Rumor: Clippers 3 Way Trade with Lamar Odom & Mo Williams (Lakers/Clippers/Mavs)

[SpecialQue]

Reportedly, the Mavs are attempting to trade Odom to the Clippers and will need a third team to get involved. That third team may very well be the Los Angeles Lakers. The three-team trade would send Mo Williams to the Lakers in exchange for the $8.9 million trade exception received in the deal for Odom last year according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com.

I don't know what the hell else the Lakers are doing with that trade exception, so I love this trade. I've always liked Mo, plus Odom to the Clippers would be irresistible.

Get it done, Mitch/Kiki/Donnie!

[Rnbizzle]

Mo and Kobe.. I don't really see that working honestly. :lol

[LBJDW305]

Lol...let's see Kobe win now that he has lebrons second option....As his 4th :yaohappy:

Odom just posted the picture of him getting drafted by the Clippers on Facebook. His camp is totally working it.

Mo is better than Sessions... a lot better

[Droid101]

I don't get the hate here... Mo Williams is a passable point guard who shoots lights-out from 3. Exactly what the Lakers have needed for what, 15 years now? He's not the best player ever, but he's still good.

[R.I.P.]

I think the Clippers/Lakers are probably not holding up this deal. The Mavs probably hope to get more out of this than hot air, but the Clippers/Lakers have no picks this year.

Mo Williams
Kobe Bryant
Andre Iguodala
Ryan Anderson
Dwight Howard

Wouldn't be bad at all.

The Los Angeles Clippers have engaged in trade discussions to bring Lamar Odom back to the L.A. team that drafted him, according to sources close to the situation.

Yet the deal, sources said, could hinge on the willingness of a third team to take on the contract of Clippers veteran guard Mo Williams, which would allow the Dallas Mavericks to send Odom to the Clippers with no significant money coming back to the Mavericks.



Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that one team to express interest in Williams is the Los Angeles Lakers, who still have a trade exception big enough to absorb Williams' contract that they created when they dealt Odom to Dallas.
http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/...lks-lamar-odom

Would be a great deal.

In the meantime it looks like the trade is getting close as Odom just updated his "Official" Facebook page a few hours ago to show the day he became a Clipper.

Exactly. Mo's a HUGE upgrade over that comedy show the Lakers have been calling their point guard rotation for the past few years. I mean, when your best point guard during the playoffs is fvcking Steve Blake, you know you need help.

[D-Rose]

This would be excellent for the Lakers, but kind of funny that they'll be doing a deal with Odom again.

I know I've been on-record as saying that Bynum's enough, but Dwight's a hell of a lot more consistent than Bynum, and yes, a better player. He'd improve the Lakers, but it's pointless to pursue a player that has no interest in staying with your team.

I get that, but that doesn't change the fact that a sizable chunk of the Lakers fan base were spouting off as if Dwight and CP3 were already in the bag. The arrogance was through the roof, even for Lakers fan standards.

Then, when the whole thing fell apart and the dust settled, they acted like they weren't even that into the idea anyway. Literally within days. It was a truly mystifying display of backpedaling.

[DFish]

They were. Right in the bag. Stern took them out of the bag. You don't understand how solid those trades were, or how reputable my sources always are. The Chris Paul trade was a coon's hair away from completion, and the Dwight Howard trade was so incredibly certain to follow. There's no guess work there. It was happening. Stern bulldozed both; one directly, the other indirectly.

Can't get both. With Mo Williams that forces you further over cap and you lose full MLE if I recall. No way Sessions takes paycut when he opted out to get bigger deal in first place.

They have Bird Rights on Sessions.
Using the TPE on Williams has no effect on anything other than they add another player to the already bloated payroll

It's seems only the Lakers have trouble containing elite point guards. At least that's the feeling I get reading the Lakers forum and the Kobestans.

CP3, Rose, Parker, Nash are actually average players until they play the Lakers. Then they explode for one game and their teams sign them to max contracts.

[ZenMaster]

Everybody has trouble guarding the 1 spot, lot's of good offensive players at that position. If they'll provide solid offense we'll be alright.

Mo would provide some nice shooting and Sessions can get everybody on the bench going with his playmaking abilities just like he did when he first came last season, it's still one of the most stupid lineup changes going from Blake to Sessions in the Lakers starting 5 last year.

If the Lakers truly want Odom back they don't do this trade, and convince him to later sign with them.

If they don't care for Odom, don't just take Mo that easily, make the Clippers take back Blake and give us Gomes + Cash and a future second round pick. Otherwise, no deal. Never help a division rival.

As usual Lakers fans feel they have the leverage in every trade, no matter how delusional it sounds. You realize the Lakers aren't doing the Clippers a single favor right? We are offering you a starting PG for free. Sure he's not cheap but the Lakers aren't GIVING the Clippers anything.

Lamar Odom, when motivated, is easily a better player than Mo Williams, when motivated.

Why would the Lakers hand him to the Clippers and at the same time, up their payroll by 8 million (double that for luxury tax), when they're trying to shed salary for the new CBA? The only way they do it is if they can shed Blake's extra 4 mill due in 2 seasons, get some cash back to help pay for Mo William's 8 mill (16 with luxury tax) and a 2nd round pick just because I think Sterling is dumb enough to do throw it in.

Now, do you guys want Odom that badly?

Last I checked there are 13 teams under cap. Plenty of teams where Mo would be an upgrade to the guard rotation and even start for multiple teams. Lakers are the talked about trade partner because THEY contacted the Clippers for Mo, not the other way around. Clippers can just as easily turn around and trade him to another team.

In otherwords.. the Clippers don't NEED the the Lakers in this trade.. the Lakers just happen to want Mo.

It was only myself, IAMSTILLILL, and someone else who kept calling that moron out on this horseshit.

After the Paul trade was vetoed, he came on here and made a thread about how CP3 was going to pursue legal action and all that shit, saying that "this is JUST what my sources have released to me", even though some beat writers on twitter suggested the same thing moments after the veto was official.

Point in case: that dumbass hasn't shown his face here ever since Paul came to the Clippers. He was wrong, I piss on his grave, etc.

Why would the Clippers give up Mo Williams to a rival to shore up their weakest position when they can keep Mo and use him in another trade OR he opts out combined with waiting for Dallas to buy out Lamar so Clips can sign him in FA?

I think Odom is more of a last resort for the Lakers right now. Other names like Beasley, Perry, Quincy Miler, Josh Smith have been floating around...

I haven't heard of any teams interested in Mo aside from the Lakers (and I don't want him tbh).

Mo Williams isn't opting out of his 8 million player option this year. That's the most he's gonna get from any team, he's not dumb.

[Story Up]

Uhm, hell yes! This would be awesome for LA. I would then only trade Gasol for Wiz offer. Then draft Barnes, and if Minnesota wants Hill for Beasley then do it.

Bynum, Blatches, Barnes, Bryant & Mo

Bynum/Blatche
Blatche/Artest
Barnes/Beasley/Ariza/Matt Barnes
Bryant/Goudelock
Mo/Blake

The bench is a lot better with Beasley, Artest, and Ariza leading the charge. Great prospect in Barnes at SF, finally another reliable shooter in Mo and still potential from Blatche.

We can essentially get Mo, Beasley, Ariza, Blatche and 3rd pick for Gasol, TPE and Hill.

Or get Nash to come to LA and that's it.

This is a strong, athletic and youthful group with a ton of offensive prowess.

Once Deron chooses where he goes, I'm sure some of the teams chasing for him will deal a tpe and a 2nd to get Mo, since Mo is a good stop gap that is expiring. He also has shown his veteran leadership with the Clippers as he was the main guy scheduling work outs during the lock out.

Its not like the guy has a bad contract or is a bad player. Hell, I can see the Rockets possibly contacting the Clippers for Mo if they include Lowry in a deal for Dwight as well.
