Is Mo Pulling for Lamar?
Earlier today Mo Williams expressed his interest in Lakers forward, Lamar Odom, via Twitter. The Lakers recently pulled their $27 Million dollar offer from Odom, and it’s no secret that the Cavaliers are shopping around for a forward that can shoot the ball. The latest news from Cleveland is that the Cavs are currently looking into signing Rob Kurz, a free agent forward who spent last season with the Golden State Warriors.
It’s clear that Odom would be a great fit in Cleveland and could potentially be the new starter at PF. However, there is only one problem. Lamar Odom is a bit on the expensive side. Last year Odom earned $14 Million from the Lakers and will most likely be looking to sign for somewhere around that amount. Sadly, the Cavaliers only have about $4 Million left of the MLE. Although a deal is unlikely, the only way the Cavs would be able to bring Odom to Cleveland would be via sign and trade.
Rob Kurz?? Are they really? C’mon Ferry: Matt Barnes would be a much better player for the Cavs
