MISMATCH IS A LAKER MATCH AGAIN

THE WALKING MISMATCH IS COMING BACK TO LAKERS.

Lamar Odom has decided to return to the Lakers. Sources have confirmed to 710 ESPN's Mason/Ireland radio show. This is awesome news for Laker fans. They now have without a doubt the most versatile team in the NBA and are odds on favorites to repeat as NBA Champions. 

Lamar has agreed to sign with the Lakers for 4 years, 33 Million. The 4th year is believed to be at a team option. Portland and Miami were serious contenders for Lamar. It is now being reported that it was Lamar not his agent Jeff Schwartz who originally turned down the first Laker offer. 

But, when it was all said and done, Lamar wanted to stay a Laker.

Live on 7 Million a year

Lamar Odom and the Lakers should come together on a 7 or 8 million dollar deal with Lamar getting an option next year so he can test free agency again. Because the NBA Salary Cap has been lowered and the Lakers Luxury tax situation, Lamar is not going to get 10 million a year from them. He deserves it but the market does not call for it. Also, not to many teams are in the market for a power forward right now. So the Lakers are essentially would be bidding against themselves if they went higher. 

Lamar should take a page out of the Ron Artest book of reasoning. "If I can't live on 33 million for five years then I can't live."

Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls...it just might happen. Utah should never in a million years let this guy go. Western Conference teams and the Lakers in particular will be happy if he moves to the Bulls and the Eastern Conference.
