and i see that it says andrew has a qualifying offer in 09-10, but i keep reading these reports that his contract is done after next year (08-09). i don't quite understand the situation.
at any rate, i don't think jerry wants to hit the 90 million mark so something's got to give. the team doesn't even gross more than $170 million a year i don' tthink.

Kobe is not going to turn down another Max Deal for 100 Million.
Bynum's "Contract" is done after next year, but the Lakers are guaranteed to hold on to him until 09-10 either by him agreeing to the qualifying deal, or by us match any offer he receives. (Obviously, we could also not match that deal. But that isn't happening.) We could also negotiate a new deal with him at this time.
Once again, unless Odom take a big pay cut. It's more than likely going to be either/or for Bynum and Odom. Pick one. And Buss, is going to pick the 22 year old over the 30 year old.
