Knicks sign veteran Lamar Odom to 2-year deal

The Knicks announced on Wednesday that the team had agreed to sign veteran forward Lamar Odom for the remainder of the season.

Odom’s contract, as clarified by Howard Beck of Bleacher Report, also includes a second season of non-guaranteed salary.

The move came just before the bell tolled on a disappointing season. If the timing seems curious that’s because it is; a recent back injury forced Odom to duck out of a deal with Baskonia, a team in the Spanish ACB League, and that same ailment (among other factors) will keep him sidelined in the Knicks’ final, meaningless game.
