The Mavericks will attempt to trade Lamar Odom by June 29.
Good luck with that. Despite only $2.4 million of Odom's $8.2 million 2012-13 salary being guaranteed, Mark Cuban isn't going to get much (if anything) for a player who was banned from playing by his own team. If the Mavericks can't deal him, the team will likely waive him. May 24 - 8:53 AM

Lamar Odom is reportedly hoping to play for the Knicks if the Mavericks waive him, a source tells ESPN New York.

The Knicks would be "on the top of his list," the source tells ESPN New York. "Lamar is big on being comfortable, and New York is somewhere he can be comfortable." Odom is from Queens. We expect to see a ton of speculation around Odom throughout the offseason, but the Knicks wouldn't be offering him the same money other interested teams may be able to for next year.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

The Mavericks will attempt to trade Lamar Odom prior to June 29.

If Odom is on a roster as of June 29, his team will be responsible for the full $8.2 million he's scheduled to earn in 2012-13. The more likely scenario is that the Mavs will work out a buyout with Odom, thus making him an unrestricted free agent. He'll have to earn a role with a new team after his Dallas disaster.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have decided not to do a third season of "Khloe and Lamar," sources tell TMZ.

The reasoning here is why we're interested. Odom is reportedly pulling the plug because he wants to focus on "reviving" his NBA career. According to TMZ, the ex-Mav "feels he should focus on only one project." As long as that project is basketball, Odom figures to have an impact somewhere in the 2012-13 season.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

According to team sources, the Warriors would be interested in Lamar Odom next season if the Mavs put him on the trading block.

Assuming Odom can play near last year's level (a big 'if'), he would be an incremental upgrade over the current Warriors SF quartet of Dorell Wright, Dominic McGuire, Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush. The question is whether or not the Warriors should be adding a veteran headache to a roster that isn't a good bet to make the playoffs, with or without a happy and productive Odom.

Lamar Odom and Mark Cuban had an "angry exchange" during halftime of Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, sources tell ESPN.com.

Cuban reportedly came into the locker room at halftime and asked Odom if he was "in or out." Odom, who was also reportedly habitually late all season, didn't like that and didn't take his seat on the bench until after the third quarter began. Before the Mavs' next game, the two sides had parted ways. Odom, who is making $8.9 million this season, is now getting paid to sit at home for the rest of the season.

Mavericks president Donnie Nelson cited Lamar Odom's inability/unwillingness to play hard as a main reason for the split.

The Mavs just didn't know what they were going to get out Odom on a night-to-night basis. "It's like going to war with wet gunpowder," Nelson said. Odom is making $8.9 million this season and will continue to get paid even though he won't be with the team for the rest of the season.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

Lamar Odom and the Mavericks have reached an agreement that will render him inactive for the rest of the season.

And with that, the drama that was Odom's 2011-12 season ends with an ugly thud. Last seasons's Sixth Man of the Year appeared distracted ever since landing in Dallas, struggling miserably on the way to 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in 50 games. Instead of simply releasing him, the Mavs retain the right to trade him this offseason by allowing him to leave the team. Odom was ineligible to appear in the playoffs for another team anyway since the March 23 deadline had passed. He'll need to get his head on straight before any team hands him a contract or major role next season.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

Lamar Odom did not return to Saturday's game after logging four minutes in the first quarter.

Odom isn't injured, but his poor play is injurious to the Mavericks. The team is still trying to find a productive role for him, as his versatility could be huge in the playoffs, but he's not cooperating.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

Lamar Odom returned to action on Wednesday with five points (2-of-5 shooting), five rebounds and a steal in 19 minutes of play.

Certainly not the worst we've seen from Odom this season (which is really telling of his year), but he's simply not worth using in any fantasy format.

Lamar Odom (illness) went through shootaround and is expected to play on Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Odom missed Monday's game against the Clippers due to a stomach ailment, but he's feeling well enough to return on Wednesday. He's averaging 6.9 points and 4.3 rebounds on just 35.3 percent shooting in what has really been a forgettable season.

Lamar Odom (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Odom was able to participate in Tuesday's practice, although he's dealing with weight loss from the illness. It's just another bump in the road in Odom's miserably disappointing season.

Lamar Odom (illness) will not play on Monday against the Clippers.

Odom has been struggling with the flu for a few days now, and his absence will free up about 20 minutes for the Mavs' frontcourt rotation.

Lamar Odom (illness) was sent home from Sunday's practice.

Odom was forced out of Friday's game with a 102-degree fever, and we're calling him questionable vs. the Clippers on Monday. His availability does not have significant fantasy implications.

Lamar Odom - F - Mavericks

Lamar Odom reminded owners to slap themselves silly when considering him as a fantasy option on Friday, as he scored two points on 1-of-5 shooting with two rebounds in 12 minutes.

In case the point wasn't made above, we're not going to entertain his fantasy prospects until he puts up three straight solid games and gets rid of the swing he installed in his bedroom.
