Clippers and Lakers want Lamar Odom.

[Scholz]

The Los Angeles Clippers are interested in re-signing Lamar Odom to the team. The Lakers also are interested in Odom.

Which LA team would you rather see Odom on?

[Sauru]

i would love to see him help the lakers win a few more games

Given his performance the last couple of years, I'm not sure he's guaranteed to have a positive impact on either team. I guess the Clippers are in better position to be a significant team in the West, so for the sake of their depth I suppose it'd be nice to see him remain there, but again it remains to be seen if he can actually make much of a contribution.

He's was one of my favourite players before he left the Lakers and I'd like to see a reunion now.
This could make tanking a lot easier...

I agree. I don't see him making any significant impact or getting back to his full capabilities without significant and consistent minutes.

That Kardashian whore sucked the talent out of the candy man. It's like those aliens from Space Jam.

[Andrew]

That may be one of the more flattering comparisons someone has made as far as the Kardashians are concerned.

[Jackal]

They do have the same chin going on..

I think the Lakers are mostly trying to see what they can do to save the season. The value of bringing back Odom I think is mostly because of nostalgia, and nothing much else. After signing Wesly Johnson and Nick Young, I think the Lakers is mostly trying to audition talent for the future. I am sure if Johnson and Young do well this season, they are looking (not neccesarily in LA) for bigger contracts after. In that regard, I think the Lakers should take a look at Austin Daye as a project instead of taking Odom.

According to @AlexKennedyNBA:

"The Los Angeles Lakers have expressed interest in free agent Austin Daye, according to sources. Daye worked out for the Lakers today."


No surprise there, another player that the Lakers might want to look at is Tyrus Thomas. Thomas never lived up to his potential, but with the tremendous athleticism he poseses, he could potentially do well under pringles.

same with Farmar.

Daye would be a good pickup. he'd be a decent replacement for Clark. Plus, he's from So Cal, so I'm sure he'd like to come home

I'd like to see Daye in a Lakers jersey but couldn't agree with signing Thomas for any other reasons but tanking.

I see the So Cal connection there. But I am not sure it was strong enough. It also seems like the Lakers have moved on and signed some other players. Daye was supposed to be Tayshaun Prince 2.0, but never quite put on the bulk needed in the NBA. I still think he is a nice project for a team trying to build for the future.

Farmer has been one of the elite playmakers in the Euroleague for Istanbul. Not a really good defender, but a decent scorer/playmaker and very good shooter. I'm pretty sure you will see him playing better than he did when he won the Championship with LA.

I hope the Clippers sign him, then start him at the 3. That way Dudley can be a weapon off the bench.
