PostPosted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 4:51 pm    Post subject: Odom and Bynum - Mitch

I got to give Mitch major credit for getting rid of Odom and Bynum. Can you imagine if we still have these 2? Our season would already be over. Odom is playing like a complete scrub and looks done. Looks like the Kardashians finally got to him. And Bynum may not even play this year.

I think Mitch has his limitations - he's not very good at getting a lot of depth players but he knows when to move current players.

odom is the way he is because he is a mental midget. if he wasn't part of the cp3 trade, he would be just fine as a player for the lakers.

he was a crybaby about it and took it personally and basically stopped trying once the trade happened.

and bynum? nothing else needs to be said about that fool

you obviously have no clue what odom's had to endure not just in his life but at that specific time; outside of the trade.

pretty ignorant statement to simply call him a crybaby because of the trade.

It's like saying critt and arenas just had a debate in the locker room and everyone freaked out for no reason.

Yes. Great moves by Mitch. Would have been a B to haggle with Bynum over a contract extension.

Thousands of players have been traded in the past. Many more thousands are traded across the NHL, MLB, and NFL.

Were any of them as unprofessional as Odom?

He sulk to a new level and caused the Mavs to cut him mid way through the season. He went out of shape going into the Clippers camp which is in LA - his favorite town.

Odom was a ticking time bomb even for the Lakers. His reality TV show and his new found wife changed his priorities from basketball to media.

If someone is so emotionally devastated that they can't handle it, fine, but you DON'T GET TO TAKE HOME 9 MILLION DOLLARS then.

Someone who keeps taking the money is NOT someone who deserves sympathy. Let Odom retire if he's really been through so much.

Apparently he's well enough to show up and screw around and cash a paycheck.

He goes from 6th Man of the Year to a zero because his driver hit someone? Waaah, I can see him dabbing his tears with $100 bills.

He's turned into a lazy-ass golddigger just like his wife's useless family.

oh crap... cp3 trade.. oops... from the original post i thought we were talkin bout the dallas trade which actually moved LO and the drama around that.

yes i agree he was pretty petty about the cp3 deal... but dallas was somewhat different.

he was dealing with the death of a his friend, went to the FO to discuss his current state and was traded in reply.

I can't blame the FO, but can't hate on LO for reacting to that one either.

Dude you have no freakin clue about what youre talking about. I know folks very close to LO and this dude has had a very rough life. Getting traded was the straw that broke the camels back.

Almost every single NBA player came from rough lives. So what? It doesn't mean that he has to be completely unprofessional.

If he was actually professional, he would have accepted a buyout from the Mavs and retired. But nope. He wants the money from the rest of his contract despite not giving a damn.

Haters gonna keep hating.. These guys are no longer on the Lakers.. moving on...Acting like Lamar would be this way if he had not been traded, everyone knows the trade caused lamars mental break down. It was the last straw. As for Bynum, he prolly did NOT think he would be traded, that factored in the crap going on with him too..

All being saiid, i still like these guys for what they gave us, 2 rings!!!!

I know a lot of people who have had hard lifes and still go out and do their jobs -- because they have to to eat.

No question Lamar has been through a lot.

That said, if a guy wants to put himself up in front of the public as an entertainer (and that's what a pro basketball player is), he better do it well or he'll get ripped.

If I was a pal of Lamar's I'd be sympathetic to him. As a fan, if his personal problems make him unable to play well or commit himself to basketball, I don't want to see him on the court.

Pretty much marrying her was his downfall as a LAL as he became more obsessed with being star than player. If he handled the messed up trade like pau hed probably still be here but was a cry baby and got traded

Then he should have RETIRED for a year or two or however long it takes to get his head back on straight.

Getting paid 8 million dollars a year to sit on his ass and eat Twinkies and Skittles gets no sympathy. He told teams that he was ready to play and then didn't.

Remember his "apology" to Mark Cuban and Mavs fans before the beginning of this season? But then he shows up fat and STILL making no effort. If he was sincere he would be actually, you know, PUTTING IN EFFORT.

He should refund the money he took for making his teams WORSE.

The only good thing he's doing is tying up millions of Clipper payroll, which they will really wish they had available to spend on a player that would actually PLAY. He's making more than Blake Griffin!

Too bad, Clips!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders: "Never go in against a Kardashian when undeserved money is on the line"!

AHAHAHA! AHAHAHA! AHAHAH....

It's a shame how the Lakers front office treated Lamar Odom over the past years. Most disrespected player of all time and best forward in the game for 3 years.

Too bad he was so hated by Lakers fan that they never recognized how good he was

Laker fans recognized his potential. He was good but very inconsistent. He was so consistent at being inconsistent, that you could predict he would have a terrible game if he had a previously good game.

Lakers fans DID recognize how good he was. Too bad he's not playing to his potential.

How much would YOU pay him for last season's and this season's performances? Uh huh. Thought so.

"Most disrespected of all time"? Girlfriend please.

Mitch is outstanding at his job. The Laker fan base doesn't understand why we don't have all stars at all positions, and multiple 6th man of the year candidates on the bench.

It's pretty sad that some of you are defending LO. A guy that makes $8 million a year to play a "game", flies charter flights, has a personal chef, personal driver and a home that 99% of us will never own. I could care less what happened to him as a kid, he's an adult now and should act like it. You don't go through life dwelling on stuff that's happened in the past, and if you do it makes you a mental midget. LO should be ashamed of himself, he looks like a complete fool!!!!!
