Odom requested a trade after the CP3 stuff fell through, and the Lakers got a decent trade exception from Dallas that might help them land Dwight Howard in a trade..
Dwight isnt looking into LA that seriously. Nets are a much bigger target for him.
Lamar Odom is a 1 year deal for the Mavs, Team option for 2013. Mavs got a great deal for Odom who is playing great. This was a huge trade for them.
Agreed that Dwight isn't sold on LA, but that doesn't mean LA isn't sold on trying to get him.
I'm a Mavs fan, but the NBA looks more and more corrupt every day since the lockout ended.
Lamar Odom for peanuts, but NO Hornets can't ship Chris Paul to LA for a nice assortment of value?
They'll make NO get nothing when he walks.

that trade exception won't help them get Dwight Howard. It cannot be used as part of a package and it is only worth a little under 9 million - they won't be able to take back hedo.
Only way the Lakers get Dwight at this point is if they send them Bynum AND Gasol. As a Mavs fan, I hope they do this because it means that DWill will be a Mav very soon and the Lakers will not be nearly as good this year or next.
A nice assortment of value that would have strapped them long-term. They wouldn't have had a lot of cap space to do much for the next few years, and that devalues the team, which the league is trying to sell. So, while I agree with you that the deal should have gone through, I kind of see why the league nixed it.
Wasnt the NBA on the 2nd trade. Clippers didnt want to give the hornets what they asking for.
1st trade should have went through, no doubt.
From my understanding, it was the league the 2nd time too. Demps wanted to pull the trigger and the NBA owner/league office keeps rejecting.
This lockout with the phony basis of protecting the small markets keeps haunting the league in regard to New Orleans and they look hypocritical.
Mavs just added Delonte West to backup Jason Kidd. 1 year deal.
Not a bad team considering the cap space they will have next year. They are going to attempt some big time moves next year, question is will they land any big time players
Can you give us a link about Delonte? I believe you, I just want to get the details.
Interesting offseason for Donnie Nelson.
losing : Tyson, Caron, JJ
adding: Vince, Lamar, Branden Wright, Andy Rautins, and now Delonte
Delonte seems pretty unpredictable in his personal life but as long as he is a good teammate and works hard, cant argue with that signing.
Our backcourt is: Kidd, Terry, West, Roddy B., Rautins, Fernandez and Jones
Frontcourt: Dirk, Matrix, Odom, Wright, and Brewer
Center: Haywood and Mahinmi
Yeah, but we have to take one of the Kardashian sisters.
