Breaking News: Lamar Odom Will Re-Sign With Lakers
ESPN is reporting that Lamar Odom and the Lakers have agreed on a reported potential four-year, $33 million deal.
According to ESPN, Miami had offered Odom as much as it can for a team well over the salary cap: $34 million over five years with an opt-out to return to free agency after the fourth season, according to sources.
What do you think? Good move for L.A.? Good decision by Lamar?

good for LA. kinda ok for lamar. his minutes are gonna go down with bynum getting healthy and the manager liking him but the coach and the players… not so much. Artest is gonna get time at the four or at least posting up other guys and that will put him on the wing more. where he is great but not as effective as on the inside. and with gasol or bynum also on the court and his shot being what it is, this isn’t the greatest move for lamar. but hey he’s 29? 30 31? I dunno either way the man just past his prime sitting on the bench and getting scoffed at by kobe bryant. I think he could’ve done better but it is what it is.
LA is gonna be a big contender next season. but they’ll miss ariza’s hustle plays

hoopsguru says:
Signing LO is important for soooo many reasons
1) in case Ron Ron goes Ron Ron
2) depends on which Bynum shows up this season, the one from two years ago, or last years AB
I think the loss of Trevor is more important than people think, while I like Artest, I think Ariza was a better fit for the overall success of the purple and gold.

tindore says:
the worry was, he would pull a Trevor Ariza and bounce for a similar or less offer just out of pride, and miami wasnt as far fetched as it seems at the moment.

im extremely excited, i yelled on the phone 2 my wife when i seen the sceen pop up w/ LOs signing

"Big Hook" Nunez says:
Damn Odumb cost himself almost $4M with his waffling. As a Lakers’ fan I was indifferent to him staying or leaving either way after all the drama. But like all the other Lakers fans that was bad mouthing him the last 2 weeks, I will welcome him back with open arms. And how was Portland going to offer him 8M a year, I thought they signed Dre Miller with their cap space?

@LakersNation says:
Lamar Odom is a Trending Topic on Twitter . . . goes to show how much this is going to show the rest of the league that it’s the Lakers for the next 3 years - which is exactly how much we need to pass Boston!

If ever there was a team stacked enough to rival the 95-96 Bulls record… I’d say this LA team has a damn good shot with Odom signed. Hella fucking stacked. Period.

RP from SURREY says:
LA needs to trade Farmar, Sun Yue, and Vujacic or Mbenga for Ray Felton or Iverson. Charlotte would pull it off and i think Detroit would too. SOMEONE PROPOSE THESE TRADES! they’d definitely work!

Shawn Marion for Jermaine Oneal…
This was the trade that saved the day for the Lakers
Had Pat Riley not made this move, the Heat could have offered serious $$$ to Odom.
(JO’s contract is for $23m this season, while the Matrix’s had expired)

Oh shit..
Seriously.. its a wrap.. all you haters better hope we have faith in Bynum for no good reason cuz if that kid plays ANYTHING close to his pre-injury status we bout to win 70 games..
Damn and Kobe aint got to guard the other teams Premier player anymore??

@ PWNED
I think if RonRon acts up we’ll trade to hell AKA Memphis..

"Big Hook" Nunez says:
Lakers should sign Starbury to bolster the PG position. I can see it now, Starbury and Artest gets bored on road trips and does an internet stream from their hotel room.
Starbury to Ron: Have some Strabury flavor Vaseline Ron and cry on my shoulders, I love you man! LOL
Ron: raps and sings in the background

LA fans rejoice; everyone else weeps. This team might be more loaded than any since the Jordan Bulls (and probably since the 80s Celtics/Lakers).

LO could be the greatest 6th man ever. Only serious fans realize how different a rotation this is and what a problem it is for other teams. Besides Michael Cooper, who else even comes close? Welcome back.
