Lakers Pull Offer

As more news emerges on the Lamar Odom negotiations I'm starting to worry like Trevor Ariza before him, that depending on your POV, LO is either overplaying his hand or pushing his luck. Both Elliott Teaford of the Daily News and Broderick Turner of the LAT report the Lakers offered Odom a choice of three years at $30 million, or four at $36 million. Apparently, the offers have been available for a week, but Odom and his agent, Jeff Schwartz, have been unresponsive. This, and I can comfortably assume I'm soft-pedaling here, seems to have... um... annoyed Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Now both offers are off the table. --LINK
