Could Lamar Odom find himself donning purple and gold once more? According to Radar online (h/t New York Post) the Los Angeles Lakers have reached out to Odom and told him they’re prepared to sign him if he goes to rehab to kick whatever drug habit he has: The Los Angeles Lakers have told troubled [...]

Pau Gasol has a friend in Kobe Bryant. A good one. A mere few days removed from essentially calling himself and Pau an unstoppable offensive duo, Kobe took his support of the seven footer up a notch.

Trading Josh Smith isn’t going to be easy for the Atlanta Hawks. It’s not that there won’t be a market for Smith, because there will be. Though Smith’s attitude and lack of experience on a contender could prevent him from landing the max contract he so desperately seeks, neither will be a deal-breaker for a [...]
