I did a search of this thread for ‘odom,’ and the only post it came back with was yours. So apparently not.

If he lasts to January 1st, I image he’ll be on the top of a lot of lists.

True, but the potential upside for Odom is a lot bigger, since he’s only 35. He’s at least on my ‘if I don’t know what to do with my 13th pick’ list.

He’s also a lot healthier (might last longer), richer (resources for top notch care) and connected to the Kardashians, which is a wildcard as far as pulling the plug; apparently Courtney still has spousal control of his medical decisions.
