Now that the Dallas Mavericks have separated from Lamar Odom, the forward has some time on his hands.

And who better to help him fill the time than former teammate and boyhood chum, Metta World Peace.

"Maybe he can come back and be a ball boy and then next year, come play," World Peace told Dave McMenamin of ESPNLA.com of his plan to get Odom back in L.A. "...He'd be the first ball boy in the NBA that can play. Come back; get the towels and next year, play. Why not? He should be a scout. Lamar should be a scout."

Maybe not an NBA scout.

"Lamar should just like for one month, just be a boy scout and wear the outfit," the Lakers forward said. "Just have fun. You're getting paid."

Or...

"What's the biggest mountain in the world?" "...He should go hike it. Do something that's never been done."
