don't like it, but without Chandler, it might have been the best we could do

Could run.....
kidd,marion,odom,dirk,haywood
kidd,terry, marion, dirk, haywood
kidd, roddy, marion, dirk haywood
kidd, roddy, odom, dirk, haywood
kidd, roddy, marion, odom, dirk
kidd, carter*, marion, dirk, haywood

I dunno, Odom is a quality player, and it is only for one year.

I like this one. Odom has a team option next season so this is essentially an expiring contract. That's another trade asset. Odom can play backup 3 and 4 and grabs 9 rebounds per game. Mavs now have 2 of the last 3 6th Man winners.

Why did the lakers do this? Salary dump to make room for Howard?

Odom is a nice player that you can stick in multiple places. Nice pickup for free.

yep for not having to give anything up this year and still keeping money for whoever is available next yr, this team is def better with a player like odom.

i hate the vinsanity pickup. id rather the play time go to dojo to see if he can become another barrea

Carter is a team killer. The lakers did this for the 9MM trade exception. His name is jameer nelson.

Howard/nelson for bynum, walton, blake. If the magic require lakers to take turkeyglue, the lakers will throw in gasol.

Why would Orlando want Walton and his 2y/12mm left.

Is 2013 unguaranteed?

I guess Cuban won't be protesting this trade.

That's a good pickup for any team. Espcially for Mavericks, because Cuban's hands are pretty much tied.

Odom is versatile and good team player. Gimme a couple of those guys on every roster.

You just have to wonder about Odom's mentality. He's a great player. But loved LA. And even in LA he checked out from time to time. Maybe even a lot. Odumb.

Yeah, and Odom isn't the type that will have a chip on his shoulder and want to play better to shove it in LA's face...he's the kind of player who will eat a bag of gummy worms with Skittles sprinkled on top and pout about it.

I like the guy and think he's a great player, and I'm sure he will play well for the Mavericks. I just worry that he'll be in a funk for awhile b/c he seems like a pretty sensitive guy when it comes to these kinds of things. Not saying it's a bad thing, there's a lot to be said for a guy who cares that deeply for the organization he plays for and the relationships developed because of it.

He is about 1/8th as good as he could have been if he had any sort of motivation to be the best. He had ridiculous skills and was a physical freak.

I won't argue with you on that. He could have been much better, but some people just aren't wired that way; at least some of them end up being good despite not having the desire.

Fortunately for him, his physical abilities were enough to carry him despite not having that killer instinct.

Co-sign. He had to the skill set to be one of the ten best players in the NBA during the course of his career. His talent-to-motivation ratio was Rasheed Wallace-esque.

Great pick up for the Mavs.
