http://lakers.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/11/can-a-deal-for-odom-be-far-off/20501/ Seems a bit too much for a backup PF. A little north of 8 million? smh Oh well, can't complain until I see the details. Hopefully LO doesn't get lazy then. Looks like Shape was right. Again.
8 mil sounds fine to me, he's definitely worth more than MLE. If Drew gets hurt and he starts or carries the load again, he'll be playing for a bargain; overall a solid deal. I'd give him 32 Million for 4 years with an option to leave after each year since he wants to test the market so bad.
