Lamar Odom is coming back to the Lakers!!! From the LA Times (“Lamar Odom agrees to return to Lakers,” Broderick Turner, 31 July 2009): The Lakers reached a deal to re-sign free-agent forward Lamar Odom today, retaining an important, and versatile, part of last season's championship run . . . Odom, a 6-foot-10 forward, has been a key player on the Lakers for five seasons. He became an unrestricted free agent in July. The four-year deal is worth $33 million if the Lakers exercise the final year of the contract, sources close to the negotiations said . . . Odom also had conversations with the Miami Heat about a five-year deal for $34 million, allowing him to opt out after the third season and become a free agent. Because there are no state taxes in Miami, Odom still could have made nearly as much as with the Lakers' offers.
My comments: As a fan, I’m happy. And now I’m looking forward to a possible Los Angeles vs. Cleveland series perhaps? Honestly, I don’t think it’ll happen. But I do think it possible I’m going to another Lakers parade come June 2010.
