Number two got the most heated.

I listened to the whole thing yesterday. Between the topics of shirts or no shirts, sounds of children crying and the lack of faith in the teams FO, It was definitely a good listen haha. But seriously I did enjoy it and thought you guys made some good points and had some interesting thoughts. I forgot who said it but someone brought up the idea that Tristan thompson is a Thad Young type of player, which I somewhat agree with except what Thad is on offense, Thompson is on defense. However, I do think Thompson has the ability to get better on offense and would not mind him at all.

The trade talks between the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers have traction for one simple reason: The exchange of Lamar Odom(notes) and Andre Iguodala(notes) could provide immense benefits to both teams.
The proposed deal – Iguodala for Odom and Luke Walton(notes) – would give the Lakers an elite wing defender for their championship chase. New head coach Mike Brown wants more athleticism in a younger player to pair with Kobe Bryant(notes) and Ron Artest(notes) to defend the likes of James, Dwyane Wade(notes) and Kevin Durant(notes).
One source involved in the talks said that Sixers coach Doug Collins "thinks Odom can play the [center] like [Mike] Krzyzewski had Odom doing in the world championships."
Nevertheless, no deal was imminent, and the advanced and complicated sales talks make it harder for Sixers president Rod Thorn to pull off such a major trade, sources said.
Don’t know if I like the idea of Odom being our center
really?
i’m kinda torn on the whole odom thing, but i think playing him at the 5 a lot of the time, and occasionally switching him to the 4 when you want to go big would be kinda sweet.
collins is right about his ability tho, he was destructive at worlds
