FWIW it's from a blog, I have no idea how much credibility this Jim Hill has. And in other news, DrHouse was abducted by aliens and probed anally and he liked it. BTW if true get ready for the on onslaught of all these faker cockroaches on ST. If Odom signs that just makes it that much sweeter when beat them, win the series and break their hearts. Maybe that'll shut them up.
Lamar Odom calls Jerry Buss
So sayeth our man Jim Hill, a cool cat with the best hair in the biz.
The purpose of said phone call? Repairing any bridges in need of fixing after Doc B. didn't take kindly to un-returned calls from LO's agent Jeff Schwartz. Does that mean LO is definitely favoring the Lakers over, say, the Miami Heat, who have reportedly offered him five years/35 mil (or haven't, according to the Tweets of Ric Bucher)? No, but it does stand to reason that Lamar hasn't decided to close his purple and gold chapter. Otherwise, unless Odom wants an invite to Jerry Buss' poker game whenever he's in L.A., I don't know why he'd bother placing the call.
A promising development for those hoping LO will stick around. We'll have more details as they emerge.

It seems that Odom is chasing the money, and that the overtures to other teams were just posturing. I'd be really surprised if he actually left LA.

Depth off the bench will be the key factor for the Spurs. We can close out games with a lineup of Tim, Tony, Manu, Jeff and either Dice/DaBeast. Kinda awesome! Who's better? But the remainder of the bench needs to be able to contribute/compete on a nightly basis so that the Big 3 don't wear down like last year. Hill, Hairston, Ian, Williams, Haislip, Bonner and Finley need to do more than just not lose leads. The West will again be a dogfight for 8 playoff spots--worse than last year. The Lakers cruised last regular season and were rested for the playoffs. Their toughest series's were actually in the West not Orlando. The Spurs FO needs to build a bench that is one of the best in the NBA.

Agreed. It's going to be drawn out in soap opera fashion, but in the end Odom will be back.
