I have valuable information relating to Odom & the Rockets

I just hope this Odom info isn't some sick April Fool's Joke.

 

Thanks for clarifying, emoreland.

IMHO, I would offer the #1 plus filler (Mooch, Collier, and\or 2nd rnder\future #1) for Odom, especially if that #1 were top 3. Assuming Toronto makes the playoffs (fingers crossed), I wouldn't throw in that additional pick, nor offer KT, unless Maggette were included.

I would love to see Odom in a Rocks jersey, but not for both #1s and\or KT. The Rocks could have the ability to add 2 very talented, albeit young and inexperienced, players to their core. And I for one am more interested in them improving their overall talent level.

Odom is ceratinly worth the high lotto pick, but not both, especially in a draft as deep as this one.

 

This L.A. Times writer suggests that Odom is not going anywhere yet, that he will be kept on to play for a contract next year.

Also, from todays RealGM:

Odom, while extremely talented, is coming off a season where he has been hurt and has also had a lot of off-court troubles. For this reason the Clippers should not rush to move him, nor should they max him out either. They can afford to let Odom play next season without an extension in place, making him a restricted free agent and giving the team the opportunity to match any offer if necessary. If he stays clean and plays well he gets his loot, otherwise the Clippers can look into moving him.
