Odom is a great player I agree. I love Lamar. But to say he can do whatever the team needs? How about, not getting suspended by the league for smoking pot....TWICE!!!! He is a great player, and if we didn't have Darius Miles I would love to keep Odom. This has nothing to do with Odom's drug problems. I just think that calling him a team leader who will do whatever it takes is a bit much. I know you hate stats, and they are not a good way to win an argument, but they can help to show someone what you are talking about. You say that Brand can't get more than 25 points a night, but his career high is 44 points. Ten more than that of Odoms 34. I think that Odom hasn't reached his full potential yet, and that he is a force on the court, but the Clippers have Darius who I think will one day be better than Odom. They need a point guard and I would jump at the opportunity to trade Odom for a good one. (Baron Davis or Andre Miller) When Brand talks the Clippers listen. Can you really say the same of Odom anymore?
