GOT ‘EM COACH PRO-TIP: If you want to stay on a team, put the team first
Lamar Odom played his best season last Fall and Winter. He won the 6th Man of the Year award, and the Lakers would have been ever more lost than they were had Lamar not been a stabling force with the team (what I’m saying is, if it weren’t for Lamar, the Lakers would have been swept out of the Playoffs by Dallas in 3 games.).
I love Lamar Odom. He’s one of my favorite Los Angeles Lakers of all-time, but if you want to stay on the Lakers, you have to put the Lakers first. Don’t ever choose to film a reality show (with the Kardashians, no less) and give that show access to your locker room, and your real professional life.
NBA basketball is a business. The Lakers tried to trade Lamar Odom because they’re following the tried and true business maxim: buy low, sell high. He was part of a package that would have landed the Lakers the best point guard in basketball since John Stockton.
But if you think him choosing to film a Ryan Seacrest/Kardashian/E! Entertainment Television reality show during the season, at the Staples Center, didn’t rub people in the Lakers organization the wrong way, you’re wrong.
*Put basketball, and your team first, and you’ll always get the benefit of the doubt.
Now, they’re doubting you’ll benefit the team.

Very good point! I honestly did not know taping for their show went as far as taping during the season. I love Odom as well, but once he became a Kardashian and became a part of that lifestyle, he was almost saying being a Laker wasn’t enough
