I was on the fence about this, but you make some good points...I think i'll move to 60% in favor now, dude is nice, when he wants to be.

um no
this missing pieces of the knicks championship puzzle are
1.consitantely playing defense on a championship level like miami, chi, okc, san an and boston. doing it for a month doesn't count and never will.
2.getting a better bench. the bench wasn't absolute trash but could have gotten better. i was personally disappointed in landry fields btw.
3. the melo and amare dynamic needs to be addressed, IF they wanna even talk about getting past the 1st round
4. miami's big 3 needs to be dismembered, and rose needs to stay injured, okc needs to stop improving, the clippers need to go back to not being important. duncan, parker and manu need to retire.
none of #4 will happen in the foreseeable future so no.
5. figure out the coaching situation
Last but not least, locking up jeffries for 5 years????? doing that alone should
cost grunwald his job.
the knicks have shiit load of problems and odom does not solve all of them

Ofcoarse. For the right price I'll take him because his skill set will easily fit right in, In more ways than one he'll be a great addition. I'm only a lil worried about the off the court influences taking away his focus. But I believe Woody will remedy that with little to no prob.

Odom is neither problematic nor controversial. Stop being a sheep to the media. Besides his stint with DAL, Odom has never been tagged as anything you mentioned. In fact, he's been a professional and great teammate who was able to fill multiple voids in LA.
Anything related to the Kardashians is problematic and controversial to me. Not saying that he can't play ball. He is good. All I'm saying he is gonna be problematic and controversial. And honestly, I don't wanna cheer with the Ks. :barf: But it's just me.

Lame or Dumb?
The Lamar-dashian would be a welcome addition. he's like Girafferies with offensive skills, like
Al Harrington. someone who can hit the 3, drive to the basket, and be a team player like he was on the Lakers.
last year was an abomination. he did not want to go to Dallas, his whole world collapsed
(not unlike STAT's world of death and disappointment), and his team treated him like a leper.
he was tagged an underachiever without heart by the entire Dallas org, and he couldn't get out from under that.
NY would be his town, where him and big Kim can f*ck and s*ck and shop and pop and get back
to his city nature. the mofro's from Queens, NYC! damn!
I support the pickup!!
:gony:
PS: just hope I don't end up calling him Lamar O' Doom!

I don't know. Guy sucks.
He's a bum.
Look, what he should have done last year is say "hey man, I can't ball because I'm an emotional train-wreck; donate my salary to charity"
But he didn't say that. He took his cool 8$million and he cried like a bitch at the end of the bench.
Guy would get his ass rocked in county, I can't imagine down state.
He's a bitch.
He got the biggest, ugliest Kardashian, too. That's a big bitch.
**** Odom, **** Khloe.
No thanks.

If we can get Odom with say Shawn marion and trade Amare, I would do it
or if Odom signs with us for the vet minimum, he will still get his guaranteed 2.5 mil so he basically getting the mini mid level if he signs with us as a FA.
We'll see but I would def go for him. We need passers and Lin is the only legit passer on this team so bringing Odom not only gives us a 2nd man to run the floor but a back up PF for Amare.

BALL DON'T LIE
I agree with the last statement. We don't have any creative passers on the team and Odom is one of the best interior passing big men in the league. He can help with our frontcourt spacing problem for sure.
I wouldn't trade Amar'e for Marion and Odom though. I'd rather wait and hope that he gets waived and trade Amar'e for Gasol straight up for a 7ft PF/C combination........... Or we can just keep Amar'e and develop what we have. Lol. So many possibilities.

Fundamentally Sound
Do I like the way he acted in Dallas? No, but the guy really did not want to play there. I'm pretty sure that trade put him away from his home and support network. I would be unhappy too. He should've been more professional and given it his all though, no question. He really is like Melo, in that if things aren't going his way he will pout and cry like a child who needsa nap. If he came here and was a malcontent it could really affect the chemistry of the team.
That said, Odom can help..
He's a facillitator, who can rebound and stretch the floor with his shooting. He could really help solidify our bench.
I would much MUCH rather watch him than JR.
