Dude is getting paid $8,200,000 (3rd highest paid on the roster) for exactly what? Seriously why did LAC FO even sign this guy let alone showering him with millions? :facepalm

Yes. He's averaging 2 points on 21% shooting :lol Probably one of the worst contracts in the NBA.

Lmao! Look at the bright side. More Bledsoe minutes by trading Mo, Odom will be 8 mill off the books after the season. Plus there is a 10 percent chance he starts balling. No doubt his lack of production is a bad thing though.

IMO, Odom is done. Dude has zero passion to play ball anymore.


Clips took a risk. If he returns to form at any point in time, then he'd be on valuable piece, but thus far early on, he looks like he just has completely lost it.

Odom spirit is still with Purple and Gold. He look lackadaisical every time he step on the court. I think the D'Antoni system can revived his career.

It was a necessary move to clear minutes for Bledsoe so it was more of a low risk, high reward type move. If Odom remains worthless at least Bledsoe can blow up and the overall depth should hold up but IF by some miracle he returned to form he could be the difference between 2nd round and championship.

I think it's clear though as you said that he's done. It would literally be a MIRACLE if he even became DECENT. Grant Hill luckily can guard most PF's in the league (has done well vs Blake Griffin who's one of the biggest and strongest) so he should get some PF minutes.

You definitely called it and I defended him. Not anymore though. Now I'm at the point where he would have to do something amazing for a sustained period of time for me to believe in him again.

The problem is Odom was never that good to begin with, at least on the Lakers he was more of a product of the triangle, he was never able to bring one good game to the other one, inconsistency at its finest.

Guy was severely overrated by kobe haters trying to dimminish kobes greatness during the 2008-2010 three consecutive Lakers Finals, similar thing happened with gasol, although he did produce more consistently at the time.

I'd say there is 0% chance Odom produces like he did in the past, which like I said, wasn't all that good either.

What's worse is last year Mavs thought they got shafted by his play but the Clippers are REALLY getting the business from Odom :rant . I started to doubt him on opening night when he was still a lard ass despite 2+ months to improve and get into shape after joining the Clippers.

the clippers aren't getting the business...their FO chalked up last season's pathetic effort to being homesick and stuff like that. you guys stepped in it this time.

11-25-2012, 05:56 PM
It's been a pretty crazy decline for him. Early in the year I read he couldn't even make it through a full practice. With the amount of money he has it's pretty ridiculous that h's that out of shape when he can afford a 24/7 chef and any thing he wants in terms of fitness trainers and gyms.

I think most analysts felt that returning to LA would boost him after some time off. Can't put it on the Clippers for taking a reasonable chance on him.

not the kind of veteran i want to bring in. dude was one of the worst players in the whole league when he was on the court last year. his game left him for good or he had a crappy attitude pouting to sabotage the mavs season. thats not reasonable

I watched him no more than 3 times in Dallas last year so can't pretend to know how well he played. Just saying you had all of ESPN, NBA TV and even TNT talking about how he would bounce back so it's not like it was just a few people saying it. Most thought LO back to LA= win. Dude is just 32 so not like people would think his career is flat out over.

Lamar just doesn't care anymore. Dude came in training camp fat, and out of shape. I honestly thought he would try to resurrect his career this season since he was back in LA.

it's a damn shame because he's extremely talented.

I do admit he quit in Dallas. I think he quit the minute the Lakers tried to trade him. It was the straw that broke the camel's back for him.

Yeah Odom was never really that great of a player. A few decent seasons and that's it.

He's been laughably overpaid over the last two years.

Dude is a fragile human being which is why he thrived on the Lakers due to Kobe and Phil's mental toughness.

I think he's depressed. Like, clinically.

[quote]on the Lakers he was more of a product of the triangle,[/uote]
He was the best player on rookie Wade's Heat team which made it to the second round and, IIRC, gave the Pacers a run for their money.

Odom's passing, ballhandling, rebounding, and finishing ability in the lane were all top notch. Despite his struggles now, I would not be surprised to see him completely rejuvenate his career and become one of the best players on a real egalitarian, spirited team, the way he was in Miami and the way Zach Randolph is right now.

They didn't sign him, they traded a superfluous asset (Williams) for him hoping he'd regain the versatility he displayed in his last stint in the City of Angels. He's an expiring contract on a team that wouldn't be enough under the cap anyways so the exact cap figure doesn't mean shit.

It was a high-reward low-risk move by the Clippers that at the time made perfect sense to everyone in the basketball world. It hasn't payed off yet but it could as the season progresses and he possibly gets his game legs under him.

Odom looks lost out there at times, he just doesn't play with the right intensity, it's obvious personal issues have impacted his performance on the court.

Clips took a risk. If he returns to form at any point in time, then he'd be on valuable piece, but thus far early on, he looks like he just has completely lost it.

Yeah, it was a low risk/high reward type of move but ended up being a low risk, no reward, unless he somehow changes his game fully around. I mean, imagine a Mo and Crawford back court chucking together :facepalm

He's of great value for the Lakers, he's on their payroll and acting as a mole to destroy opponents internally. Worked very well in Dallas. Will work again this year.

clippers didn't sign him. it was either another year of mo williams or taking the chance with odom. and they obviously made the right decision because clippers have enough problems finding guys minutes without williams. if he can get in shape he can easily be somewhat productive.

They main reason the front office wanted Mo gone at all costs was the develop Bledsoe and increase his trade value. Like Qrich said earlier imagine Crawford+Mo together chucking off the bench? That would be disastrous :oldlol: .

I disagree.

I think Clippers should have waited for the Mavericks to buy out Odom and then deal Mo for another piece, even if the piece was just a trade exception and a late first/early to mid 2nd.

But I do understand why the Clippers FO didn't wait for the buyout. They were probably hoping Odom would have a bounce back year and by doing the trade, they had his bird rights to sign him in the summer.
