don't give me anything about double doubles or versatility - because he's the most inconsistant motherfucker ever...THE JD DREW OF THE NBA LMAO

I care about the team. And we replaced him with Artest, so it's all good.The nighmare is replacing Odom with Gooden or Joe Smith!!those are solid players. But they arent the offense threat coming off the bench that Odom CAN be when he shows up.Think about your bench, who is gonna be the playmaker? Sasha? Luke? Farmar? lol. Scary shit...

on the subject of it nikwhy did ariza leave? (in your opinion?)
Lamar Odom calls Jerry BussSo sayeth our man Jim Hill, a cool cat with the best hair in the biz. The purpose of said phone call? Repairing any bridges in need of fixing after Doc B. didn't take kindly to un-returned calls from LO's agent Jeff Schwartz. Does that mean LO is definitely favoring the Lakers over, say, the Miami Heat, who have reportedly offered him five years/35 mil (or haven't, according to the Tweets of Ric Bucher)? No, but it does stand to reason that Lamar hasn't decided to close his purple and gold chapter. Otherwise, unless Odom wants an invite to Jerry Buss' poker game whenever he's in L.A., I don't know why he'd bother placing the call.A promising development for those hoping LO will stick around. We'll have more details as they emerge.http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2009/07/lamar-odom-jerry-buss.html

Scary shit...1) Honesly our offense is the last thing i'm worried about. Odom ain't valuable for that. Our problem is the opposite. It's that Bynum can't defend, and Bynum+Gasol means Bynum is out after 5 minutes with 2-3 fouls, and we need a defensive stopper inside. Odom fills that role perfectly. Every fucking night. Then sometimes he plays well in offense, someday he doesn't. But that's the last thing i'd ask him to do. He's a Robert Horry type of player. He was a key player not because of his points per game, but because of his defense next to Shaq. Solid role players lead you to the win, remember that.2) Shannon Brown can be a good backup PG.

I mean, other then him there isnt another bench player that can create on their own. They are all dependant players.

Last point , some of you are speculating why the hell he will go to another team for less money and less chances to win it all ... well just my opinion but LO has already been a lazy type of player , not a hard worker and got a "soft , very laid back" type of mentality .... now that he won a ship , why not going to a team with less expectations so he can play without too much pressure and relax on Miami beaches instead of being part of a team which is on the spotlight every game and which is expected/under pressure to win several titles ....

I agree, besides he doesn't have to put up with Kobe's antics and his phony laughs. Do you think he'll end up leaving?
