    Apparently it's a 4 year deal, for $33mil, with 4th year team option.

    That's less than what Miami supposedly offered him.

    So Odom can get 4 years from LA, but Brandon Roy can only get 3 from Portland?

    I thought it was a guaranteed fifth year that was rumoured to be the sticking point, not a fourth year.

    As a Laker fan I'm not all that thrilled about it.

    My concern is he played well in a contract year and we won't see the same commitment from him.

    I bet Portland would give Roy 4 years, 33M in a heartbeat.

    I can only pray you are right. Maybe Gasol will take up smoking while he's vacationing at home in Spain. And maybe, just maybe, Byum and Kobe will play twister with predictable results...

    I wonder if Portland turns around and offers that contract to David Lee?

    Since we didn't have it to offer Odom, and still don't have the money to do it for Lee, why not?
