Lakers Still Want Odom Back Jul 04, 2009 8:49 AM EST The Lakers still want Lamar Odom back, but the free-agent forward will have to lower this asking price. Odom is believed to be looking for $10 million annually, but the Lakers are already about $10 million into the luxury tax. Luxury tax is paid for in a dollar-for-dollar penalty, so signing Odom for $10 million next season would result in a bill of $20 million. The Los Angeles Times suggested a compromise on Friday night. The Lakers can sign Odom to a one-year deal worth $7.5 million, allowing him to test free agency again next summer.

Whatever Odom gets paid it will almost be doubled since they are over the cap. Paying him 10 million would be almost impossible. Taking it slow is the right thing to do as to not offend anyone. Plus Odom's side seems like they are in no hurry anyway. The only team that can pay Lamar that money is Portland.. and I quite frankly don't see that happening. Once Portland signs David Lee or someone else, then Lamar will have no other options but to come back to LA for the price Mitch sees working [7 million or 8 at the most for 2 or 3 years]. Also it's not as easy as simply "shipping people out of town", I'm sure Mitch has explored those options. Why would anyone want Sasha Vujacic and his toxic contract? Jordan makes chump change. Also trading away players doesn't necessarily mean more money will be available immediately. You will not be sorry Milwaukee! Last Edited By: Long Beach Vincey 07/04/09 1:12 PM. Edited 1 time.

A shooter in this league will always be valued, his "tenacity" on the defensive end could spark some sort of interest with D'Antoni, it's just a perfect fit I tell you Happy 4th people edit: The Rockets offered Trevor Ariza the one thing the Lakers could not. They did not offer a greater salary than the Lakers or Cavaliers and actually came in with an offer almost $9 million less than the Toronto Raptors. They certainly cannot claim the immediate chance to chase another title that would be come with a return to Los Angeles or jump to Cleveland. The Rockets could, however, offer the one thing he needed most. They really, really needed him. "I'm not a greedy person and the Lakers know I'm not a greedy person," Ariza said. "You can see it in the way I play. I just want to play for a team that wants me, the team that gives me the chance to improve my game. "I'm excited about it because I'm getting an opportunity to play. They were the team that showed the most interest in me, and that was all I wanted." With Ariza's decision to accept the five-year deal worth roughly $33 million, the Rockets and Lakers effectively swapped free agents, with Ron Artest going to Los Angeles and Ariza going from triumph with the Lakers to opportunity with the Rockets. "I'm a champion," he said. "And I'm a Houston Rocket." Seriously, is Ariza's agent telling him what to say? TEAM LOS ANGELES DODGERS "I say t h i s f r om the bot t om of my he a r t, t ha t i f you don' t roo t for the Dodg e r s, you m i g ht no t get in t o H e a ve n."

Teams aren't going to take Sasha in the off season. And just because you trade him that doesn't mean that there'd be money for LO since they would have to take on a player with the same salary.. You will not be sorry Milwaukee!

It's not impossible, Jerry has the money, plus he'll make all that back and then some with the playoff run. I read somewhere the Lakers made an extra 50 million+ or so this year with the Finals run, that's more than enough to cover the luxury tax. Just get him back, throw in a box of Snickers and Gummy Savers to sweeten the deal. TEAMLAKERS-2008-2009 NBA CHAMPIONS TEAM DC UNIVERSE-The Riddler "Riddle Me This...Riddle Me That"

And neither do the 29 other NBA clubs 28, imo, they should resign brown and ship farmer since he would be the easiest to ship out. many teams like the raptor, magic, are all looking for an backup point guard. if they can get him for draft picks and cash considerations, that would be an blessing in disguise.
