From what I've heard GS has no real advantage, they would just be an interested party in bringing him in. Like crandc said, one of the coaches is very tight with him, and Bob Myers (assistant GM) is a former agent who was very tight with a lot of players and is constantly trying to get them to GS. Word is the W's would have made a bid for Brandon Roy if he was amnestied, and he was behind getting J. Tyler and Bogut as well. I think GS also likes their odds of keeping him happy/sane because if neither LA team can bring him in then GSW is one of the next closest teams, and I think they trust Marc Jackson with managing delicate personalities. As a GS fan, its hard to say no to Odom since we've historically been deprived of talented bigs and good rebounders. Rumor is he'd start at SF but IMO hes too slow to be playing there for extended periods at this point. Couldn't argue with him backing up the 3/4, but we also really need more slashers at that position and preferably guys who defend well.
Why wouldn't he return to L.A.? Being away from his family and the Kardashian clan, wasn't this the root of his depression?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The frustration of losing has started to boil over for the NBA-worst Charlotte Bobcats. A Bobcats executive confirmed there was an altercation Sunday night in the team locker room between coach Paul Silas and forward Tyrus Thomas. The incident, first reported by Yahoo!, took place after Charlotte's 94-82 loss to the Boston Celtics. It was confirmed by President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins. According to the report, Silas took exception to Thomas for fraternizing with some Celtics players and yelled at him after the game. Shouting ensued and the 68-year-old Silas shoved Thomas toward his locker stall and the two were separated. Cho may know what he is doing, but what the Blazers are going through is paniful enough (Blazers are irrelevant to the NBA right now) . . . I can't imagine being a Bobcat fan. I would seriously consider finding another team to follow.
That expansion to Charlotte was a huge mistake. Cho's philosophy is to take a few steps back to take three steps forward. Only they've moonwalked off the face of the freaking earth. One of the worst teams in the history of the NBA.
Neither can Bobcat "fans" (wherever they are on some mystical plane next door to unicorns and the tooth fairy)
Move the Bobcats to Seattle, then the Kings to Vegas? One of those two teams has to end up in Seattle.
Here's a long article detailing the secret methods of the Suns trainers. The team is still fully healthy, late in the season. That's why they have exceeded expectations in the standings yet again. http://valleyofthesuns.com/2012/04/05/secret-behind-phoenix-suns-elite-training-staff/ Here's another, with charts and a graph. http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2225

Blake Griffin was flagrant fouled again by Robin Lopez. Watching the replays, including the Andre Miller train of pain foul, Blake Griffin manages to flop in mid-air. He's the master of all floppers.
Faried is so disruptive. It was clear on draft day and especially clear now but I don't see how Nolan Smith is anywhere near the prospect Faried is. Chad. Fucking. Buchanan.
What the fuck is this? Is that Kevin Love? God what a douche bag. All he needs is a bow tie and a sweater vest and he's the tallest hipster in America.
That's Kevin Love. Well, he is from Portland -- the hipster capital (per capita) of the U.S. Right now it's very douchtastic. He needs to wax it up and go with the Val Kilmer/Doc Holliday look. Go all-out hipster:
