Odom wants with Miami?

by **Vins15** on Fri Aug 08, 2003 8:10 pm

Odom does not have pg abilities...he's a SF that likes to score and go into the lane..he'll never make a good PG...and he doesn't have good handles..gets stolen by small pg like Snow, Ford easily not a good ball protecter and doesn't know how runs plays fluently...does that clear u up y Odom shouldn't play PG?... :roll:

Odom does have PG abilities. His passing skills are amazing, he has the awareness and the quickness. Just because he's 6-10, doesn't mean he can't play the point. PG would probably be his natural position, But since clipps had Dre miller, he was needed at SF.

I didn't know Odom felt that way about the clips. :shock:

He should get right outta there.

This will really be the problem if Odom goes to the Heat, they got Jones and C-Butler, i think someone has to be dealt, someone.

The Heat just signed John Wallace and Loren Woods so I guess that could help a little at the Center spot.

You really think Odom would be capable to play the PG spot? I don't think he would be able to but that is just me saying... But if he does he will be the biggest point guard in history, since Magic Johnson is right now right with being 6'9" and all. So with Lamar Odom being 6'10" he could be the biggest point guard but... we will have to see...

Let's address this somewhat like someone I dearly miss...

Clippers Matching Offer
Baylor says he's doing it. Odom says he's not playing for anyone but Riley.

Butler Coming Off The Bench
If anything, I'd bring Odom off the bench because of his ability to play all five positions.

Butler At SG
He can play SF/SG/PG well enough.

Benching Jones
Personally, I think that's more likely than benching Butler and Wade. Riley wants rid of Jones in the worst way.

PG
Wade is all but cemented as the starting point guard.

Eddie House
Has signed with the Clippers.

Travis Best
Never signed with Boston. Another ESPN.com lie. He's currently in limbo.

Brian Grant
Grant actually plays better at the center position than he does at Power Forward. For some reason however, his post offense has vanished.

Lamar Odom at C/PF/PG
He can play the point, he's done it many a time in Los Angeles. He won't necessarily guard the point guard, or be guarded by the point guard, but he can handle point guard duties very well.

He can also play PF, especially since PF is not such a power position anymore. You wouldn't want to throw him at Duncan of course, but that's why you have Samaki Walker and Malik Allen (who everyone seems to leave out of their starting lineup predictions for reasons unknown) just because Odom is slotted at PF on the depth chart doesn't mean he's required to play there and defend that position every minute of every game.

More Brian Grant...from Colin...
Grant backed up at Center for Portland after his first season at the SF (well...he and Sheed tag-teamed the two Forward slots...Grant did the same in Sacramento with Michael Smith), then he switched to PF because of Zo, then Zo got hurt and he assumed Center for good.

Vins 15 talking about Eric Snow
Snow is a big point guard, which is why he can defend the SG. He's also the best defensive guard in the league, so if he steals the ball from Odom, I wouldn't see it as out of the ordinary. If they were playing the Sixers (there would be extreme matchup problems) but Glenn Robinson would likely be guarding Odom, even if Odom was running the point. As for Odom, he is more than qualified to run the point.

Signing of John Wallace and Loren Woods helping at Center
John Wallace is 6-8, and hates contact. He also sends red flags to Carmelo Anthony as another Syracuse Forward who hasn't lived up to his college play (if anyone can remind me of a Syracuse player who has lived up...please do...all I can think of is Coleman and Wallace)

Loren Woods? Read my signature and that should explain that...

loren woods could be alright with minutes

maybe they could package eddie jones and their 1st round pick or something for kmart since kmart seems to want out. it'd work salary-wise i think if kmart agreed to a nj contract and then was traded, i'm not sure but i think eddie's contract is pretty hefty which is what kmart wants, and kmart reminds me somewhat of elton brand of whom miami lusted.:

brian grant
kenyon martin
lamar odom
caron butler
dwayne wade

strange........ odom at sf would be taller than his pf and c :twisted:

but kmart and bgrant are POWERFUL. duncan would destroy them though.

hmmmm, on second thought, duncan destroys anyone so forget that

Billy Owens, & in case you meant players of any position, Sherman Douglas & Rony Seikaly.

Let's hope Etan Thomas starts developing his game (he's good). After all there are some waiting for Kwame Brown, so expecting Thomas to start developing & getting better wouldn't be that stupid.

not rili the Nets need help at the Shooting guard spot..Kittles isn't always consistent with his game...

by **Scary Hedo** on Tue Aug 12, 2003 12:44 am

Odom expected to sign Heat's offer today

by **Vins15** on Tue Aug 12, 2003 2:31 pm

i heard that Odom is going to meet Baylor in person hopefully for the last time...and beg him to not resign him..he rili wants to Miami

by **TamuraBR** on Tue Aug 12, 2003 4:40 pm

Odom hopes Clippers won't match offer.

Odom Signs Offer Sheet
"Today, we have received an offer sheet from Lamar Odom," commented Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor on Monday evening. "We will evaluate this offer during the 15-day period, before announcing our decision."

but who will be the starting PF then???

by **Owen** on Tue Aug 12, 2003 9:48 pm

i think kidd will convince k-mart to resign with nets, and odom will do pf or he can run the point at miami. but maybe clipper will sign odom and trade him..... :roll:

they could start the Gerogetown duo Mutombo and Mourning

so

C-Mutombo
PF-Zo
SF-Jefferson
SG-Kittles
PG-Kidd...

Odom is a freaking traitor, after all the crap the Clippers put up with him! The guy is showing no loyalty.

by **Full Surface** on Wed Aug 13, 2003 11:35 pm

The Clippers shouldn't be stupid about this. Odom is restricted free agent. They could easily match the offer. Why exactly would they let him go for nothing? If the Heat want Odom so bad, then the Clippers should re-sign his ass and trade him off for someone like Caron Butler or Eddie Jones. Don't let the guy go for absolutely nothing. (N)

by **air gordon** on Thu Aug 14, 2003 7:09 am

miami sure is showing a lot of guts for offering a contract of that length to odom. i don't blame sterling if he doesn't match that contract. odom is prolly the most talented and all around player who's 6'10 but he sure has a lot of baggage and hasn't played a full season yet

I really agree but if they did a sign and trade deal, Odom is worth more than Jones or Bulter, maybe one of them and another not as good player but not for just one, well that's what i think anyway

Odom wants with Miami?
