All tag results for 'dallas mavericks'

Okay, we are SOOO confused!

First we heard that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were canceling their reality show on E! so Lamar could focus on his basketball career, then their rep said the show was NOT cancelled after all!

Finally, we have some clarification because the married couple has decided to speak for themselves. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Khloe said this:

"Our show is not cancelled. Lamar and I have chosen to take a break this summer. We've been on a whirlwind doing back-to-back shows, and we just want to take a little time off for Lamar to be with family time, kids, basketball, Olympics — you never know. So, we have a lot on our plate right now."

Lamar, who sources have suggested is the one responsible for bailing on the show, then added:

"The issue at hand is we just want to be happy. We'll take our time and we'll get back to it when it's time."

At the end of the day, Lamar is a basketball player, so obviously, that should be his focus. The reality show, although entertaining, was simply an extracurricular activity of sorts for him.

It's a shame that Lamar's career in the NBA has taken a turn for the worse since being traded to the Dallas Mavericks, but life is full of ups and downs! We're just happy that Khloe is sticking by her man and making the necessary compromises to support him!

Enjoy the break, guys! You both deserve it.

Whoa… kinda spooky.

It's like Lamar Odom knew that things weren't going to work out with the Mavericks.

After watching the clip it actually seems more like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

He was so upset the Lakers traded him, that he let himself believe he couldn't make it in Dallas so it actually happened.

We feel so bad, we just want him to get back to El Lay and start healing.

With Lamar Odom's highly publicized exit from the Dallas Mavericks going on, the price of his gear is dropping fast.

Any Mavericks gear with Odom's name on it will soon (if not already) be worthless, so the store is doing whatever it can to dump as much merchandise as possible.

Distributors for the Dallas Mavericks Ultimate Fan Shop immediately started slashing prices as soon as Lamar was cut.

His jersey went from $110 to

Lamar Odom has been going through some rough times recently, and his wife Khloe has been nothing but supportive.

But not everyone cares so much about his feelings.

He's been dealing with some issues, which were the main cause of his departure from the Dallas Mavericks, but Mavs owner Mark Cuban isn't holding back.

"We tried. It didn't work. We move on.

Yeah, I think the winners are us. He didn't want to play. He decided to go elsewhere… Now we regroup and go forward. Now you just take the circumstances and make the best of it.

Every player goes through ups and downs. We try and put them in a position to succeed. You saw what we did—it didn't work. And you know, I just asked him, Does he want to go forward or not, is he in or out? I think he thought we were playing poker."

It's not that Cuban doesn't think he's a talented player, he thinks he has some real skill, it's just he:

"[…] went through some issues this year and we thought we could work through them with him and we weren't able to."

Because he couldn't work through his issues he was bringing too much "negative energy" to the team. So, was Lamar worth it?

"Did I get my money's worth? No. I don't know if the word's cheated, but did I get my money's worth? No."

Ooo. That's rough. We're sure your over $2,000,000,000 will keep you happy. LOLz!

We think this is the last thing Lamar needs right now.

At least he's still got his Khloe.

While on Ellen recently, Khloe Kardashian opened up about several subjects.

She spoke about her weight, constantly being compared to her sisters and her cover shoot for Cosmo.

Then things turned to recent events as Ellen asked if they'll be moving back to El Lay, now that hubby Lamar Odom will no longer be playing for the Dallas Mavericks.

This isn't the first time she's spoken about her husband being put on the Mav's inactive roster.

Check out the video (above) for the answers to these questions and more straight talk from the tallest, youngest Kardashian.

As we've already mentioned, Lamar Odom will no longer be actively playing for the Dallas Mavericks.

Apparently, it was two main factors that led to Lamar being permanently benched.

An insider very close to Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, said:

"The decision was made by the team owner Mark Cuban after Lamar did not play in the second half of a game against Memphis.

The team was upset by his inconsistent effort on the court and was concerned about how his demeanor could impact the team's younger players."

So even though Lamar said:

"The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team."

…it was another insider that said it was "too much drama, [and] not enough focus on basketball" that led to his departure.

Either way, we hope he works past his issues and finds a team he can prosper on so he and Khloe can go back to being happily married.

Stay strong!

Despite being dropped to the NBA Developmental League, Lamar Odom is back on the Mavericks roster and even helped his team beat Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks 95-85 on Tuesday.

Khloe Kardashian, Lamar's biggest fan, cheered him on from the stands with a smile on her face. She's clearly happy to see her man where he belongs.

The whirlwind Linsanity that had engulfed the nation over the last few weeks, however, is another story
