I think the Jazz will match Millsap's offer thus sending the Blazers to go after Odom. Jerry Bus sounded pretty ticked at Odom and his agent's handling of the situation.

Two sobering takes on Odom and the Lakers from an L.A. perspective:
Silver Screen and Roll
Forum Blue and Gold
Both pieces make convincing arguments that this is just a negotiations game between Buss and Odom. It will end with Odom as a Laker.
It's kind of sad that your only hope of beating the Lakers is if they lose players to free agency.
Its kind of sad that the Laker's only chance at a championship comes from their ability to pay way over the luxury tax, essentially buying their trophies.
I hope you guys retain Odom. I want your asses at full strength so gots like you don't come back with dumbass excuses.
But to respond to your comment, it's not sad, it's the nature of the business. In the offseason you do what you can to improve your team and hope that your rivals become weaker. Pretty straight forward.
Exactly.Really not that complicated.
Do you have any friends outside of the internets? I understand your desire to achieve genuine social interaction, and I further understand that it may be difficult for a person your age to work google to find a lakers fan forum, but I have to say, if you think antagonizing people is a way to make friends and or influence people you are pretty much going in the wrong direction.
Once you graduate high school and join the real world you'll understand that people tend to appreciate individuals that have a sense of self worth that exceeds witty one liners and clever talking on spurstalk.com. It def. wont help you learn how to overcome your overarching fear of women (and trust me, even though I have never experienced the level of awkwardness you clearly have with the opposite sex, I empathize with you, I really do). If you don't believe me, just count on one hand how many times you've been able to use some witty little diatribe you posted on spurstalk to help you get on a girl's good side.
My point is, hiding behind the snarky little character you picked out for yourself (dr. house--seriously? why not just get a big sign that reads "I'm insecure, and in order to mask those insecurities I hide behind the fictional image of Dr. House, a self loathing narcissist that is generally despised by all that know him.") and lurking around spurstalk 24/7 is re ing your social growth, not enabling it.
So, after that little pick up speech, why don't you commit yourself to changing! Go pick up those running shoes, get a little exercise, and get rid of that baby fat. Try talking to that girl at school that you've always liked but have always been too shy to approach. Don't start with anything to big, remember you're still fat, just make small talk and show her that you're an ok dude. Eventually, you'll gain enough confidence to settle for an annoying girl that is also a virgin (and probably not too hot), but for whatever reason likes you.
Good luck![]()
I thought your mother was quite good last night. A little loose though.
i think someone just got told.
Bravo!!!
Well said, but I have a small issue with your characterization that House's contribution cons utes "witty one liners and clever talking."
Far from it... especially after seeing his less than inspired response.
Looks like the good old Dr. House got

You are now officially a SpursTalk legend!
Dude it's over! There is no comebacks after that one. Don't even try. It's time to move on. May this be a fulfilling learning lesson.
So I take it no meaningful update on Odom.
Now we hear Miami are looking at trying to acquire Boozer AND Odom. This would be fantastic!!! Fantastic for the Spurs... Utah and Lakers both get weakened and 2 very good players are shipped out east for the Celtics and Cavs to worry about. I am PRAYING this get's done. Seems like it will be really tough though. Not easy to acquire two guys like that. Miami apparently offering 5 years $34m to Odom which is more then the Lakers are offering in terms of years which is what they're disputing, contract length. Boozer is a trade scenario. If Odom is still up in the air at in a couple of days it would be awesome for Milsap to be matched by Utah and then Portland turning their attention (and cap space) to Odom. But if Odom joins the Blazers, may not be too good for the Spurs.
Damn fool... you just wrote the argument to end all arguments.![]()
Read this multiple times and each time is better than the last.![]()
