Even though he just moved back home to L.A. with his wife Khloe Kardashian, Lamar might have to move away once more — if he wants to stay in the NBA! HollywoodLife.com has all of the EXCLUSIVE details on his troubled career!
Lamar Odom may not be able to play basketball professionally anymore — neither team in Los Angeles wants him and his drama-fueled relationship with his wife Khloe Kardashian!
Lamar, 32, will not go back with the Clippers or Lakers, sources tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
“It is highly unlikely that Lamar will be offered a contract with the Clippers,” a source close to the team tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He played for them before, but the Clippers are going to focus their off-season on other players like Ray Allen and other free agents. They also want to re-sign Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and will avoid Lamar as much as possible. They don’t want him and the media circus he would bring to the team. They need veteran leadership that they think he will not be able to offer.”
Do YOU think Lamar will get another job in the NBA, HollywoodLifers?

He needs to make boundaries with this kardashian. They want to control him and they want him to do their ways doing things.

First of all, if someone picks him up, they are stuck with his
$8 million salary next year….that “aint happening”.
He was the “6th man” winner last year with the Lakers which says a lot about his talent and drive “pre Khloe” era. Nothing but downhill ever since….
I’m suprised he didn’t run the first time he saw her with no makeup :-P
All that girl is missing is a broom to ride and a brain to take out and play with.

I don’t blame Lamar at all. Have the female Kar,s ever heard of the MAN CAVE. Instead of trying to LECTURE him out of his depression, leave him alone for awhile instead of calling mommy while being taped. I’m sure Odom was very upset about that, which will add to his present problems.

Wow! That’s going to be a tough one. Obviously he has the talent. But he’s going to have to prove to future teams that his heart is in it, that he is grateful for the opportunity to play and that his personal problems have been dealt with. And they are going to want to know that that he will not be bringing the Kardashian baggage with him. Looks to me like that would entail divorcing Khloe. I mean, if he really loves her, he can stay married and even stay on the show and maybe get a job doing something else like coaching. Or do nothing at all, I’m sure he has enough money saved to retire comfortably.

Lamar can play basketball again it just won’t be in Cali. Maybe he can work for the Kardashians. I did read pimp mama was his manager.
