Well, looks like it’s all falling down for Lamar ‘Lam-Lam’ Odom. The former Laker who had recently found a home with the Dallas Mavericks is not with them anymore, less than 6 months after joining them. Lamar was traded to the Dallas team earlier this year in a three way exchange and it became apparent he was the most expendable of the Lakers. Ouch.
Lamar was reported to be upset at the trade and he also admitted to being depressed as he felt unwanted. His anguish showed in his stats as he reported the lowest numbers in his career; it is therefore no surprise it has come to the two parting ways. In a statement, Lamar said,
“The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it’s in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team.
I’m sorry that things didn’t work out better for both of us, but I wish the Mavs’ organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success in the defense of their championship.”
It seems the stress of being traded, his father allegedly falling ill and also allegedly the pressures of living his life in front of the camera on his wife’s show, Khloe And Lamar eventually got to him.
Ok, that’s what they say, but here is what I’m saying, mmkay. Lamar, you suck as a basketball player. Just like Kris Dumphries, before the Kardashians, no one knew who you were. You were riding on the coattails of a winning team and your incompetence was somewhat covered up by Kobe’s shine, but not for long though. That trade definitely showed you where you stood in the Lakers didn’t it? That demotion to the D-League should have been a hint for you to step it up. Stop blaming your disappointing stats on personal issues and just admit you were not that good to start with. I can bet this whole spiel of you leaving the team was Mark Cuban’s idea to save you the embarrassment of getting fired, not yours. You wouldn’t leave Lamar, I refuse to believe that because I’m sure you know no other team really wants you. If you don’t know, you are about to find out, Raptors might have a spot for you. #KhloeAndLamarTakeToronto
