Look I said from the first game, I now understand why Laker fans used to call this guy dumb. He makes so many mistakes that it really blows your mind for a player of his talent.
Doesn't look like Mav fan is smiling now
Sources: Odom Stressed By Offseason Turmoil
Jan 12, 2012 10:44 AM EST
Team sources say Lamar Odom has often appeared stressed by what they believe is the mental burden of an overwhelming offseason.
"I thought my game was equipped to play anywhere and everywhere,” he added. “I'm not prepared, I guess, to play. I don't know if there is anything more to say."

so who won in that deal...dallas or LA?![]()
and LO isn't dumb he's just not focused and hasn't been for awhile...He's a Kardashian now not a baller...![]()
The Clippers.
He is a great team-mate, a willing passer and is pretty good at everything except FT's but he only really is very good at rebounding and driving left.
The problem for Odom in Dallas is he is not better than Dirk at PF offensively or Marion at SF defensively so he probably won't see many crunch minutes on this team especially with Mahinmi and Haywood playing well RC has no reason to go small.
Odom could still help a team I would still want him back, but he was gonna cost us $18 mill so it made no business sense for us to keep him. I just thought we moved him too quick. Im sure we could of got something of value or a higher draft pick.
But I agree for a player so gifted he makes dumb fouls or charges at bad times. Plus in the clutch only Pau and Ron did I trust less, late with the game on the line.
they got a guard with bad knees? How's that winning![]()
we unloaded him at the right time...![]()
Literally nobody. Y'all traded away a huge piece of your last two championship teams for nothing and Dallas traded for a sad sack under-achieving disappointment
hahaha, nice spin. Yea you really dodged a bullet on that one. I'd be super psyched too if my team somehow avoided adding CHRIS PAUL to our franchise!!!
Boy did the Clippers ever lose out on that one!!
. You may lighten up on his sphincter now.
Lamar Odom in his whiny, bald headed, wish-he-was-in-LA ass. Even Vince Carter has found a way to contribute. Its not fair to the Mavs that he plays like cuz he misses sucking Kobe's . Man the up, be a professional, and do what you are paid to do, you you.
I'm a trend setter.
I set trends.
Isn´t that the same guard you dreamed of playing for the Lakers?
Bro, I have been saying that for years. Get over yourself.
He's not a good fit for the Mavs. I was surprised when they signed him tbh.
Maybe he can get a doctor's excuse for his daughter's eyeball and come on back to Pappy in Los Angeles.
Abso- ing-lutely....You can have either Luke Walton or Luke Walton pick your poison...
lol stressed while getting paid millions to play a game
Can ya imagine the -storm though if it were topsy turvy=he was traded from Dallas to us and had this dipsy-do at ude? YIKES! Buried in Texas this ain't Media's cup of tea. They're giving it short shrift. Just not worth it.
I dont know why Laker fan is laughing.
I wonder who theyre going to blame this season when Lamar Odom isnt there to make huge plays to bail out Kobe Bryant in the playoffs.
When Kobe goes one-on-four, throws up an air ball and Lamar isn't there to save it from going out of bounds and drop it off to Gasol, I wonder who theyre going to blame it on.
From the sounds of the early season, it looks like its going to be Gasol as the scape-goat.
^I believe that's why Odom was traded to begin with---and then to end with....was his inability to prop up Bryant in last season's playoffs. And why Gasol & Bynum are on that exact same banana peel.
