Source: Odom, Lakers agree on deal (Pg. 14)


Recommended Posts

Kobe isn't clearly better than Wade, that's a joke.

YOU KNOW WHAT.... I agree. You were expecting me to flip out werent you? I think Kobe and Wade are the 2 best players in the NBA, I would take either of them on my team for one season over Lebron anyday. I still think Kobe is better then Wade though, he just does everything better then Wade I cant really find something Wade does better then Kobe.

Wade is better at attacking the rim and blocking shots. I'd say Kobe has him in total offense, overall defense, and pretty much anything else.

 

I'm sick of Odom, by the way.

Cmon B, you know we need him on the bench to repeat. I ask you this, who is going to score off the bench without LO? Its important that he comes back.

We could use him, but we don't need him for a repeat. Shannon Brown is a pretty good player, and a potential starter, and as far as pulling down boards goes, if Bynum stays healthy, that's covered.

 

By the way, how about our new summer league forward? Do you know which one I'm talking about? He looks pretty good.

Utah is not dumb enough to trade Boozer without getting Beasley, there not going to want Haslem and Cook.

 

Totally misinformed..

 

Utah has to dump Boozer's salary because they can't go over the LT. Giving them Beasley wouldn't work because of salary issues and Miami just won't give him up like that. It's Haslem and Wright most likely with Memphis being a third team.

I don't know what is going on. Over the last 2 days I have read like 3 reports that he is close to signing with the Lakers and 3 reports that he is close to signing with the Heat. Let me just say, any report that does not come from ESPN from now on is BS.

I'm a Laker fan but I'm pretty sure he's going to Miami.

 

Woj, on Yahoo reported LO most likely will be a Heat next year, and Woj's track record this offseason has been great.

 

Furthermore, I think the stalling is because LO's camp has been trying to wait to see if Buss will increase the offer, and by all reports, that has not happened because the offer has actually decreased. I don't see why LO would resign to an even lower offer than the one he already rejected. Wade and Riley meeting with him in LA pretty much seals the deal IMO, I'm expecting an "LO to Miami" report in the next 48 hours.

 

But then again, I could be completely wrong. I just don't see how LA are favorites anymore. If I'm LO I'm taking the Miami deal.

Lamar, Riley, and Wade Meet - Odom Says Thanks But No Thanks

 

According to sources close to the Lakers' organization, Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat formally met with Lamar Odom this afternoon to discuss their contract offer of 5 years, $34 million at the MLE. The result of their meeting was that Odom ultimately said he appreciated their offer but that he would have to decline. He reiterated his love for the city of Miami for giving him a home, and to Riley for giving him his first big contract (of which he is currently coming off of).

 

However, he felt his best chance to win another NBA championship would be with the Lakers, and that he felt he owed it to the city of Los Angeles to come back for another title run. Odom plans on meeting with Lakers' owner Jerry Buss later this week to finalize contract details. More to come later.

And Jermaine can't change his #?

 

 

I don't know can he? We should look this up on the rule book. But didn't Jordan wear 45 cause somebody else was wearing 23 if I am correct.

Anyone can change their number lol, plus 45 was his baseball number.

 

No I think the NBA made a rule cause of Artest changing his number so many times with the Bulls. So once you are that and you chose that number that's your number. Unless you get traded or you have more then four season with that same team according to ESPN

 

 

And not way it will be 6 month if they get Odom right now. So Odom will have to get a new number I guess.

I just want this to be over with. Figure it out, yay or nay...let's stop dragging this out so we know what other possible moves we will make.

Exactly, the longer this drags out the less and less FA's there are in the market. There's no more Gooden, Wilcox, Wallace..
