NBA champion Lakers pull offer to Odom - report

UNITED STATED.The NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers have withdrawn an offer to free agent Lamar Odom after the 10th-year forward did not respond to the proposal, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

The report said Lakers owner Jerry Buss had offered Odom either a four-year deal for 36 million dollars or a three-year contract worth 30 million dollars but has broken off all talks after being snubbed.

Odom, who turns 30 in November as the NBA's 2009-2010 campaign begins, made 14.1 million dollars this past season, when the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals.

It was the last year of a six-season deal worth 63 million dollars signed in 2003 when Odom was playing with the Heat.

Odom averaged 12.3 points and 9.1 rebounds a game coming off the bench during the Lakers' playoff run. His agent, Jeff Schwartz, reportedly sought about 50 million dollars over five years.

The Times, citing unnamed team officials, said Buss was unhappy Odom was talking to Dallas and Miami but refusing to speak with the Lakers. Miami and Dallas could offer Odom a five-year deal worth up to 34 million dollars.
