Good news Mihm has resigned .. now Kwame is on the trade block imo
Damn the Lakers almost had Gerald Wallace in a 3 team deal!QuoteAccording to multiple league sources, the Nets were "very close" to completing a three-team trade that would have landed Lamar Odom from the Lakers while sending Richard Jefferson to the Bobcats. The Lakers, in turn, would have received Gerald Wallace from Charlotte."It was very close, but just didn't happen," said one league source.The three-way talks flourished a few weeks ago, and one source insisted Charlotte part-owner Michael Jordan squashed the deal. Wallace, who shares the same agent, Rob Pelinka, as Kobe Bryant, yesterday re-signed with Charlotte (six years, $57 million) after averaging 18.1 points. Odom averaged 15.9 points and 9.8 rebounds for L.A. while Jefferson averaged 16.3 points. So the Nets' Big Three of Jason Kidd, a re-signed Vince Carter and Jefferson nearly evaporated. Again.http://www.nypost.com/seven/07202007/sports/nets/deals_fall_through__big_3_stays_intact_nets_fred_kerber.htm

Odom > G.Wallace period.
Its time we pull the plug on this whole Lamar Odom experiment. He's just not doing what we need him to. Unless we can bring in a 20 point big man and move Lamar back to the 3.

I wish we had more guys with his character on this team in the NBA.

Maybe for Wallace & Okafor, but we can't waste our 2nd best player to get Wallace.I like Wallace, but I wouldn't do that trade either because at best it's a lateral move.Also, pulling the plug on the Lamar Odom experiment? I'm sorry but that is absurd. This guy went out there and fought through personal tragedy and carried the team while Kobe was nursing himself back to health. He came back from his knee injury premature and played through that, hurting his shoulder. he played through that injury, potentially jeopardizing his career and played big in the playoffs.Why wouldn't you want a guy on like that on this team? With all of the bullshit that we've been subjected to over the last few years, Lamar Odom is one of the few bright spots on this team. He doesn't whine, bitch or complain, he goes out there and plays hard and does his job.I wish we had more guys with his character on this team.

I agree with what you said but Lamar failed to be THE 2nd option we need and didn"t have that "All Star" type of season expected... Lamar is very useful in all sectors of the game but we can't win with him as the 2nd best player of the team
I think if you take away the unfortunate injury he suffered, he definitely had an all-star caliber season...It had to AT LEAST be better than Josh Howard's, who made the team.
