LO ain’t no magic johnson, but if he can put up the same stats as Magic I’m all for it. He can’t make flashy and no look passes all the time but 14 pts 8 assists 8 rebounds would be be satisfying for me.

If you find yourself comparing LO to Magic, in any capacity, then please say the following out loud:
“I am we Todd did. I am Sofa King we Todd did.”

LO playing the 1 won’t affect his rebounds. look at jason kidd. that man is 6′5 and averages almost 10 reb. a game. his game won’t be affected. i think if we get artest or the matrix having odom would be sweet. but there is also a big drawback. the small-quick point guards will scorch us (eg. paul,deron,b.diddy,etc.) but still it seems sweet.

i don’t think he’s gonna play shooting guard, he’s gonna play point guard along with fish…them both are gonna handle the ball just like how kobe sometimes handle the ball down the court along with fish

magic himself was never a consistent shooter too, he was a passer…that’s similar to lamar…he can still play small forward on defense while handling the ball on offense along with fish

i asked my laker friend “what do u think about artest coming to the lakers?” he said “not happening! because artest thinks he’s gods gift to basketball and he wants to be the number 1 option on the team he’s on.” with that being said, unless artest puts his ego aside, i dont think i see him in purple and gold anytime soon.

Your friend is wise. Listening to the interview posted here at LN, he made it clear that he wanted to be treated like a star. That would lead to major problems, and he’d bring in a funk until being traded, exactly like Marion did for the Suns. AND, he’s crystal clear about the money situation, so get the MLE out of your heads guys.

I also totally agree with Smush Walton. I think Lamar’s perimeter problems manifest at the 3 as well. So I say, forget Artest, and trade Lamar! If we trade Lamar for Prince or even RJ or Marion, you’ll see the Vegas odds of us winning the ship go WAY up. Bank on that.

This has to be a joke, right?

Lame-O’s outside shooting is HORRENDOUS. When he has the ball outside his defender just CAMPS in the paint! Not to mention the number of airballs and bricks Lame-O throws up.

Any more than two dribbles by Lame-O consistently leads to DISASTER! The defender knows to park on Lame-O’s left hand which leads to countless clutzy traveling violations, clumsy charge fouls, not to mention constant blown layups, dumb shots awkwardly flung up while falling to the ground after getting all tied up in a knot like a retard, point blank misses.

To make matters worse, how is Lame-O going to defend quicker guards? He is about as slow footed as they come. He’ll be left standing at the top of the key waving his arms around (in the goofy way he normally plays D) while the quick little guard he is “defending” is laying the ball into the hoop.

No thanks! I’ve seen enough of the Lame-O Clown Show!

Sorry, the only way I keep this half brain on the team is as a RESERVE and only after a HUGE pay cut!!!

I freakin concur man.

And Lamar Odom is best at the post.. most of the time he’s unstoppable when he drives it in or he posts people up with that long **** of his.. oh shi-

my first reaction to odom being guard was WTF? i agree with everyone else who thinks that odom should NOT be guard. he has the worse outside shooting! and i dont want artest because, even though he’s good, he’s got a pretty big ego and i dont want that on our team.
