OKAY I HAD TO COME BACK TO POST THIS UP, WHAT THE F*** are you thinking Odom?!!!
Lamar Odom's offer from the LA Lakers has been taken off the table, according to sources. He was offered $9 Million a year over 3 years (he wanted $10 million over 5), and the Lakers were upset that he was in talks with Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks (both teams who can only offer $5.8 million a year) so Buss, team owner pulled the deal. Even if this amount of money would make him the highest paid 6th man (yes, in front of Manu Ginobili), and most likely giving him a 3rd year player option, Odom and his agent Schwarts failed to contact the Lakers about the deal.
Lakers owner Jerry Buss is upset that Odom and his representative, agent Jeff Schwartz, haven't made contact with the organization regarding its $9-million-per season offer for three years. The source also said Buss was not happy that Odom and Schwartz have been having talks with the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat about a deal, but have refused to talk to the Lakers..."
Although this may seem like the end of Odom, there was some light at the end of the tunnel.
"Yes, we have taken the deal off the table," Lakers spokesman John Black said Tuesday. "Talks have broken down for the time being." Asked if talks could resume, Blacks said, "That's within the realm of possibility."
Hopefully Odom and his agent get their heads out of their asses and talk to the brass at the Lakers front office. If anything, this is a media stunt to get Odom to sign before Dallas or Miami picks up LO...
