The pendulum that is Lamar Odom has swung from one coast to the other. According to Adrian Wojnarowski and his “sources“, the free agent forward is “leaning toward signing with Miami.”  “It’s close, but it’s not done,” said one source. From a “rumor” of Lamar’s return to “sources” saying he’s packing for South Beach, the Odom story has the symptoms [...]

  • I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST FOR LAMAR ODOM TO RETURN BACK TO MIAMI.ITS WHERE HE AVG.17.5 POINTS AND 10 RB PER GAME.HE WAS A MUCH BETTER PLAYER IN MIAMI THAN HE WAS IN LA.HIS NUMBERS PROVE IT.IF MIAMI SIGNS ODOM AND CARLOS BOOZER THEY WOULD BE TOUGH TO BEAT IN THE EAST AND COULD WIN ANOTHER NBA TITLE.

  • He would really shine if he goes back to Miami..he will also have a positive leader(Wade)on that team instead of a negative one(Bryant)

  • Exactly how is Bryant a negative leader??? I think Lamar should stay put. He has a better chance of winning a couple of more titles and more money overall if he stay with Los Angeles. As far as his ability to produce and be effective is soley up to Lamar and his willingness to go out and play hard in every single game. Last season proven that it's not the enviornment that has Lamar not producing, because seemingly when he felt like playing, he put it down. The Lakers has the best offense for the kind of player he is...he is not limited to the post as most men are of his height, but he brings the ball up, post up and play wing.... I love him and want him in Los Angeles....and if he has a desire to win, he should want to stay here!!!

Lamar Odom gives Miami a look
