Use Odom like a Rodman. Just rely on him for rebounds and defense.

Teach him how to get better on defense. How to keep eye on ball while guarding someone and how to hide his arms and hands so the shooter will be guessing where the block will come from.

His offense should just be a bonus instead of something that needs to be brought to the every game.

Gasol wants to return to Spain after winning a championship and finishing his current contract with the Lakers:

Ahora estás centrado en los Lakers y en lograr un anillo de campeón que es tu gran ilusión pero ¿qué necesitarías para plantearte tu vuelta a Europa?

Ganar un anillo sería fundamental, pero me gustaría cumplir los tres años de contrato que me quedan con los Lakers. Sería importante para mi carrera y entonces ya me plantearía cosas porque también me apetecería volver a Europa para conseguir campeonatos y victorias.

Bad news for our lakes.

@31, J.D. Hastings – Yea, that quote was kinda funny when you think about it, huh.
@33, marcos – I would like to see that line-up in action myself.

New post up, looking at the Hornets.

66. I think you are right, but he’s clearly trying to drive hits or create some controversy for little reason. Well, I guess his job is to drive hits, but I’d like to think there are better ways to do it.

Marbury to GS and we find out if Nelson really is the PG Whisperer.

64- I think if you read the whole thing they are addressing the daydreaming fans who might suggest such a thing. They make the case for Marbury then end the piece with every reason not to do it, ending with, “To take a flyer on Marbury would be a risk to team chemistry. Is it worth that risk?” I get the impression the author would say no.

Really Kurt? You don’t like bad columns like that one?

I love this site because Reed, in full on mocking mode, said maybe we should sign Marbury, while another site basically says why not do it? Why not? I think Kurt could write a dissertation on that very topic.

I swear, if I wanted to, I could just turn this blog into a daily Fire Joe Morgan style rant against stupid Laker media columns:

Reed,
I agree 100% on that Suns series. And when it comes to the league there are few guys that I don’t like, but D’Antoni is one of them. He just rubs me the wrong way. All the crossed arm, foot stomping reminds me of some small child in the grocery store whose mom won’t buy them that bag of Skittles. Plus he looks like one of those puppets from “Team America”.

@ 57 Is Marbury really a good fit at all for any team?

Anyway, I can’t see him being comfortable alongside Wade since they both dominate the ball and are limited outside shooters. Besides, Marion and Beasley are going to want their shots and Marbury isn’t going to suddenly become a facilitator after all these years.
