Lamar Odom says he wants to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, and he hopes the team will keep both him and Trevor Ariza.
Odom and Ariza become unrestricted free agents on July 1.
"You want to keep the team together," Odom said. "We just won a championship, you don't want to see one piece not there. Hopefully we can keep everybody here."
Odom met with coach Phil Jackson and general manager Mitch Kupchak during an individual 20-minute exit interview Thursday.
"Hopefully, it won't take that long," he said, joking about upcoming contract negotiations. "In and out, three years, 80 million."
