Lamar Odom: 'If Lakers trade LeBron James they'll be right back into contention'
Los Angeles is struggling to start the 2022-23 season, going 3-10 through its first 13 games. However, Odom believes the massive haul the team could get for James would spring it back into contention in the Western Conference. “If you did — probably going to put yourself right back into contention,” Odom said of trading James. “You can get half a team. You’re going to get half a team.”

Ham said a key part of the plan was to have AD carry the starters, esp. w/LeBron out. He wanted a lot of interior touches. “I told him, ‘Don’t settle.’ He’s been a monster, and he carried us tonight.”
They spoke at length after the loss on Friday, and AD said he had Ham’s back. – 12:32 AM

Perfect way to go into this mini break for the Lakers: Win at home, solid all-around performance from AD, and some much-needed time for LeBron, T. Bryant and Schroder to get closer to returning.

Nets lose to a Lakers team that was 2-10 coming into the night — playing without LeBron. Now they’ve got a matchup with a Kings team playing much better on Tuesday and the Blazers on Thursday. Nets need to get healthy in a hurry. – 11:56 PM

Austin Reaves has really impressed these past two games without LeBron.
19 against Sac. 15 tonight. Great passing along with his standard strong defense. He’s becoming a valuable secondary ball-handler, and a Russ trade would give him more of an opportunity in that role. – 11:47 PM

Lamar Odom has been reunited with his beloved Lakers championship rings — the ex-NBA star says the man who bought the bling years ago made an incredible gesture and gifted them back to him. 42-year-old Odom famously pawned off the rings in 2016 to help pay medical bills after his near-fatal drug overdose at the Love Ranch brothel … and they were eventually sold at an auction in 2020. -via TMZ.com / November 1, 2022

Serge Ibaka then asked Giannis Antetokounmpo to pick his best starting fives from international players and the United States. International: Luka Doncic, Evan Fournier, Giannis, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid. USA: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo. “We beat them! Who’s gonna guard Embiid? Adebayo? Okay, that makes sense. Who’s gonna guard Jokic, and who’s gonna guard me?” Giannis talked about the outcome of the imaginary game. -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
