Lakers' forward Lamar Odom will earn $11.4 million this season, not $14.1 million as it is often reported.

$14.1 million is Odom's salary cup number, but he's only being paid $11.4 million by Los Angeles this season.

Odom received money from a "trade kicker" clause in his contract after he was dealt from Miami, and that money was paid in a lump sum up-front.

For salary cap purposes, however, it is parceled out each year.
