Lamar Odom is returning…to Miami?

The pendulum that is Lamar Odom has swung from one coast to the other.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski and his “sources“, the free agent forward is “leaning toward signing with Miami.”

"“It’s close, but it’s not done,” said one source."

From a “rumor” of Lamar’s return to “sources” saying he’s packing for South Beach, the Odom story has the symptoms of a Favre virus in its early stages.

The next sign of the infection would be a headline with the word “report” in it. At that point it might be time to call in Ed Werder for 24 Hour Odom Watch.

Apparently Odom and Jerry Buss picked up right where they left off. Both sides are not budging and the “sources” are suggesting that Dr. Buss is now offering less than previously.

Odom spent one year in Miami where he teamed with rookie sensation Dwyane Wade. After the ’03-04 season, Lamar returned to Los Angeles – this time as a Laker – as part of the trade that sent Shaquille O’Neal to the Heat.

Lake Show Life will keep you in the loop as this situation unfolds. Unlike Ed Werder, we won’t be told what we are allowed to report.
