Forget all that good vibe about Lamar Odom re-signing with the Lakers. Mitch Kupchak’s gut feeling is that it won’t happen.

Kupchak said Monday he was “not as hopeful” of reaching a deal with Odom as he was last week. He said that the Lakers and Odom’s representative, agent Jeff Schwartz, “are not on the same page” and there are no further talks planned.

The Lakers were believed to have offered Odom $8 million-plus, but Odom has been seeking at least $10 million.

“I understand it’s a business, but I’m suprised it has taken this long to get to this point,” he said at halftime of the Lakers-Clippers Summer League game.

Sooner the better, because the time is running out & there are no takers with big money out there. I understand the Lakers have offered him more than 8 mil.That's pretty good. Lamar if you're listening, please accept the offer otherwise you'll get little or nothing. I would hate to see that happen to you. You had been a great laker player but your own agent has screwed you over by not aggressively pursuing early on the teams that could have signed you up for more money. Now the time has run out, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. If the Lakers were nasty they could easily offer you way less & that would be very unfortunate thing for a player of your caliber. As we get older things don't happen as favorably as in young age. You well know your game has been up & down Mr. Odam, stick with Kobe you might win another championship, thus raise your market value in future. Good luck!

Not to mention, Artest is going to start at the 3, and then when Pau needs a rest, you want Artest to move to the 4? You don't think Artest is going to rest as well? C'mon man, THINK!!! LO is 6'10 and does well coming off the bench as a backup PF. You might not like LO, but the fact remains, he was a critical part of the championship team. [Comment ID #79346 Will Be Quoted Here]
