Yea that is true..We didnt go after Arenas because we wanted Odom back so bad..But we didnt even match Odom..That is just messed up..

Could have been another Andre (a big fish in a small pond).

With Odom gone, does anyone want Miles back more than ever?
I'm thinking Wilcox and Dooling will get it done

I thought the Clips were gonna sign him, but I guess not. I hope Odom thrives in Miami under Riley cus he is one heck of a talent.

Oh brother. As i stated 100 times i let logic and facts dictate what i feel will happen. Still nothing changed to make me think otherwise. Clippers until that day they said no, said they had the intentions of signing odom; odom never said anything to prove that he really wanted to go to miami, nothing changed. Granted, behind the scenes as it turns out, there was a lot going on that we never found out about, but thats the whole point, we didnt know about the clippers intentions changing until they announced it.

As i mentioned before, if he stayed it would have been a good thing because i like him as a player, but if he left, theres nothing that BAD about it. Sure we lose a popular player, but there are always two sides. The plus sides of him leaving is saving money for a FA next year, allowing maggette to blossom more as a player, and saving money this year.

But whoever said now we can sign miles to a contact next year, that is a great idea. i didnt even remember that he was going to be a RFA next year. Clippers can offer him a huge contract that cleveland probably will not match since theyre logjammed at that position.

please tell me who ur saving money for?

personally, i think having odom on the roster instead of trying to lure garnett with a 1% chance is a much better deal. that also applies to mcgrady and kobe as well.

but the only reason i think baylor and sterling did a good job is in that they'd have to gamble on odom's attitude if they did match and then they's have lost Q for SURE next free agency, no way is Q comin off the bench again or would nsterling fork a forth big contract on a team.

i think it worked for the best. odom revives the heat. definately brings fans, Q has a chance to prove himself and probably create a winning chemistry alongside maggette and brand.

ps i still cant believe how u guys were losing last season with miller maggette odom brand and olowokandi... thats almost a perfect lineup!

we sucked last season because of are coaching..Are team was perfect it just that we need a good coach..which we didnt have..

I thought the front office was doing the right things by matching Brand and Magette, and getting rid of Kandi. But, then they turned back into the old Clippers, and they let Piakowski, Miller and Odom go...


Pike deserved a chance to play for a good team, and Sterling has paid him. Miller wasn't a good fit. as for as Odom is concerned, Riley is gonna regret paying so, much. Watch and see. It's easy to talk smack when it ain't YOUR money being spent. If I was an owner, I wouldn't have matched either. Odom is always hurt, can't control his marijuana use, and there's no guarantee, he'll ever live up to his potential.
