Lamar Odom staying with Lakers

After a rocky free-agent courtship, Odom agreed on a multiyear contract Thursday to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers, keeping intact most of the roster that won the clubs 15th NBA title this summer.

Lakers spokesman John Black confirmed an agreement, but wouldnt discuss specifics. Odom still hasnt signed the deal, but could do so as early as Friday.

The contract, which is expected to contain three guaranteed years and a fourth-year option, maintains the Lakers core of Kobe Bryant(notes), Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher and Odom alongside new teammate Ron Artest. Odoms return means Los Angeles likely will be favored to win another Western Conference title—and thats what the 6-foot-10 Odom said he prized most during his eventful few weeks as a free agent.

Odom, a 10-year NBA veteran, proved his determination to win last season when he accepted and thrived in a reserve role for the Lakers, averaging 12.3 points and 9.1 rebounds during the postseason.
