Odom appears, says he's still ``hopeful'' to return to the Lakers


By Ramona Shelburne on July 13, 2009 8:19 PM



The negotiations between Lamar Odom's agent and the Lakers took a turn for
the worse Monday afternoon, but it didn't stop Odom from attending a
celebration at the Nokia Theater for the release of the Lakers championship
DVD.

Odom was about an hour and a half late, but said he wanted to attend to
because ``These are my brothers. We have a whole DVD about our season, it
just seems surreal. You don't ever know when or how or if you're going to
experience this again.''

It's hard to say if it was the traffic on the way to downtown L.A. that was
causing the change in mood, but it Odom certainly didn't seem as calm or cool
as he normally does.

Absolutely no one expected the negotiations to take this long and while he
clearly wants to return to the Lakers, it was clear the process has worn on
him.

``It's business, you know what I'm saying,'' he said. ``It takes a little bit
of the fun out of the game, but it's part of it.''

Asked whether he felt at all unloved or unappreciated by the Lakers, Odom
paused and said, ``Ummm, it's just the way it is. It'll pay off.''

He did however acknowledge a bit of disappointment the negotiations haven't
gone as well as he'd hoped.

``It's crazy because if you think about my career and playing basketball and
somebody trying to do all the things to help a team win a championship, I
felt like I've done that you know,'' he said. ``But it'll pay off. It'll pay
off.''

Odom said he'd been laying low since the season ended and had made a point of
not negotiating through the media because it was his intention to return to
the Lakers and he didn't want to influence the process taking place between
his agent and the Lakers.
