His change of heart about sixth-man role should energize a mostly ineffective reserve unit. His change of heart about sixth-man role should energize a mostly ineffective reserve unit.

His change of heart about sixth-man role should energize a mostly ineffective reserve unit. Lamar Odom wasn't entirely thrilled when he found out he was no longer a starter last year in training camp, saying Lakers Coach Phil Jackson was "out of his . . . mind" for making him come off the bench.

When Lamar Odom pondered why the Los Angeles Lakers have been able to avoid losing three straight games for nearly two years, he instinctively glanced across the room to Kobe Bryant's locker. "That's a big reason," Odom said with a grateful nod. Bryant scored 40 points for the 100th time in h...

By Andrew Ungvari If they (the Cavs) don’t accommodate him, he’s going to New York or Miami and they get nothing.

By Chris Manning The parallels between the two teams are eerily similar.

They have the same serene, rarely rattled coach who prides himself...

By Ramona Shelburne Every player wants to grow. Every player has goals,'' Ariza told the Chronicle. ``Every player wants to be the best player he can be. In L.A., they have so many great, great players. Kobe is the best player in the NBA, arguably ever. Pau Gasol. Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum is coming into his own.

By Andrew Ungvari I guess it wasn’t really that slow while I was off.  The Lakers and Lamar Odom finally came to an agreement that should see Odom finish his career as a Laker (or at least the remaining quality years of it). In fact, it hasn’t been a great summer for any of the players involved in that game who are no...

By Kam Pashai Later this afternoon, Lamar joined our partners at AM570 for an interview with Matt Money. Rather interesting conversation… Special thanks to David Vassegh for the Lamar Odom coverage. On behalf of Lakers fans everywhere, it’s good to have Lamar Odom back. Let the drive for five begin!

By Andrew Ungvari All Seems Quiet on the Free Agent Front Latest On Lamar Odom Richardson was first traded from the Knicks to the Grizzlies for Darko Milicic. Then the Grizzlies traded him to the Clippers for Zach Randolph. And now comes the deal to Minnesota.

By Andrew Ungvari The Blazers now have to decide if they want to use their available cap space either to go after Lamar Odom or New York Knicks free agent David Lee. While the Lakers have taken their two offers to Odom off the table, things are becoming more clear as to what the Lakers have to work with if Odom deci...

Let's review what appear to be Lamar Odom's contract options: Four years with the Lakers for $36 million versus five years somewhere else for $34 million. Even if he got a crummy contract after those four years with the Lakers, he would still be $2 million ahead and have worked one less year b...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) 1) Ariza proved that he could accept his limited role, while Artest has often tried to be his team's number one offensive option even when he had teammates who were better suited to do so. Clearly, Bryant should be the Lakers' number one offensive option and Pau Gasol should be the number two offensive option. Lamar Odom has flourished as the third option but the shot distribution dynamic will be interesting to watch in 2009-10; will Odom accept possibly dropping to the fourth option and will Artest be content as either the third or fourth option? This was not an issue with Ariza because he knew that he could not create shots, but Artest likes to have the ball in his hands even though his shot selection can be highly questionable at times. Ideall...   [read the full post]

By dberri It all began when the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol.  At the time Andrew Bynum was still hurt.  But I argued that once Bynum was healthy, the Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Bynum (as well as Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom), would be the favorites to win the NBA title.  That was my argument in the midst o...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Pau Gasol had 23 points on 9-11 field goal shooting but grabbed just three rebounds in 39:47. Trevor Ariza scored 13 points and had a team-high seven rebounds but shot just 5-13 from the field. Lamar Odom had just 11 points and two rebounds in 32:23, while Jordan Farmar chipped in 11 points in 15:56 off of the bench. Derek Fisher had solid numbers (nine points, two assists, no turnovers) but was burned repeatedly by Alston. If the Lakers truly are a deep team, nine-time champion Coach Phil Jackson apparently does not realize it because other than Odom and Farmar only three other reserves saw action and that trio combined to play fewer than 15 minutes--and listing Odom as a bench player is really just a matter of semantics because he plays starter...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) It was neither easy nor pretty but the Lakers displayed just enough grit, savvy and clutch play to defeat the Orlando Magic 101-96 in overtime to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 29 points and eight assists, adding four rebounds and two steals, but he also had seven turnovers in a game-high 48:30. Pau Gasol contributed 24 points and 10 rebounds; he scored seven of the Lakers' 13 overtime points, including a key three point play on a feed from Bryant to put the Lakers up 97-91 with 1:14 remaining. Lamar Odom made his presence felt with 19 points on 8-9 field goal shooting, eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Foul trouble limited starter Andrew Bynum to 16:24, so Odom played 45:43. Derek Fisher also did a solid job w...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Kobe Bryant: Pro: Con: Pro: Con: Pro: Con: In contrast, consider the two most common starting lineups for Bryant's L.A. Lakers in 2005-06: Bryant, Brian Cook, Chris Mihm, Lamar Odom and Smush Parker (14-11) and Bryant, Kwame Brown, Mihm, Odom and Parker (13-9). Parker started all 82 games that season but even though he is 27 now and should be in his prime he is not even in the league; Brown, Cook and Mihm are career journeymen, while Odom is a talented enigma who has not made the All-Star team even once. Bryant carried that ragtag group to a 45-37 record and the seventh seed in the West; they pushed the Phoenix Suns to seven games in the first round.   [read the full post]

Lamar Odom speaks with Spero and Mychal after the Lakers defeat the Bulls!

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) Some people seem to believe/hope that 2008 NBA MVP Kobe Bryant is a lion in winter but during the Lakers' 102-96 win in Houston on Wednesday night Bryant reaffirmed what he declared during last year's playoffs: "Better learn not to talk to me. You shake the tree, a leopard's gonna fall out." Bryant had six first half points on 3-6 field goal shooting but Ron Artest figuratively shook the tree in the second half by verbally and physically jousting with Bryant and Bryant responded with 31 second half points on 11-17 field goal shooting. Bryant's efficient scoring explosion carried the Lakers to an important road victory despite the absences of suspended forward Lamar Odom and injured center Andrew Bynum; Bryant also had a game-high six assi...   [read the full post]

Lamar Odom speaks with Spero and Mychal after the Lakers defeat the Timberwolves!

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) Lamar Odom produced season-highs in points (28) and rebounds (17) as the L.A. Lakers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-91. The Lakers finished their East Coast road trip with a 6-0 record and handed the Cavs their first home loss this season after a franchise-record 23 straight home wins. Kobe Bryant added 19 points, three rebounds and two assists but he was noticeably slowed by what John Black (Lakers Vice President of Public Relations) told me is "gastroenteritis," a stomach virus that caused Bryant to vomit and become dehydrated; the 2008 MVP needed IV fluids at halftime and after the game. Pau Gasol struggled a bit with his shot against the taller Zydrunas Ilgauskas (connecting on just 6 of 15 field goal attempts) but he contributed...   [read the full post]

By kambrothers Hey folks. Click here for our newest poddy for 710 ESPN, recorded Thursday afternoon.

By kambrothers Much talk these days among Lakers fans has centered around the slump currently endured by the heavily exalted Bench Mob.

Nash walks the ball upcourt and immediately feeds O'Neal in the post against Pau Gasol. O'Neal manages a single dribble before Lamar Odom arrives for the double-team. The length of Gasol and Odom, along with the Lakers' weak side zone, cuts off O'Neal from Phoenix's shooters. O'Neal is ulti...

By Elliott Teaford The Lakers didn't practice Saturday, so there's nothing new to report. There was quite a bit of reaction from Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Jordan Farmar after their first loss of the season Friday, however. Here's a copy of the... Jordan Farmar agreed that the Lakers' poor defense cost them.

By Nate Jones As well, the second unit for the Lakers is filled with talented cats that fit in with Lamar's skill set. Trevor Ariza, Jordan Farmar, and Sasha Vujacic all like to apply pressure on defense, and get out and push the ball on offense. Lamar will thrive playing next to those three.

By Matt Moore Unfortunately, based on the word coming out of Lakers camp via the OC Register's Kevin Ding, Bynum's a little behind schedule on that whole "next Kareem" thing. As in, he may not start. The wunderkind is apparently having issues messing with Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom has outworked him in trai...

By Andrew Ungvari 1) Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets 3) Lamar Odom, Los Angeles Lakers There were rumors of a trade between the Grizzlies and Knicks involving Milicic and Randolph, but they died—reportedly because the Grizzlies insisted on receiving a first-round pick as part of the deal.

By Tom Ziller No matter if Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, Luke Walton or Vlad Radmanovic start the small forward, Bynum combines with Pau Gasol to create one of the best rebounding lines in the NBA. All those problems competing on the glass against Boston? Gone, just because of Bynum's presence (and its bump...

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) NBA Finals The first meeting was a 107-94 home win for Boston on November 23, 2007. That was the 12th game of the season for the Lakers (7-5) and the 11th game for the Celtics (10-1). Andrew Bynum--who is course out of action now due to a knee injury--had just moved into the starting lineup for the Lakers and he finished with four points on 2-7 shooting plus nine rebounds. Lamar Odom also shot 2-7 from the field. The Lakers were still putting their rotation together, as Ronny Turiaf started while Luke Walton and Vladimir Radmanovic came off of the bench. Bryant had a slightly subpar game, 28 points on 9-21 shooting plus four rebounds and three assists. This was the third game in four nights for the Lakers, all on the road. The Celtics had been home since a...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman Bryant sat out the first 6:09 of the second quarter and Denver pushed the lead to as much as 38-21. TNT's Doug Collins talked about how Kwame Brown's injury has had a domino effect, moving Andrew Bynum (12 points, 13 rebounds) into the starting lineup and upsetting the chemistry of the bench. Collins has a point but would a truly good team be that dependent on the contributions of a career journeyman like Brown? The answer to that question is obviously, "No." Bynum is an improving player but he is still inconsistent. Take a good look at the Lakers' top six players other than Bryant in terms of minutes played per game: Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher, Andrew Bynum, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Vladimir Radmanovic. How many of those guys would be a top seven...   [read the full post]

By pwee31 Another rumor has the Lakers talking about sending Lamar Odom to Miami for Marion, hoping that Marion can teach the rest of the Lakers to play the kind of defense he did as a member of the Phoenix Suns.
