When Lamar Odom received the news that he was being traded by the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, he didn’t exactly hide his disappointment. He made his thoughts on the matter pretty clear.
His feelings were somewhat mutual among Mavs fans who have spent the last several years “hating” him during his tenure with the Lakers.
At the same time, though many Dallas fans were still angry about his behavior towards Dallas in the conference finals last season, most were excited that a player of his caliber would be headed to the Big D.
After all, who wouldn’t want a player that was coming off a year in which he was averaging 14.5 points and 8.8 rebounds a game? Who wouldn’t welcome the NBA’s “6th Man of the Year” to their own team?
However, unfortunately for both sides, things haven’t gone exactly the way that the fans, as well as Odom himself, would have liked.
At least not yet.
Through his 19 games with Dallas this season...
