5 yr, 9 mill a yr?
Wow.....
It looks like Odom knows what he's doing and proved me wrong.
There are reports that he's talking to Miami about a deal in the 9 million range.
I guess it was about the money....but he's figured out a way to have his cake and eat it too.
5 yr, 9 mill a yr?
Money absolutely has something to do with it.
It's just not only about the money.
9mil in LA or 9 mil in Miami.
Considering all the cir stances, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't choose Miami under those cir stances.
That sucks....LoL.
We haven't lost Odom as of this morning, Cry. We lost Ariza, we've ostensibly replaced him with Artest.
And I don't lock step with MANY Lakers fans, Cry.
This is obviously hypothetical debate and is assuming Odom leaves L.A.
Even picking up Artest, do you think Artest > Odom and Ariza? Can the Lakers afford to lose that kind of bench depth?
I guess people have forgotten that miami doesn't own lamar's bird rights, and S&T option is not available since Mitch is only keeping the roster at 13 players. But if you wanna have fun, go ahead.
When Odom leaves, is this thier last move?
Probably not.
The Lakers will probably get Bryan Colangelo to buy out Chris Bosh's contract and then Bosh will sign with the Lakers for a minimum contract.
Memphis likes to help teams out. The Grizz are way under the cap and can afford to sign Odom to $9 million a year. Then they could work out a sign and trade with Miami for Udonis Haslem, Dorrell Wright, and either future picks or cash considerations. Both Haslem and Wright have expiring deals.
then there is nothign to worry about.
when a team signs a new player they have to wait till late december to trade them. thats why even gortat cant become trade bait till that time
Jam, runnin' as fast he can.
GO---Jam---GO!
People, you cannot sign someone else's free agent and than do a S&T!! Seriously, you guys are not educated enough. Please read Larry Coon FAQ before posting your nonsense in here.
Whoops e daisy, Jam,,,Iggy just busted yer goober.
Wow...did you actually get angry because someone made a mistake and didn't take the time to read a LONG article before posting on a message board?
Its not just him, its about 100 other re s in this thread and other Odom ones.
Did you think I was serious that Memphis would do that?
Can someone explain how Miami could possibly be offering 9 million? Even with no state taxes I find that hard to believe.
Lol. Wow, I was not serious.
Why would Memphis do that?
Apparantly, that has been reported by one of the Miami papers but it's been shot down already. There is no way Miamican offer that kind of money without the Lakers involved and Buss is on record as saying he won't do that.
So the number are still Miami offering 5.6 mil per year and the Lakers offering 8.1 million (after state tax). 2.5 mil less per year to sign with Miami. Is he trying to convince Buss to do a S&t?
they cant offer 9 million. what the papers are trying to say is our 9 million with taxes is the same as their 5.8 million without taxes. the thing is i doubt its true. even with taxes the lakers offer still holds more salary per year
Nice save.
That's not Colangelo's style, he'd trade Bosh for Vujacic, Farmar, and Morrison. He's got a thing for cruddy white players.
no surprise there if he does that.
