lamar odom

Even Kobe Bryant can't figure out why the Los Angeles Lakers apparently are trading Lamar Odom to one of their biggest rivals.

"To be honest with you, I don't like it," Bryant said Sunday when the Lakers showed up for their third day of training camp knowing their top reserve probably will be shipped to the Dallas Mavericks for nothing but a trade exception.

The Chris Paul circus is all but over. The Lakers are set to acquire Paul in a three-team trade that will send Pau Gasol to Houston and Lamar Odom to New Orleans, reports Sam Amick.

First, Lamar Odom won the NBA's Sixth Man Award. Then, when their marquee players struggled, he led the Lakers to a crucial 87-78 playoff win over the Hornets, writes Lee Jenkins.

Andrew Bynum had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Lamar Odom scored 19 points and Phil Jackson became the winningest coach in Lakers history in Los Angeles' 99-97 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have tied the knot. The Los Angeles Lakers forward and the reality TV starlet were married Sunday at a private residence in Beverly Hills.

The Lakers are the modern day version of the old Chicago Bulls. They have Kobe in the role of Jordan, they have Phil Jackson in the role of well Phil Jackson, they have a taller version of Scottie Pippen in Paul Gasol, and they now have their Dennis Rodman in one Ron Artest.

They have also solved the drama with celebrated 6th man Lamar Odom. This is a really good team, which got a lot better in the off season.
