ESPN Insider...Clipps want J Wil... from Rox or Bulls perhaps From ESPN: Jun. 7 - While the Clippers continue to insist that they want to give the relationship another year to see if it works, the speculation is running rampant at the Chicago pre-draft camp that the Clippers may be willing to offer Odom and the No. 8 pick to whoever drafts Duke's Jay Williams. While the talk is interesting don't count on it happening. Bulls GM Jerry Krause isn't a big fan of Odom and the Rockets are still confident that Yao Ming is their guy. And despite the fact that they'll likely lose starting point guard Jeff McInnis this summer, the Euroleague's top point guard, Marko Jaric, will play for the Clippers next season.
I think Bulls and Clippers are bad trading partners ... the main thing both teams need is a PG ... If anyone trades Jay Williams to Clippers I expect it to be Huston but then again I expect them to pick Ming ...
Why do the Clips think Odom's value is so high? He had a disappointing year with a combo of injuries and drug abuse. He's still young and has the talent but come on. If they want to start talking Brand then we'll listen, but we're not going to give up the chance for a potentially dominate center to get a SF with questionmarks and the #8 pick.
