Move Odom from initiator to...

The block. He is not getting it done. He siply doesn't have the ability to get it done that far from the basket. He's not quick enough to break people down. He's got no jumper, and his passing is overrated. Put him in the post and let hi earn some of that huge contract. The only other option is trade. Really, we would be better off with luke Walton when he comes back. He's not a better player, but I think he'd be a better fit. He's a smarter player than Odom, better vision, better passer, and you have to respect his open jumper(unlike Odom's). If Odom had a J, he'd be infinitely times better. But he doesn't. Really I would like to see him trading for another SF, a SF that can score, defende, and let another player initiate the offense. Odom simply doesn't have the nuts too be a great player. No nuts no glory.

Walton's J is just as bad as Odom's.

I'd rather move Odom to Minnesota.

Keep odom and put him on the block. move kwame, thats the lakers real problem. name one thing he has done well? you cant...lamar has played solid defense (over 2 steals per game) and has dished out a good amount of assists...more than any other laker

trade kwame

I'm not totally set on "demoting" Lamar from initiator yet. I'll give him 20 or so more games. But, I do agree that Lamar should be on the block depending on the match-ups. Recently, he had guys like John Salmons, Q Richardson, and Cuttino Mobley guarding him. He should have been on the block more against these guys.

I'd suggest moving Sasha to the PG spot in the starting line up and move Parker to a scoring role off the bench.

Get Odom off the ball and into spots on the floor where he can score. The only way he scores now are of 3's and drives to his left.

How about we scrap the initiator (bleep) and get a REAL POINT GUARD....

wow. wow. wow. wow. wow.

I just can't believe that.

Was there anything in his mind that would make think "i've been here before." or "I messed this up last time, don't want to mess it up again."

wow.

It kinda makes me believe he did it on purpose.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Why does Odom like to %@#! with LA fans? Is it because when he was at the Clippers he hated LA as soon as he left and still does even if it is the Lakers? I think so.

the far end of the bench is good....no water, no food.
