4 Team Deal: Odom to Clippers, Mo Williams to Utah

[Alpha Dog]

Lamar Odom will try to revitalize his career back where he started.

The Dallas Mavericks traded Odom to the Los Angeles Clippers in part of a four-team trade Friday.

The Clippers sent guard Mo Williams to the Utah Jazz. Utah will use the trade exception it created in the Mehmet Okur deal with New Jersey this past season to take on Williams' contract.

The Mavericks also will create their own trade exception worth $8.2 million by shedding Odom's contract without taking any salary back.


Dallas also received the draft rights to forward Tadija Dragicevic from Utah and cash considerations from the Houston Rockets. The Clippers sent the draft rights to second-round pick Furkan Aldemir to Houston.

All parties essentially had agreed to the deal Thursday, but it could not proceed until Williams made a firm decision on whether to pick up his option for next season, which he did Friday afternoon.

Good move by the Clips

for some reason I thought Lamar Odom was 35+ (hes only 32)

I have a bad feeling about Chris Pauls long term health with that knee though. They completely took out his meniscus...so im assuming hes going to need a microfracture here soon...I dont know of any other players that play without a meniscus?? (Brandon Roy had all 4 removed if im not mistaken)

Gonna have a mental breakdown when he sees all those banners up there and LA people shytting on him for being a clipper

Watch out for what exactly? Taking L's at the hands of OKC every year?

You pegged Blake as a possible MVP candidate last summer... fukk outta here with your Clipper bullshyt.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Always liked Lamar. Hopefully he can make the Olympic team

Good fukking riddance you overweight, unmotivated, fat chick thrilling, lazy fukk. I'll pop bottles tonight knowing the bytch known as Lamar Odom is off the Mavs roster.

Yeah, I'm still mad, I never wanted him in Dallas and his bullshyt was the perfect reflection of a lost year after winning a title.
