And that my friends is what this impasse seems to come down to : a guarantee of employment for a fourth year. Apparently Lamar Odom is nervous about being out on the market in three years, $30 million richer and looking for work. He must be concerned about his inability to get a new deal at the high end of the pay scale when he's almost 33 years old.
hey 360, if Lamar Odom is so good, where are his all-star appearances?? i mean you'd think if he was such an amazing player he'd get atleast ONE right?don't give me anything about double doubles or versatility - because he's the most inconsistant motherfucker ever...THE JD DREW OF THE NBA LMAO
^poor nigga gon' get his kids starved in 3 years when his contract is upbuss is inhuman

(in your opinion?)Personally i don't care. I care about the team. And we replaced him with Artest, so it's all good.The nighmare is replacing Odom with Gooden or Joe Smith!!those are solid players. But they arent the offense threat coming off the bench that Odom CAN be when he shows up.Think about your bench, who is gonna be the playmaker? Sasha? Luke? Farmar? lol. Scary shit...1) Honesly our offense is the last thing i'm worried about. Odom ain't valuable for that. Our problem is the opposite. It's that Bynum can't defend, and Bynum+Gasol means Bynum is out after 5 minutes with 2-3 fouls, and we need a defensive stopper inside. Odom fills that role perfectly. Every fucking night. Then sometimes he plays well in offense, someday he doesn't. But that's the last thing i'd ask him to do. He's a Robert Horry type of player. He was a key player not because of his points per game, but because of his defense next to Shaq. Solid role players lead you to the win, remember that.2) Shannon Brown can be a good backup PG.

on the subject of it nikwhy did ariza leave? (in your opinion?)
but i mean you cant say that cuz some of the "best" players dont make the all star team, that dont mean their wackat the same time some of the wack or not as good players make it

I agree, besides he doesn't have to put up with Kobe's antics and his phony laughs. Do you think he'll end up leaving?
