“I guess that means I’m a Laker if the trade didn’t go through. I don’t know what to do for the Lakers. I’m even weirded out by the league doing what they did. I don’t know what to do.

Imagine how Pau [Gasol] feels. Pau came to the Lakers and played here for four years, went to the Finals and lost, won two NBA championships and then got swept [by the Dallas Mavericks this year]. Wow! Imagine how he must feel.

Man, I’m just in total disbelief about all of this. They don’t want my services, for whatever reason. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I was proud to be a Laker, so I’ll try to help them in the process as much as possible.”

- Lamar Odom on the current trade/non-trade situation between the Lakers & Hornets.

regardless of what happens, this man bleeds purple and gold

Shame on you Lakers.  I’m honestly so disappointed with the direction that most professional sports are headed in this day and age.  It used to be about the sport and teamwork, now it’s all about the money and business.  Athletes have essentially become pieces in a giant game of chess played by the men in suits, and the sad part is that most of them willfully accept this selling out for the large paycheck.
