I don't think Odom is going anywhere.

What about Antoine and a pick for Odom, if the Clips would agree? 
Odom plays the three, Fortson the 4. I don't see the C's unloading 
him to an Eastern team, especially an arch-rival. But I'm still not 
sure I'd trade him. He's still a youngster. The word I find that best 
describes him is "confounding." Like the Chicago game. First period 
alone, he throws up a five-foot airball, a shot that hits the side of 
the backboard, and two shots that hit nothing but backboard. Like 
watching a discombobulated  11-year-old CYO player. Then he settles 
down and kicks butt the rest of the way.

I guess the relevant number here is $72 million. Do you pay someone 
that money who doesn't consistently produce? On the other hand, stats 
are almost always overrated, excepts for W's.
