Chris Broussard of the New York Times reports: Clippers swingman Lamar Odom, who will be become a restricted free agent at season's end, is interested in becoming a member of the New York Knicks.

Odom said he would even be willing to take the Mid-Level Exception, which is projected to be between $4.6-to-$4.9 million next season, to play in New York.

?I would listen to them,? said Odom, who is averaging 14.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in his fourth season in the NBA.?That?s the one team where I could see myself signing for that. It?s New York. But I would think the Clippers would match that.?

However, even though he would love to play in New York, his loyalty is with the Clippers.

?My loyalty is to the Clippers for being loyal to me,? Odom said. ?We?ll have to see in July, but hopefully the Clippers want me back.?
