Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said tonight he was "not as hopeful" of re-signing unrestricted free agent Lamar Odom "as I was Friday." Asked why, Kupchak said, "It's just a feeling you get. You have conversations with the player's representative and, right now, I'm not sure we're on the same page." For more Click Here
Good, anything that hurts he Lakers is O.K. with me. Odom is a hell of a player, and I will gladly trade Odom and Ariza for Ron Artest. Depth is huge, and with the Lakers losing two key players during a championship run, makes them a lot weaker. I'm not saying this because I'm a Celtics fan, but as a fan of the game.
***UPDATE***
Lamar Odom and the Los Angeles Lakers had reached an agreement on annual salary before the Lakers pulled out of contract talks with their versatile sixth man, sources with knowledge of the talks said on Tuesday.
Sources told ESPN.com that Odom and the Lakers had reached an accord entering the weekend on a per-season wage of $9 million for the 29-year-old. But Odom balked at L.A.'s unwillingness to extend an offer spanning more than three years in length and spent the past few days weighing his options. ESPN
