Obviously he is the prototypical nellie forward but I just don’t see Odom puttng forth the effort day in and day out. Plus like someone already said if the Fake show wins he is gonna re-sign with em, probably not for the money he wants but he will re-sign.

I love Manu but he has a lot of miles on his body and don’t think it would be the best thing to pay for a guy who is gonna break down in 2 years or so. Plus I think manu is more effective because a team has to deal with parker and duncan constantly which leaves manu in alot of one on one situations. Whereas here, I am not quite sure how he would fit into a nellie system. Maybe i’m wrong but I don’t think it would be the best move to make. Plus where are we going to get the money from to sign someone like him?

Perry your not as bad as I originally thought, although I still think you might be Fitz in disguise…lol..I will withhold judgement though until I come across some hard evidence…lol

You’re absolutely right, “MRFJG_SON”,………..the black-listing, subsequent firing of Chris Mullin and the way they dragged that whole fiasco out…… was probably one of the most low class moves in their franchise history.

Why not jump in on the Ginobilli sweepstakes?…..One of the best offensive and most competitive players in the league…..if you don’t believe me……just ask Kobe Bryant.

Manu is well-respected by Kobe Bryant. Bryant calls him “One of the most competitive players he’s played against.”………..Damon Stoudemire confirmed that Manu was one of the most competitive players in the league during his stint with San Antonio.

We all know what this Argentinian can do…….he would be absolutely fantastic for this team……

If we don’ get him, maybe we can jump in on a 3 way deal with Washington, San Antonio and us, ending up with Antawn, worst case scenario.

Phil uses players how he wants to use players…..similar to Nelson in that regard and only that regard.

Radmanovic, for example, ……we all know that Vladimir was primarily a stand still 3 point shooter….but we also know that he can run the floor pretty well and can get to the basket if he wants too…….

Phil used him in spot situations where he needed another perimeter shooter……….when he was hot…it was great…..when he was cold…..Phil verbally abused him.

Similar relationship that Nelson had with Al Harrington. Nelson wanted Harrington to be a stand still 3 point shooter, that’s it. ….but that suffocated his game and it caused dissention between the 2. Then, he goes to New York and averages 25 ppg for the rest of the season.

If Phil Jackson wants you to play 17 minutes a game…….you play 17 minutes a game.

If Phil Jackson wants you to stand at the 3 point line and shoot open shots…….you stand at the 3 point line and shoot open shots.

If Phil Jackson wants you to defer to # 24 down the stretch……you defer to # 24 down the stretch.

I think Lamar can handle being the # 1 option on an average to good team…………..I think he can average 21 ppg + if he is the # 1 option on a decent team.

Imagine Lamar Odom, Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis……….I think that would give us as much offensive fire power as the Denver Nuggets, but without the good coaching, decent defense and real “go to” option (Carmello Anthony).

Both can handle the ball, I even think Lamar is a little bit better in handling than Anthony…….not much that Anthony has that Lamar does not.

Not saying we should pick him up, but I like Lamar’s game a little more…….Anthony is more of an “above the rim” player obviouslly at this point in his career.

But don’t forget, Lamar Odom of the L.A. Clippers and the Miami Heat as the # 1 offensive option, …. was a 22+ppg scorer and an All-Star……I don’t if Anthony is there yet!

hey if you talk to fitz everyone wants a guy who gets you 20 off the bench but it is funny how he never brings up the injury issue w/ maggs but he is always willing to bring it up with not re-signing Baron.
