He's never been horrible, inconsistent maybe. But horrible? Get off that vendetta. Just how many guys in the league, regardless of size, can handle the rock, post up, shoot, pass, board, and D? For real, how many? If he was garbage, why didn't LA trade him to Washington instead of Caron Butler? Tough Juice is nice, but he's not seeing LO. You’re playing yourself dude.

We're not talking about Odom right?? Just because your 6'10 doesn't mean your a great player, and odom isn't, period. If he was 5 inches shorter people would say that he has NO potential and would be a bench warmer. But he's not, so he got lucky and people are enamored because he can do a LITTLE bit of everything, but nothing good. *He's been horrible on every team he's ever played on, including the lakers.

When he played with the Clips, he was doing things a 6-10 guy just isn't supposed to do. Once he started playing PF for Miami, the world started casting him as a different type of player. In the history of the NBA, there haven't been too many 6-10 dudes that can handle the rock, post up, shoot, pass, board, D and still be selfless with all that talent. As ridiculous as Derrick Coleman was, LO is smoother. If the Lakers had traded him for KG a couple years ago, he would be sh*tting on the league right now. He should go to the Knicks as a free agent and make people into believers again. FREE LAMAR ODOM!!!

Right or wrong a lot of blame was heaped on Odom for the loss last year. All the "soft" labeling was really directed at him and Gasol, so I think Lamar will surprise people for some stretches of this series and will be that determining factor that pushes LA over the top.

Think 5/$55 million or something silly. He's got a shitload of talent, that's for sure. How many guys coming off the bench actually have All-Star talent? Not too many.
