"The Miami Heat, who traded Odom to the Los Angeles Lakers five years ago in the trade that brought Shaquille O'Neal to South Florida, have made the free-agent forward an offer to return and help Wade once again. The team has not revealed terms of the offer, although it's believed to be a five-year package that could be worth around $35 million. "I want Lamar to do what's best for him and his family because we love him as family, but on the other hand, we want him back home, to come home," Wade said Friday in a telephone interview. "His house is still there. It'd be exciting to see what happens (Sportsline)."
Wade makes a strong case. The Lakers have not shown that they truly want him back. Odom still has a house in Miami. Wade seems to love him, and the Heat are starting to turn into a real team again. This might really happen, and as we saw with Boston getting Rasheed, a close friend who is a star on the team can throw a lot of weight.
