Times. Good thing they don't own the team, we would've never got Artest, overpaid Ariza, and now this. The reason the Lakers can sign him for cheap this year in the first place is because nobody has any dough. I think (and I haven't done any research on this) it's because of all these expiring contracts that so many teams have been hoarding. Next year is the '10-'11 free agent sweepstakes that so many teams have been waiting for. If we don't sign Odom to a multi-year deal now, someone will offer him a much more lucrative deal next year, because so many teams will have the cap space to do it. Odom will be next year's "Didn't get Lebron, Wade, or Bosh" consolation prize, and they'll be able to throw all that "Lebron" money (or at least a good chunk of it) at HIM. Lakers need to just keep negotiating with him. The windows not closing on us the way it was with Ariza because Odom will only see the MLE anywhere else he goes. That’s a stupid idea by the L.A.

We don't want to be the spurs, yes they win but are not entertaing at all to watch that is why the ratings are horrible when they are in the finals and that is why KB deserves 30 mil a year, the most entertaing person in the NBA period.

Nate is too small and Kidd is too old. This thread is about Candyman and IMO, he will be back. My guess is that he will take a 3 year deal but it's going to have to be in the $8mil per year range to get it done. Enough with the Nate and Kidd talk. Nate is too small and Kidd is too old.
