Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reports: Lamar Odom is long, skilled and, best of all, available. His first preference is to re-sign with the Clippers this summer but Odom revealed that if given the opportunity to return home he would accept the Knicks' mid level exception.

"That's the one team where I could see myself signing for that," Odom said after helping the Clippers defeat the Knicks Saturday night. "It's New York."

As Knick fans start to get their hopes up, it's worth noting that Odom will be a restricted free agent this summer. Even a cheap guy like Donald T. Sterling would pounce on the chance to get Odom under a six year contract at that price.
