Odom had an amazing season last year, aside from the injuries. As everyone here who has made a comment should know, it takes TIME to get back into the flow of the game, especially with as much offseason time as he missed. At one point during last season, everyone was talking about LA as a possible 4th seed in the Western Conference I’m going to go out on a short limb here and say that none of you have ever played the game of basketball in your entire lives (with the exception of maybe a video game).

He is too inconsistent and it's clear we're going no where with him. Also he seems to be lacking in the basketball IQ department. While we're at it we should flush Kwame too. Trading Butler for this loser has to be one of the worst trades in Laker history. Time to pull the plug on Lamar. He is too inconsistent and it’s clear we’re going no where with him.

Are you serious??? Bynum changes a game much more than JO would even while being so young. Perhaps, you will be the last on the Bynum Boat, but will save a seat for you. If you don't want to get on, then we will throw a life vest to you right before the sharks get to you. Do the lakers need more experience players???, yes... but it doesn't need to be a drastic change by trading away talented and productive young players.

All he ever does is drive to the basket and throw it off the glass even though he's close enough that he can dunk it. He needs to stop playing lazy defense, shooting 3's, and learn a new move other than driving left. That guy gets at least 3 charges every game.
