    I think your biggest concern might very well be the trouble he and Artest can get into while living in LA.

    LO could go seriously sideways hanging out with Ron-Ron day to day.

    Canzano's buddy said that Odom was made the offer two days ago. Not sure how, but that's what he said.

    We'd only need 6.19M (since we have about 700k in cap space, and a 5/40 starts at 6.89M...

    It wouldn't even have to be that complex.

    Travis to MEM for whatever picks.
    Blake + cash to SAC for nothing. Conditional seconds. Brockman's rights. Whatever.
    Bam. We have 8.3M to play with. More than enough.
    OR
    Or Joel to OKC for nothing. That's scarier to me.

    Either way, I don't like it much, unless we were getting future 1sts in the first deal. But from what it looks like, it's done, right?

    Go back to the ESPN article and you will now find it scrubbed clean of any reference to the Blazers. Maybe Larry Miller sent them a quick letter?

    updated on 955 the game, earlier reports were false, KP commented that it wouldnt have worked out under salary cap, the earlier report was from another source that said they reached out to Odom.

    I was just there 5 minutes ago and it still had a "Portland got involved on Tuesday" mention, though it didn't expand on what that involvement entailed.

    If Portland even got mentioned at being involved and got LA to spend more money, then it was a victory.

    I am in awe of your ability to turn any thread into a condemnation of Blazers management.

    Odom signed for less money.
