Lakers Withdraw Offer To Odom
wcsoldier:
I'd say that both parties have little leverage in these negotiations .. others teams are either over the cap , just can offer the MLE to Lamar or the very few teams which have lots of cash to spend are not willing to give him what he wants ..
On the other hand , it would hurt us to lose LO versatility and we wouldn't be able to replace him . ( well , the only way we can get some very good players back would be a sign and trade which remains very unlikely).
A team which has just won a championship has no interest to lose its 2 main role players , there is a thing called "team chemistry" ...

Yes, but the offers from Miami and Dallas...even though they are less per year, are in states where there is no state tax. Making his take home amount relatively close. Plus, he might have the option of a 4 or 5 yr deal which will TOTAL out in more money then the 3 year deal offered by the Lakers. That could be attractive, because although the Laker offer is 9 million per year for 3...making 36 million for 5 could net him more money in the long run. Say he signs with LA, and after 3 years his value around the league is only 3 or 4 million when he becomes a FA. He would make anywhere from 1 to 3 million more total (at least) on the 5 yr deal. Job security ;)
Antonio:
Lakers are fucked up.

Yes, so are wcsoldier and Antonio, my niggas. Btw, Utah matched Millsap's offer sheet, so the Blazers got mad $crilla again - which they can give to Odom.
