pf Lamar Odom
Hornets 2013 1st round draft pick (Top 3 protected)
WHY?
Hornets:
Get 2 PGs -- one young star, another veteran bench player -- that solidifies the PG position. A starting SF who can shoot on kick-outs from Bledsoe and Gordan and defend. And a young, expiring center. They would have to convince Budinger to extend. This makes our direction in the off season obvious - we look for a center.
Bledsoe / Ridnour / Roberts
Gordon / Rivers
Budinger / Miller / Thomas
Davis / Anderson
Smith / Hollins
Clippers:
They replace there young bench PG with another, and add scary depth to the front-court with Williams and Lopez which is all that is missing currently from their roster .
Paul / Vasquez
Green / Crawford / Billups
Butler / Barnes / Hill
Griffin / Williams / Thompkins
Jordan / Lopez
Wolves:
With Rubio's return, they have little hesitation in shedding their 3rd PG. Same with Budinger now that Kierelenko is playing so well. And Derrick Williams has done little for them that Odom couldn't do better. All their new pieces are expiring. They also gain a potential lottery selection.
Rubio / Barrea
Sved / Lee / Henry
Kerelenko / Aminu / Howard
Love / Odom / Cunningham
Pekovic / Seisma
