No, Odom is not going to be gone for a year if he messes up again. Get your facts straight. It is not a mandatory year suspension. That is for harder drugs than marijuana. For every offense here on out, it's only a minimum 5 game suspension. The league gets to determine how long he is out, but it's not a year long suspension.
As for Miller - He's going to be better than Odom? I love Andre Miller. I would love to see him in a Clipper uni for the right price. But, he's not going to get any better. He is a fantastic player, and he's going to be at this current level for a long time coming cuz he is young, but he doesn't have the ability level to continue to get better. He's going to be pushing double digit assists for probably another 10 years and that is fine. That makes him one of the elite PG's in the league. But he isn't the type of player that is going to get drastically better as he improves. He's kind of like an Elton Brand. Excellent player, but doesn't have the physical skills to really take his production up anymore.
Odom is a different type of player than Miller, and I would take Odom right now over Miller. And Odom is the type of player that is going to get better with time. He has the ability to be one of the Top 5 players in the league when all is said and done. Does Andre Miller have that type of ability? Certainly not.
Odom's value is driven down a bit right now cuz of his suspension, BUT, it has not dropped low enough that you would have to include pick #8 to get Andre Miller. And I wouldn't even trade them straight up cuz once Odom gets back on the floor next year, he'll command WAY more than Andre Miller in return.
