More on Lamar:

The five-year $34 million deal is much less than the three-year $27 million offer he reportedly got from the Lakers, but it some ways NBA contracts are about feeling respected. Money usually talks louder than pride, but not always. Of course, there's no state income tax in Florida, so maybe it all evens out in the long run.

If the Lakers really only offered Lamar $27m over 3, and Pat Riley is flying from Florida to LA today, the lack of income tax in Florida really might influence Odom's decision.
