Lamar Odom will forever be linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, rising as one of the best players in the league during his seven-season run with the purple and gold. He became a beloved figure during that time, and fans were thrilled to see him around the coaching staff during pre-draft workouts recently.
The Lakers and Odom discussed a player-development coaching role within the past several months, reports Shams Charania of The Vertical. It doesn’t sound like Lamar will be taking on that position just yet, though.
Odom sat down with Charania to discuss a variety of Lakers-related topics, even revealing that he’s also spoken with the franchise about signing a contract so he can properly retire as a member of the purple and gold.
