Odom practices with second unit mainly

"We're still a long ways off," he said. "I think by next weekend we'll start to be somewhere where I would consider us kind of conditioned."

European vacation?

The Lakers haven't played an overseas exhibition since 1991, but that might change soon.

"I think the NBA is requiring teams now to go overseas once every three years," Jackson said. "I'm not sure about that, but I think there's almost like a, 'You will be called upon to go overseas during the exhibition season.' "

The Lakers played two games against French teams in Paris before the 1991-92 season.

The Lakers, who could have as many as five foreign-born players on their roster when the season begins, play Regal FC Barcelona on Oct. 18 at Staples Center.
