Nba, Lamar Odom | featured news

With Mo Williams finally deciding Friday to exercise his $8.5-million contract option, the Clippers and Dallas Mavericks were able to agree to a four-team trade that will bring Lamar Odom back to the Clippers team that drafted him in 1999.

When the Dallas Mavericks traded for Lamar Odom last weekend, they didn't just receive a star forward: they're also getting a gigantic media empire. The long NBA trade saga that finally saw Odom leave Los Angeles will mean that wife Khloe Kardashian will also leave her longtime home. "Khloe and Lamar," the couple's reality series, will focus in part on the move and its ramifications for their marriage, E!, the family's TV network, said on Tuesday.

The Lakers made a trade Saturday, but it wasn't for Chris Paul or Dwight Howard. Two days after getting rebuffed by the NBA in an apparent deal for Paul, the Lakers sent forward Lamar Odom to Dallas for the Mavericks' first-round pick in the 2012 amateur draft.

An epic trade that would have made Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant teammates in Los Angeles was vetoed Thursday night by N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern in a decision that rocked the league just as it emerged from a five-month lockout... New Orleans would have received Lamar Odom from the Lakers, and Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Goran Dragic from the Rockets. Martin is among the league’s top scorers, Odom is a versatile big man and Scola is a skilled and rugged power forward. In addition, the Hornets would have received the Knicks’ first-round draft pick in 2012, which the Rockets acquired in a previous trade. Houston would have received Pau Gasol from the Lakers.

The Lakers forward underestimated how demanding filming 'Khloé & Lamar' would be. But shows he can handle the NBA and reality TV.

Shannon Brown scored 21 points, Kobe Bryant added 20, and the Los Angeles Lakers held off the Chicago Bulls 98-91 Tuesday night for their fifth straight victory. Lamar Odom had 21 points and eight rebounds, but the Lakers trailed early in the fourth quarter before Derrick Rose finally slowed down.

Playing upon a different court, Los Angeles Lakers basketball forward Lamar Odom has sued the Internal Revenue Service, which said he couldn’t take tax deductions for $12,000 in sports fines and another $178,000 spent getting himself in shape.

Carlos Boozer drove the lane, and his shot was disdainfully blocked by Lamar Odom. The Utah forward grabbed the ball to try another - and Pau Gasol took a turn swatting it....
