Not quite an all star.

Not quite an all star...

But I'd take him over this guy...

You could argue he was better than both Davis brothers, Wally, Jamal Magloire, Anthony Mason, Brad Miller, Vlade(at least the one who was an all star) Josh Howard, Okur, Mo Williams, NVE, Devin Harris, West and Hibbert, Kaman, David Lee. That’s 16. You could at least talk about either way. You could add quite a few more. Jeff Teague and Lamar Odom aren’t on entirely different tiers. Same for Odom and Paul Millsap. Hell Odom was better at basketball than Kyle Korver.

If I really sat down with the list, I’m betting Odom is on the level of at least 20 All-Stars since 2000 or so. You could take Kenyon over Odom but it’s not a dumb question. Neither is Odom or Deandre Jordan. I’d take prime Odom over Drummond even with his 16 rebounds.

i’m not putting him over all of the players I mentioned, but you wouldn’t have to be an idiot to take him over any of them.

[QUOTE=Kblaze8855;14955427]Iggy led a 57 win team the season before he was a Warrior. How much do you think he lost in 3 months?

Ron was the second leading scorer on a 50 win team that took the 09 lakers to 7 right before he became a laker. Ron’s clippers weren’t shit but he was still productive.

Those guys did give up a good bit of responsibility to go be other guys.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I will give you Artest and Iguodala but saying Iggy lead a 57 win team is kind of dishonest considering their depth but how about the slowed down by injuries Bulls Ron Harper?

Battier is worse than those guys so what tier of players does he fall into? Would you rather have the version of Rick Fox that was winning with the Lakers?

Magloire, Kaman, Kyle Korver. Okur maybe. Wasn't better than say David West, one of the most underrated bigs of his era.
Lamar wasn't that special to me IMO, wasn't he the main guy on the Clippers with Richardson and Darius Miles lol.
Not even sure if Ricky Davis over Lamar is a wrong answer

Nice catch on David West even though I really liked Odom which I thought was an Mvp level talent back then and was so much fun to watch.

There isn’ta single player there people would find weird to compare to Lamar. The best of those players and Lamar are pretty similar level wise. You don’t trade West for prime Odom and feel like your team is ruined.

These are all high end good players. Not great ones.
