The Goods Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Lamar Odom Contract Omni-Watch: She has finally ended. What felt like "done and done, just add ink and paper" for both sides stretched out thirty days, creating an environment equal parts "suspenseful," "tedious" and "I'll have another double whiskey with a vodka chaser. " Lamar Odom wanted to remain a Laker. The Lakers wanted him to stick around. How could something seemingly so obvious take a month to hammer out? Well, crackerjack reporter that I am, I tracked down Lamar Odom and got the real skinny.* Turns out, this was quite the complicated affair with more layers than a riddle and enigma sandwich with extra onions. (Mmmmmm. Riddle and enigma sandwich!) But all's well that ends well, which is the bottom line. Get ready for a heaping dose of "explanation." TOP TEN REASONS LAMAR ODOM TOOK SO LONG BEFORE SIGNING WITH THE LAKERS 10) I kept misreading the commas and zeroes and thought the offer was 4 years, 3.3 mil. That's my bad. 9) I got so caught up in Sun Yue Contract Omni-Watch, I forgot about my own situation. 8) I was about to call Dr. Buss on July 15th and accept the offer, but got caught up in a "Law & Order: SVU" marathon on USA. Next thing I knew, it's July 30th. 7) I wanted to see if Dwyane Wade would grow desperate enough to Tweet me his ATM PIN and Social Security Number. 6) Every time my caller ID read "J. Buss," I thought it was that weird kid who accepted the Larry O'Brien. Can you blame me for not picking up? 5) Truth be told, the long wait had nothing to do with "leverage." I just wanted to see if my first choice Timberwolves would finally even offer me the veteran's minimum.
