According to sources close to the Lakers' organization, Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat formally met with Lamar Odom this afternoon to discuss their contract offer of 5 years, $34 million at the MLE. The result of their meeting was that Odom ultimately said he appreciated their offer but that he would have to decline. He reiterated his love for the city of Miami for giving him a home, and to Riley for giving him his first big contract (of which he is currently coming off of).
However, he felt his best chance to win another NBA championship would be with the Lakers, and that he felt he owed it to the city of Los Angeles to come back for another title run. Odom plans on meeting with Lakers' owner Jerry Buss later this week to finalize contract details. More to come later.

ReplyDeleteLamar just signed tonight with the Lakers. Heat lose again.
ReplyDeleteLamar signing with heat. will be announced tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCBS 2's Jill Hill reported this afternoon that Odom will meet with Miami Heat president Pat Riley and superstar guard Dwyane Wade tonight.
ReplyDeleteWade has been publicly campaigning for Odom to return to South Florida via his Twitter feed for weeks.
As we mentioned a couple of nights ago, Riley has a home in L.A., so it wasn't clear if he was coming out West to meet with Odom or just to spend some time in his former haunts.
I still believe, based on recent conversations I've had with people who haven't taken the vow of radio silence some of the principals in the negotiations have, that Odom will be back with L.A.
The Miami gambit is merely his best leverage at getting the Lakers to sweeten their offer. But financially, he can still make the most with the Lakers.
Earlier today, I spoke with a league source who said Odom may be toying with the idea of signing with Miami and testing free agency again in three years. If he thinks he can get a new contract after that third year, for more money, the financial picture starts to match up better.
With the way the league's finances are going though, and the fact Odom will be 32 in three years, I can't see him getting a better offer later. Which makes that idea a huge gamble.
The only other reason I can see Odom bolting is if he's emotionally disappointed by how the Lakers handled the process. If he's hurt they didn't give him what he asked for, and merely likes the public courting the Heat have done.
Odom is a loyal guy, and an emotional guy, so it's hard to know his state of mind. But he's also a businessman, who has been successful in several different fields. I think that wins out in the end.
wow, a blog infested with 5 year olds! Fun reading though...
ReplyDeleteOBVIOUSLY he's not goin to tell you guys his sources. Jesus, all of this shit is rumors. Take them for what they are.
ReplyDeleteit is pretty detailed to be just a rumor. it is either true or complete fucking bullshit. If he is lying we should crush his head like a watermelon niggaz
ReplyDeleteNigga please, wait til he sings with the Heat and all ya bitches will be cryin fo sho!
ReplyDeletehow did you get the information
ReplyDeleteMy sources tell me that Lamar is considering playing in Europe since he is disatisfied with the Lakers refusal to meet his contractual demands and feels he deserves more than the MLE.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of horse shit!!
ReplyDeleteOutsources close to the Lakerz' posse have informed moi via Blackberry that LO aka Rotten Teeth mofo, Jeff Goldblum, and Jerry "Drunk Off My Furrreakin Ass" Buss held a counterproductive meeting today, although no contract was signed other than my shizzo to the nizzo. Buss held firm his forever deflated penis and almost wilted at his current offer of 3 years, $24 million (with player incentives). Odom stated that he wants to be a Laker, and Buss reiterated, holding deflated penis in hand, that he wants Odom back for next year, Skittles fallin out of his pocket onto the court so Bynum can get hurt again. There was a positive and sometimes negative vibe between the two parties, and they vowed to resume negotiations later this week or my name is Keyser Soze.
ReplyDeleteOdom signs 4 year deal with Lakers !! Yeah baby, it is ok Heat fags...you can watch the playoffs on TV LOL!!!
