San Antonio and Phoenix are interested in trying to sign Odom. Both teams are trying to clear salary-cap space to see if they can get a deal done with Odom, who is looking for at least a four-year deal worth an average of $10 million a year.

Suns Coach Alvin Gentry is familiar with Odom, having coached him when they were both with the Clippers from 2000 to 2003.

San Antonio is looking for a versatile power forward to join perennial All-Star Tim Duncan after the Spurs traded Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto to acquire small forward Richard Jefferson.

Only a handful of teams currently have enough salary-cap room to sign Odom or Ariza: Detroit, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Atlanta, Toronto, Portland and perhaps Sacramento.

"There are not a lot of teams," Kupchak said. "There's a couple, but it only takes one team to make an offer."

I'd love to trade Hill and snatch Boozer from Utah. He is a UFA and Utah isn't going to get much for Boozer because no GM is going to take him for his word after what he did to Cleveland.

Harrington and trash for Boozer. Get it done Donnie.

dude, this is an Odom thread.

Does Lamar Odom leaving damage the Lakers that much? I don't think it does provided Ariza stays put.

EpicFAIL. Boozer plays no defense, commands too much money and doesn't run the floor that well. He would stink it up in this offense. I would rather keep Lee.
You know I gonna spin wit it

I dont see how Odom really fits with the San Antonio team. I dont think Popavich and him would get along.

Yeah... the Spurs could be trouble. Anybody know if you can S&T two players for each other? Odom for Nate and filler?

I want him as a one year rental.

I want to free up space for 2 max deals in 2010.

I think there are salary dumps that would cost a lost less resources to obtain.

Parker and Jefferson are young. Don't see a problem.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Can we please think for ourselves instead of taking every rumor that floats across cyberspace as gospel? The Spurs already have $72MM committed to the cap this year, of which approximately $60MM is allocated to Duncan, Parker, Ginobli, and Jefferson. The only way they could clear cap space to offer Odom more than the mid-level exception would be to trade 2 of the above players to teams already under the cap.

Odom isn't worth 10m, he's worth about 7.2m. He is a weak-mind candy eater. If someone gives him 4yr/40m, I will retire.

Why would SA care about that extra $2.8 mil? They're not trying to get under the cap and Odom is a very good 2-way player (as you're clearly acknowledging by saying he's worth $7.2 mil).
