While we still don’t really know what’s going on with Lamar Odom off the court, he’s sorta making some news on the court.
According to reports, both the Clippers and Lakers would be interested in the former Sixth Man of the Year if he considered a comeback. Or if he made a serious effort in cleaning himself (if the rumors are true) and getting back into NBA shape (assuming that he’s not in shape).
"Sources told ESPN.com that the Clippers and Lakers — who both registered interest in signing Odom this past summer until his private life became a near-daily subject for the tabloid media — will have renewed interest in the 33-year-old if he indeed makes a comeback this season.Odom recently began training again with an eye toward making a return to the floor during the second half of the season, sources have said."
I’m not really sure where the best fit for him would be, but I would assume with the Lakers — if he’s serious about actually getting some playing time. The Clippers are stacked as it is, so maybe the Lakers are a more serious suitor for the 34-year-old Odom.
