Interesting tidbit from David Lord on Odom's contract:
Quote:
DONUT 2: Juggling Dollars...
With a 2011-12 salary of $8.9M (all of which has already been paid), Odom could be traded alone in June for a player whose salary is as large as $11.22M this season (already paid) and whose salary next season could therefore be up to $12.06M. The other team would only have to pay Odom $2.4M next season as a buyout. In the ideal scenario, that would shave almost $10M off their cap and payroll.
