he will get picked up somewhere but he'll have less leverage when it comes to negotiating his contract which might mean less money in the end. his talent doesnt bring him to a point where everyone can just overlook the fact that he might fall apart at any moment and need time off or a therapist on call just so he can be mentally ready to play on any given day. AI was crazy as hell but he was the FRANCHISE player so ppl were more willing to put up with the bsBelieve it or not teams will still pick him up. Most will just chalk it up to a bad fit.

Dumping Lamar Odom won't impact Deron Williams pursuit
Don’t spend a second worrying about whether the Mavs finally doing the right thing and dumping Lamar Odom will have any impact on the potential of Deron Williams coming to Dallas this summer.
Yes, they’re represented by the same agent, Jeff Schwartz. That doesn’t lessen the high likelihood that Williams, who grew up in nearby The Colony, will have a max-contract homecoming as a free agent this summer.
Guess what? If anything, Schwartz owes the Mavs a major favor at this point. He orchestrated the deal that shipped Odom from L.A. to Dallas after the emotionally soft reigning Sixth Man of the Year got his feelings hurt because the Lakers tried to include him in a blockbuster to get Chris Paul. The Mavs got a player in horrendous shape physically and worse shape mentally.
The Mavs more than held up their end of the bargain. They bent over backward trying to get a man with an $8.9 million salary – plus a $2.4 million buyout due by June 29 – to care enough to play hard for the defending NBA champions.
Heck, Mark Cuban spent a couple of days practically giving Khloe’s little Lam Lam foot massages in the W Hotel while the rest of the Mavs were on the road during the most difficult schedule grind of the season. And Cuban still stuck up for Odom afterward, pumping nothing but sunshine about the NBA’s most underachieving player this season.
“You never see us calling out or talking [negatively] about players,” Cuban said last week, speaking in general terms when asked about the drama that had unfolded in Orlando. “If anything, if I’m doing something relative to a player, I’m taking a bullet for him as opposed to shooting one at them.”
Cuban took a bunch of bullets for Odom. Schwartz surely knows that. The only potential benefit of Odom’s awful four months with the Mavs is that it provided further evidence that the Mavs will do everything in their power to try to help a player be successful.
The Mavs should have dumped Odom weeks ago. There was a strong feeling in the locker room that he never should have been welcomed back after Odom’s bizarre, self-imposed, 10-day midseason sabbatical. This is all on Odom.
If Schwartz isn’t sure about that, he can just ask Jason Kidd, the client who has made the power-broker agent more money than anybody. You can rest assured that Kidd wasn’t thrilled that Odom refused to commit to actually trying to help the Mavs repeat.
Kidd, by the way, has also made it clear he’d be happy to back up his golf buddy Williams in Dallas next season.

Ii went to that alley site to see if they had anything + i think they are BS tbh, but since we are waiting for the real stuff . .
Allegedly
Lamar is done. He's going back to NY. E is scrambling to revamp the show. Dirk + Lamar got into a confrontation. Khloe + him will be over by summer. Khloe has been staying in a hotel for weeks.
That's all i read. Personally, i find some of it suspect but i guess we'll see.

Link please.
Wonder if he will play oversees like he wanted to. If he doesn't get a job soon, he may be on Kris' sh$t list and not her precious son in law.
I wonder if his manager, his real manager not Kris, has suggested that he cutback or do away with 'Khloe & Lamar' show. He really doesn't need all the distractions.
Must be nice to basically get suspended, and still get paid $2.5million to do nothing. Guarantee we will see pics of the two of them in Mexico soon
No. It happened with AI but that was the only time i remember + a totally different situation. There was tons of drama that season + the Pistons were a mess with a glut of guards who mostly all played the same position and even AI didn't spend the entire season playing like crap. It hit a breaking point very late + after alot of drama between the coach and many players. And AI is no longer in the league anymore so Lamar better watch it.
This. The excuses that get made for him in the media, etc are ridiculous. There are plenty of players on teams much worse than DAL. They don't run away. They don't quit + they definitely don't take random vacations from their teams. I don't think people really get how much the Mavs extended themselves for him. They bent over backwards to make this work. Most other organizations would've fined him + benched him a long time ago. There is a reason Mark Cuban is known as a player's owner.
Considering he was the one who pushed for the trade immediately (whether you believe LAL would trade him later or not), he asked for this + TBH he choked. I'm so disappointed in his complete mental collapse + lack of professionalism on and off the court. This is what he wanted since he tried for a buy out (+ yes i believe he asked for one) so Congrats he got it. He doesn't have to play for the Mavs anymore.
Hopefully, during his time away he gets it together, takes the time to figure out whats really important in his life, + comes back stronger instead of chilling in LA getting photographed.
ETA: And seriously shut up Kobe. You've probably seen 2 DAL games all year. I know that quote is old but it's ridiculous. Kobe has no idea whats going on. He's speaking on Laker Lamar not Lamar in DAL.
I don't know why this irks me so much. I guess i expected better from him.
