So basically he'll probably retire after this season?

I'm not gonna lie, that would probably **** me up too.

Didn't know that happened.

Someone already cleared that up brotha....

The Dallas Mavericks and forward Lamar Odom have reached an agreement to end their relationship, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Monday.

Odom would not be released from the squad, however. Instead, he will be listed as inactive until the end of the season. The Mavericks then could trade him.

Odom, a reality TV star by virtue of his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, took a 10-day leave of absence this season to attend to personal issues. Upon his return, he was sent to the Mavs' NBA Development League team, though he never appeared in a game with the Texas Legends before the Mavericks returned him to their active roster.

The Mavericks acquired Odom before the start of the season, but the two parties never seemed like a fit for each other. Dallas gave up an $8.9 million trade exception to the Los Angeles Lakers for the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
Odom admitted that he came into this season out of shape and not in the right mindset after on off-season of tragedy. In July, his 24-year-old cousin was murdered and shortly after, Odom was involved in a car wreck in New York City. An SUV he was riding in struck at motorcycle, that then struck and killed a 15-year old pedestrian.

The events left Odom shaken and contemplating retirement. And after 50 games, the effects were still having a toll on him, leading to a split with Dallas.

The struggles of Odom seemed to be a distraction for a team fighting for a playoff spot, with players and coaches showing frustrations after games when asked about him.

In his final game as a Mavericks, Odom played just 4 minutes and contributed only a single rebound. Dirk Nowitzki refused to answer any questions about Odom after the game.

Odom averaged career lows of 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds during his 50-game stint. He also shot a career-low 35.2 percent from the field.

Spurs playing without their big 3 and we are still losing.

Lol Popovich is one hell of a coach! Look at the Lakers, missing Kobe, They barely beat the Gordon, Jarret Jack, Ariza - Less Hornets >_<

aspiderfreak · 04-09-2012, 10:21 PM

Thank god LAL squeaked out a win.

Bunk3rKing · 04-09-2012, 10:24 PM

So many injuries, these players need to start eating their weedies.

Yeah he is. Luckily we pulled it out.

Rose is in a boot. I doubt he's playing tonight. Good news to me!

Not that I wish Rose any sort of injury but the Knicks are beat up any help they can get.

Seriously? He's wasn't showing any signs of an injury the other night...

PM6 Scenerio Player · 04-10-2012, 12:00 PM

Hes being re-evaluated today but had a boot on Monday. I'm sure he will get on the floor but maybe not.

They are just hyping up the match up... i hope.....

nsab3001 · 04-10-2012, 02:54 PM

Yeah, Rose has been injured so much this season. >_< I still think Bulls win this game. Tibs will certainly make some adjustments, and since Rose wasn't exactly shooting lights out, like Melo was in the last game, the Bulls should be taking it.

aspiderfreak · 04-10-2012, 03:06 PM

2 good games on espn tonight!
