I think the Lakers could figure out a way to use Crawford. I can tell he likes shooting... That'll give Kobe some rest so that he won't get cold at the end of games like he did against the Heat.

For the Knicks, Odom could be more of a ballhandler while Marbury tries to score more.

Odom doesn't have a lowpost game; he routinely asks for the ball on the block but the first thing he does is turn and face the basket and try to take his less athletic defender off the dribble as if here were at the top of the key. basically he turns post plays into isos, except an iso on the block doesn't work bc it's much easier for help to come and to come in time; that's why, for every impressive driving dunk Odom makes there are a few ungainly hook shots that clank and miss; right now he's a MUCH better version of an Eddie Griffin or a TT, i.e., more realized but still not taking full advantage of his body and skill set. I guess all I'm really trying to say is that I wince watching him bc he could be SO great and is only very good.

Odom was good with Wade, maybe LA needs a more up-tempo open court style?

Considering Odom played In Miami and LA Drug suspension is a non issue

also that more then 40% of all athletes in all sports do drugs like weed anyway
