It's a risk but saved cap space don't make none.
I think it will take significantly overpaying Odom to get him out of LA. I would do it, because there aren't any other better, realistic options for the Spurs anymore. They really don't need to spend on depth other than possibly adding a new back-up point to replace Speedy. The Spurs can pay Odom max and have $1.5 left for a point.
Should they make this offer?
Do it.

I'm with you, timvp. Cap space can't score or play D. Cap space won't win a le and it can't be saved to land a good player next year.
If the unthinkable happens and our offer to Brand is matched, yes. Just as long as the Spurs get a Dumbass Exception should he fail his last drug test in the NBA.
If Sterling matches for Brand... offer something similar for Odom. Make that er pay to keep those players.
Odom is not a max player.
He has the potential of a max player, but he's not a max player right now.
Odom hasn't proven he can survive an entire season and avoid both injury and/or suspension. Why risk that much money on him?
Offer less than the max, but make an offer.
I might offer max but not 20 million up front
might as well
i mean we offered rasho a contract
Why not pay him a larger amount upfront? The Spurs have to do something to scare the out of Sterling if they don't want to be matched. It's a risk, but it's less of a risk than going into next season with Radosoft Nesterovich as your main acquisition and trying to win a le.
Yeah...
Max + Quarter Bag and a New Bong!
I would rather trade then do that
I would if it comes to that. Odom is worth around $10 million considering PJ Brown just got that.
Has anyone considered offering Sterling a S&T for Odom?
Question.
Trade for who? Sprewell? GRob?I would rather trade then do that
Toni Kukoc would be avaible bucks sure do not want to pay the luxury tax this year
spree would be
big dog would be
spurs would be ED IF ODOM GOT CAUGHT AGAIN
they may not be as good as odom but much safer
*        Gilbert Arenas I would rather sign then throw the max at odom
I don't get it... you were one of the mani people against Kidd but now you want to bring in a point guard who's pretty similar to Parker instead of the best point in the league who's game is vastly different?
Arenas is from az for one thing.
and his natural postion is shooting guard not point guard
and tp still would be the point
if kidd came in he would be the point and force tp to move over
oh marburay is better then kidd
besides that the wizzards are thinking of offering Arenas 6.2 million the spurs could still sign someone else
Ducks,
Enough with the whole "he's gonna get caught with weed again."
How long has it been since the last one? A year? He's not Mighty Mouse.
Arenas is a flavor of the month. I wouldn't thorw huge money at him and lose Manu for one OK season and a bad at ude.
how many players got arrested this year so far?
QUESTION
It is a matter of TIME
his bad at ude is blown way out of proption
you put him on a winning team he will be fine
atleast he will be playing and not suspened in the nba
and everyone before the offseason said they would not mind odom for less then the max but know everyone wants to throw max money at him
Oh yes, what a GREAT INDICATOR on how much time Odom has until gets a third strike.
Maybe he quit? Maybe he doesn't do it as often.
Hey, a bunch of old hollywood stars are dieing... just a matter of time 'til Stevie Wonder and Sherly Temple are next.
I couldn't have said it any better than Spurswoman did!
After looking at Odom's stats, I cannot believe anybody would be willing to offer him the max. He has played less than 1/2 of the games the past two years. He is one drug violation away from a permanent suspension. His efficiency/game is 15.9, just a little above Rasho's 14.8. What are you guys smoking and where can I get some too?
I'd give him the max if worse comes to worse, we payed Steve Smith a load of cash last year
I think with a 8.5-9.5 mil of starting salary 6 yrs contract offer, Sterling wouldn't dare to match that offering.
Especially, if he already signs Brand first. He might indeed decide to choose Magette instead Odom, fact that his contract is cheaper and not quite a risk compared to Odom.
5.5 mil for Nesterovich, 9 mil for Odom, that would still leave us around 1.5 mil of caproom. Erik Piatkowski as the next signing would be nice IMHO, having him as a specialty player, specialized in hitting a three to bust any zone D we might face next season.
