Lamar Odom to return to Lakers
Source: Odom, Lakers agree on deal
Updated: July 30, 2009, 4:59 PM ET
By J.A. Adande and Marc Stein
ESPN.com
Lamar Odom will return to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to an NBA source.
Odom will sign a four-year contract, with the fourth year at the Lakers' option.
One source with knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com the four-year deal is worth $33 million if the Lakers exercise the final year of the contract.
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak declined comment. Odom's agent, Jeff Schwartz, did not return a message immediately.

Great news for the Lakers. Losing Odom would have, in my opinion, put them in serious doubt to hold the top spot in the West. San Antonio and Portland are both going to be much improved and the Lakers NEED Odom in order to make a serious run at another title. Having Odom gives them the versatility to slide Pau to the 5 when Bynum decides to commit fouls on every play. As good as the Laker starters are, their strength is their depth and Odom was the key to that. Glad he's coming back.

Although i do look forward to Artest snapping Ginobli in half when he comes down the lane and tries to lower his Argentinian shoulder. |

Guess D-Wade and Riley came weak with the recruiting pitch.

I think its quite sad that people overlook EVERY other team because the Lakers resigned Odom. There is no promise they would even repeat if they came back with the same lineup as last year, let alone this new lineup. That is why the sport is played. Anyone remember the All-Star lineup the Lakers had in 2004? They were the favs and lost....anything can happen.
I am not that worried.

I think you posted in the wrong topic, this doesn't have anything to do with Shaq.

I think he posted on the wrong website. He now sounds like an insecure Cavs fan. |

Speaking of Shaq...did he throw the entire Suns organization under the bus yet? Wasn't he supposed to do that?
