Lakers offer to Odom ``a little north of $8 million'' a year
OC Register's Janis Carr bumped into Lakers assistant GM Ronnie Lester at summer league in Las Vegas and he revealed that the Lakers offer to free agent forward Lamar Odom is now a``little north of $8 million'' and he expected a deal to get done early next week.
That would seem to jibe with reports out of Portland (one of the two teams with the requisite cap space to beat the Lakers offer) that the Trail Blazers had signed Utah power forward Paul Millsap to a four-year, $32 million offer sheet. Millsap is a restricted free agent, so Portland's cap space is now tied up for seven days, while the Jazz decide whether to match the offer.

john cedric are you stupid? that deal was 2003.....
The offer was a little north of $8M to Dr. Buss but still a little south of Paradise to LO. I think Lamar wants an offer that is North by Northwest and in a different time zone.
