It might be good come playoff time.. although he's not getting any younger..
I'm not counting the Cavs out at all.. i'm sure they'll learn from their mistakes and experiences only makes them better.. they need shaq to stayhealthy tho..

I know that. I thought you were talking about somebody else saying they match up well with the Magic right now.

I don't see Magloire being a big contributer but he'll be fine as a reserve again. I would think the younger guys will get more time to get experiencefor possible development but what the hell do I know?
Oh, and Andre Miller on Portland would be a very good pickup, but I'm mixed on Heinrich in PHI. That team needs a vocal leader, I just don't think AIis anything more than a glorified role player.

Why re-sign Anthony if we were gonna keep Magloire ?
We need to find a way to get rid of Blount desperately

[h1]BSO Exclusive: Lamar Odom To Resign With Lakers 4 years/40 Million[/h1]
By BonaFide Sports Expert Robert Littal on July 22, 2009 3:37 PM | Permalink | Comments (21) | TrackBacks (0)
Sources close to Lamar Odom have told BSO that Odom will resign with the Lakers.
Odom will sign a 4 year 40 million dollar contract to stay with the champs.
The change of heart came after Lamar reached out to Dr. Jerry Buss. The two of them had a close door meeting in Las Vegas yesterday where they were able to reach an agreement.
Remember where you heard it first.
As more details come in, we will update you

JOHN IRELAND OF Espn 710 is saying that he spoke to people closest to Lamar
and he says Buss is not putting the offer back on the table.
The lakers organization feel his market value only worth 6 Million and Buss was willing to surpass his market value.
But Lamar passed on it
He also said that his agent advised him to take the offer, but Odom himself wanted more.
He believes the previous 10 mill offer will not come back to the table!
Ireland is calling that bsports website as BS. Buss is in Hawaii with his family.
Damn...

The press release was brief. Its impact will be profound.
The announcement Wednesday evening a resolution has been reached avoiding arbitration and allowing the Pacers to waive Jamaal Tinsley brings welcome closure for the franchise and the player.
The Pacers regain a roster spot, no trivial matter.
With the re-signing of forward Josh McRoberts Wednesday afternoon, the Pacers have 11 players under contract. That does not include second-round pick A.J. Price or veteran point guard Earl Watson, who reportedly will sign with the Pacers once he clears waivers later this week.
Tinsley can seek what he desperately needs, a fresh start in a new locale.
"This ends a very difficult period for all parties involved," said Larry Bird, President of Basketball, in the statement released by the Pacers. "We are pleased to have this resolved."
The resolution means there will be no arbitration hearing next week and the Pacers will instead waive Tinsley. If he is not claimed during the seven-day waiver period, he will become an unrestricted free agent.
"Jamaal and I would like to thank the Pacers for working on a resolution to this and Jamaal and I are sorry things didn't work out," said Tinsley's agent, Raymond Brothers. "We both wish the Pacers the best of luck in the future."
The situation had long since ceased being a distraction to the team. Tinsley hasn't been around for more than a year and the Pacers have an entirely new look at the point guard position.
His presence hasn't been felt in quite awhile.
Consider: of the players on the roster now, only five were with the Pacers the last time Tinsley played in a game (Feb. 5, 200: Danny Granger, Jeff Foster, Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy and Travis Diener.
But here's the thing: his absence no longer will be felt.
The Pacers moved on long ago.
Now, so can Tinsley.
Case closed.

Wow, finally eh?
It's about time.
I honestly still think he can still start, it'll be interesting to see where he goes.

Again, LO turned down 3/30. No way Buss comes back and says, nevermind, here's 4/40.
He's already paying the LT. When nobody out there is gonna offer LO 10M, why should he? Especially after he turned it down the first go around

i think LO wanted to be secured, long term, not about the money.
and buss knows damn well that w/o LO, they're not getting back to where they are now.
the most they can do, is pull a denver like last year and trade someone for a second round pick+cash.

I'm starting to think a one year deal is in the future for Lamar and the Lakers if they can't compromise on a long term deal.
