actually Odom leaving might not be as absurd as thought if recent reports about only 3 years $27 million offered are true. That makes taking the MLE for 5 years not a ridiculous option for Odom if he really wants a 5 year contract.
All this said he probably goes back to the Lakers
I don't see Odom going anywhere, but he might wind up making less money with L.A. than if he'd signed their offer.

It dosen't matter the Lakers (AHEM....) the Refs are the team or teams to beat!
Manu scored 30+ that game retard. Time to retake that basic math course you failed in grade school.Quote:

He can when he's healthy. And he guards Duncan as well as any big man in the entire NBA.Quote:

Injuries are never an excuse for losing. Health is part of the game. That said...when Radmanobitch can effectively guard Manu, that's air-tight beyond a reasonable doubt proof that he's nowhere near 100%Quote:

The odds of us seeing a healthy Spur team are starting to look like that of the Rockets.
You can't pull the injury card when your main cogs are on the downhill of their careers. It's just something that happens with age, both Duncan and Manu are old and their bodies can't take a brutal NBA regular season and a deep post season.
Could Odom return to a former NBA employer? It is not a foregone conclusion that Lamar Odom and his agent are going to remain in LA as once thought. Enter Pat Riley and the Miami Heat and team he is familiar with and had a bit of success as an emerging Dwayne Wade broke out a few years ago. Also in the equation is a soon to be traded Carlos Boozer in which the Heat are said to be looking to add also. Throw in Wade, Beasley, Boozer, Odom and possibly a trade for Haslem to bring in some depth and you could possibly have a formidable team. Albeit, Wade and Boozer are somewhat injury prone. Looks like the Lakers pulling the offer off the table will backfire or atleast it's possible. Could Kobe be fuming about this situation when he refused to opt out in hope to defend his title? More in the coming days I'm sure.
Isn't manu the same age as Kobe?
Kobe will be 31 in August.Quote:

Age does not correlate perfectly with physical health for all human beings.Quote:

Neither Ginobili nor Duncan have shown any indication in the last two seasons that their bodies can take the beating of a brutal NBA season and a deep post season. That won't magically get better as they age even more. The proof is in the pudding, Duncan is sitting out back to back games. Tell me what athlete in great physical shape would do that?
I'm pretty sure Kobe will start breaking down. The Devil's power is only so strong.
a camby for odom deal could work. their salaries are close enough as well.
