Only thing is Odom is going all emo on us now. I bet Gasol was crying last night also.
Gasol actually reported to camp, Odom didn’t report and is upset that the Lakers would trade him “Although he’s done so much for the organization, and wanted to retire as a Laker”.
Yeah, and the major players out there…most clus know they can’t get their hands on…its how Joe Johnson became the richest person in basketball…true story (well had the largest contract - you know what I mean).
It just irks me because this time next year or the year after that - all we’ll here about is “such n ushc being over the cap or unable to make this or that move because of the monstrous Eric Dampier contract”.

UGH…
Sources: C’s have strongest offer for Paul
"The Celtics, sources say, are currently presenting the strongest offer, which features Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green and two first-round picks. As the Paul pursuer most willing to trade for the All-Star point guard with zero assurance that Paul will stay beyond this season, Boston is also trying to concoct multi-team scenarios that would help the Hornets come away with the package they desire for Paul, featuring at least one established veteran to help them stay relevant, one up-and-coming talent and draft picks."
Agent: C’s to acquire Keyon Dooling
"MILWAUKEE – The Boston Celtics have a deal in place to acquire veteran guard Keyon Dooling in a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks, Dooling’s agent tells The Associated Press. The Bucks are expected to receive a second-round pick in return."
Reports: C’s, Magic work Davis-Bass swap
“The Boston Celtics have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal that will send free agent forward Glen Davis to the Orlando Magic in exchange for forward Brandon Bass, according to multiple media reports.”
odom didn’t show up to practice today.
Lamar’s upset that he’s going to get traded for Ellis and change since Stern screwed us out of CP3.
Bye Bye Gilbert.

it’s about time.
I’m glad Danny Ainge sees the writing on the wall. Orlando does also…

So much to swallow in a span of a day.
Yes I said swallow.
Do I get a prize?
So when a player gets ‘amnestied’ how much of their contract do they still get?
Because I would call bullshit if I didn’t get most of my pie…

I think they will still get paid the whole salary, only thing is it helps the owners with their salary cap. Plus it can only be used once during the entire duration of the CBA. That’s why the Wizards are not gonna use it on Lewis this year.
They still get whatever they’re supposed to get. Difference between amnesty and being waived is that it doesn’t count to the team’s salary cap, and other teams can bid for the player. The winning bid helps offset the payout from the original team.
Kevin Durant MVP…jus sayin
Video: Lamar Odem Almost Crying While Hearing He’s Part of Chris Paul Trade! [Audio]
Poured his heart out for the team and wanted to retire as a Laker. Feel sorry for the guy actually.
Damn Odom needs to be under suicide watch ASAP!
Another sad day in the NBA of Roy retirement announcement…
I’m a Suns fan 'til the day I die. Add me to the Suns list!
He loved the beach and loved Candy.
Poor Lamar. Poor MILLIONAIRE.
I hate black people that are rich! I AM AN NBA FAN. Also lol at that stern Gif.
It would have been a LOT worse had there been no season. We need these youngins to get as much experience in as possible.
And I think Wall will be a beast in another year or two.
Suns waive unwanted hasbeen.
