Last Monday, The Vertical published a statement about Lamar Odom and the Lakers. Odom talked about the trade that happened in 2011, when they moved him to the Dallas Mavericks. He told the press this exchange finished his career and that they did it on purpose. He claimed that after that he was never the same. The most problematic thing was that they separate him from the Lakers with his two friends Pau and Kobe. He explained how hurt he was when he was separated from all the fans, the players and everyone. Lakers trade him after they lost the playoffs.
They lost the game against Dallas and they trade him even though he won the Sixth Man of the Year. He was sad that he left the team even though winning the award. Odom tried anything to stay on the team, but the decision was took since the playoffs. He started playing with the league in 1999. His first team was Los Angeles Clippers when he was the No. 4 pick. He stayed with the Clippers for four seasons, and then played a year with Miami Heat.
After that, he just stayed with the Lakers for the next seven seasons. The years with Lakers where his best as he won two championship and the last title before leaving. After the exchange, he played with the Mavericks and then with the Clippers. With each team, he played one season until he left the league years later. The news pointed out with the interview about the drug abuse he suffered in 2015. The player suffered a coma that almost took away his life. He is trying to sign with the team next season as his plan is to retire with his favorite team.
