They dumped odom because he was already mentally fragile and freaked over the botched trade. IMO.

I seriously doubt he will be back.

Might just take next years 8mil and retire.

He shouldn't be covering the NBA if he doesn't know basic Sheet like that.

I got spoiled ready Lacy Banks of the Chicago Sun Times. RIP Lacy, Helluva sports writer.

He is an LA lifer. He breathes Los Angeles only. I bet when he played for the Lakers and during their road trips, Lamar probably cried himself to sleep in his hotel room for 41 games out of the season.

Maybe he will join the Clippers for something like the veterans exception.

Likely since he burned his bridge with the Lakers unless Kobe can convince him and management for Lamar to return next season. I just don't see him leaving Los Angeles plus other teams would be reluctant to pursue him knowing he has alot of things going on there(tv show in LA, clothing line, etc.) He might pull this stunt again.

The other day, his show appeared on the E channel and the episode was the one where he got traded to the Hornets. It showed him couped up in his home lying on the couch feeling pity for himself and not answering the doorbell when his friend came to visit. He then called his wife about wanting to leave LA since they didn't want him by trading him in the first place. It also showed his wife finding a rental home in Dallas like 5 minutes from American Airlines arena so that he could go to practice and be near the Mavericks. It showed him coming home after practice just laying on the couch doing nothing and complaining about body aches, etc....pretty lazy and lackluster attitude.

I think Kobe has less and less pull with the Lakers.

I don't think we will ever see Lamar there again and he is obviously having issues, perhaps with depression so I have sympathy for the guy. I can see him doing the veterans thing like D-fish and land for vet min with a contender with a weak bench like Miami etc.

Well, "we" badly overestimated him then.

I'm still wondering if he EVER set foot in a classroom on his way to getting UNLV and Rhode Island in trouble before he hot-stepped it to the NBA...

Im not sure why anyone is really surprised...Odom has always been soft, and always been an underachiever. I think the only reason he succeeded with the Lakers was Kobe and Phil. This really isnt news, and really isnt surprising.
