    Hey Rocket Fans,
    I was at a Clipper game a few weeks ago (vs. Cavaliers), and I got a chance to speak with Lamar Odom before the game. First of all, I am a huge Clipper fan and an even bigger Odom fan. I asked him about what he thought playing for the Clippers. He said it was a lot tougher than he though it would be. He was really really dissapointed with how the season turned out. He thought we would have made the play offs. Anyways, I asked him, does that mean if is not going to resign with the club. He said it dependsall depends. He said it on the money of course and more importantly whether or not the Clippers have improved. Well, based on the long and sad history of the Clippers, it doesn't look like we will improve any time soon. Until Sterling leaves. So I asked what happens if we weren't better by then, he told me that he would look to play for a team like the Rockets because of Cuttino Mobley or an east coast team like the Knicks. This conversation took no more than 20 seconds, I know it seems long but it wasn't. I was grateful just to meet the kid. I really hope we improve are team, or we might see Lamar Odom in a Rocket uniform in a few years. [​IMG]

    i guess Odom and Mobley are good friends since they both went to Rhode Island... it would be nice to see Odom playing for the Rockets... it was cool seeing those two going at it during the rookie game

    Odom and Mobley were in the same dorm in college and they always talked about being on the same team.

    I would love to get odom. I would trade anyone on the team except for francis to get him.

    Just because he wants to play with the Rockets doesn't mean it is going to happen. Odom is under a 1st round Rookie Contract that is not even close to expiring.

    Clipperfan,

    Are you sure that Odom didn't say he wanted to play for New Orleans? [​IMG]
