HoopsHype Rumor: Spurs Trying to Sign Lamar Odom

[Man In Black]

It's all over LA radio.

[Medvedenko]

Odom would be deadly in silver and black.
TD
Odom
RJ
Manu
TP

Still, not going to happen though.

[ffadicted]

Spurs signing Odom would be a stupid waste of money

[Mavs<Spurs]

No. It won't work.

[AFBlue]

Now THIS would turn out to be a Maggette situation for sure...

Odom entertains offers from contenders but ends up signing with "team x" whose Plan A fell through.

[alamo50]

As I said before: Odom will never be a Spur.

[The Truth #6]

If we can use the clearing cap space to sign Odom excuse to trade Bonner and Finley, then yes let's clear cap space to "sign Odom."

[DMX7]

We're in a worse position to sign him than the Lakers. Complete BS.

[smrattler]

I would bet all of my $STCash there's no chance.

[FkLA]

No thanks.

I'd rather do a s&t for Ariza...give them Finley or Mason, their choice.

[Spursmania]

Total BS...

Probably just an attempt by LA media to put pressure on Bus to sign him. Thinking Odom could go the Spurs would definitely light a fire under Bus' ass.
They will probably pay more than they have to now, so essentially getting screwed by their own LA media...

[JiggaWhat99]

Ariza would work in our system, We dont need Odom, Go an get Wallace

[lefty]

too good to be true, I'll take Odom over Rasheed ANY DAY

Rasheed can D up

Lamar can't

And Lamar had like 4 good games for L.A last season

[scottspurs]

Let the Lakers stay soft they can keep him.

[lefty]

he doesn't have the pressure like in SA like he did in LA, I could see him flourish

Interesting point.

But Ariza or Odom made sense before the RJ trade.

Now that we have addressed the SF situation, we have a different need (another big man)

[VivaPopovich]

i seriously doubt the spurs will be able to afford him

that'd be nice tho, long term he'd be a better pickup than rasheed. if only he could keep his head on straight

[ElNono]

The conversation went like this:

RC: How much does your kid want?
Odom Agent: 4 year/$50 mil

[alchemist]

Doesn't every player in the league use the "Spurs are interested in me" card to pressure their current team into forcing up some change?

[urunobili]

Why would LA offer LO $9-10? That's outbidding themselves. He made $14 last year because of a trade kicker but his base was only $10.5 iirc.

They will bring both players back for more than the MLE out of respect but no way either's deal is more than 8 per on avg.

:pwned

[SouthTexasRancher]

HoopsHype??? Have they ever been correct about anything? Not what you call credible journalism. They tend to see too many flying saucers with Martians on board.

That's good, El Nono. Keep them coming

[Spurtacus]

I hope we aren't wasting time pursuing Odom with all the bigs out there. Only way I see Odom coming is a sign in trade...that ain't happening.

[bishopospurs]

10 mil a year on a 4th or 5th scoring option? No thanks. Just need a rebounding/shot blocking center and a back up SF, Odom is neither. Career underachiever.
