Lakers GM Kupchak `hopeful' of Odom's return

odom lake payer is man help win playeoff . man mabe money is family . i think pay l$16.MIllion mabe 4 years

Sign Odom and drop Sasha and Farmar. Showed no help in the playoffs. Odom did! This is a no brainer....hello ! Thus elimanating tax break. Should have offered them to Houston instead of Aria........what a joke !

what's another $2 million for another Larry O'Brien that Lamar could definitely help in bringing once again to the Lakers team. Go ahead Mitch...sign him.

i suggest to the lakers management that they should focus next time on their old players to ratainor players that give them its 15 title and soon, so that lakers will defend their title better and much better as they added defensive specilaist artest and other defensive players...i'm hoping that they will much focus on defense this season since most of the teams now improve their line ups and strategy to be a champiuonship caliber team, hope they take note about that....i'm hoping some players to be sentimental on each passion towards the team unity not the money itself but consider the brotherhood and cammaraderie exists between them and money can't that. hope they learn their mistakes last playoff so that they will again capture their 16 title this season..go kobe go pau, go lamar, go ron2x and go fish!!!! go lakers!!! fight fight fight!!!

man, why do this people want Lamar to take a huge paycut when people like sasha vujacic didn't nothing last season to help us win the championsihip? this is not fair to Lamar and certainly not fair to us fans.

its about business, but for me, i will take a paycut coz there r so many endorsement, tv appearing thats will pay you, dont forget your staying in hollywood...... money,,,money,,,,money!

give him his money!!!! we need him

The Lakers Organization should reach out to Lamar and work something out with him. Making these guys feel they are dispensible creates hard feelings. Lamar has proven himsef, we know what we are getting with him, we don't know what we will get with someone else. Sign him and show him how to make more money in LA from endorcements and others...WE NEED LAMAR....Rena

The Lakers organization needs to work with Lamar and create a workable contract. With Lamar we know what we are getting. With another player we dont know what we will get. Teach him how to make more money here in LA....We NEED LAMAR. ......Rena

i dont understand what the problem is, odom just take 27-30 million for 3 yrs thats the most you will get anywhere you dont know if koby will be there in 3 yrs just play hard for the next 3 yrs and see what happens you might just win another 3 championships but the fact is you wont win nothing anywhere else and you know that so if you leave then its just about the money and you go down in history being known for just another greedy basketball player or you can go down in history as team player winning several rings with the lakers plus you can play with thee best player in basketball koby bryant

i hope you do stay Lamar Odom we do need you
