Odom looking for at least what Marion gets

[21_Blessings]

Buss isn't going to pay Odom 8-9 million after 3 years since the CBA expires in 2012. The cap and player salaries are expected to drop dramatically. He'll already be paying Kobe out of this world money and a 33 year old Odom is not worth that much. a 30 year old Odom isn't either.

Still Odom is ign re for turning 3/28 down. He'll have a much easier time getting another contract at that age than when he's 35 and void of all athleticism.

No, but even us dummies can figure out 38 million is more than 36 million. No need to try and dissect it to defend your classiness. Bottome line, the five year deal is better than the four year deal.

Hmmm... actually depending on the structuring of the contracts and the discount rate, a 4 year contract worth 36 million may in fact be preferable to a 5 year contract worth 38 million. And that´s not taking into consideration that extra 5th year...

You ers may be classy, but you sure don't know math.

38mil>36mil.

You have to factor in that these contracts are guaranteed. He could get injured, then which one do you think is the better ratio?

Wow.

You're an idiot.

i'd rather get the 4 yr deal for 36 and try to get a deal again at age 34. im sure he can get a 1 yr deal more then 2 mill.
