More baggage than LAXBy far the worst trade acquisition in recent Dallas-Fort Worth history is not going to join the Dallas Mavericks tonight in their second-half opener with New Jersey.
As you might remember, he missed the Los Angeles Lakers game last week reportedly to fly to Los Angeles to see to his ailing father, as if he were on his deathbed. OK.
Then TMZ catches up with the father in Los Angeles, who, despite looking like he's 102 years old, only had a stomach virus. Clearly not life-threatening.
Rumors swirled the last 24 hours that a buyout was imminent -- the Mavericks were cutting bait. Not so much. Of course, Mark Cuban and Co. wants you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. As if we were all illiterate. (Maybe he's right.)
It's as if Odom's daring the Mavericks to cut him and the Mavericks, maybe rightfully so, are budging out of principle and if this goes on long enough maybe the Mavericks might have some right to get out of paying him altogether. Why should the Mavericks buy out Odom when it's clear all he is doing is throwing a series of temper tantrums because the wittle bitty Wakers didn't want him anymore?
Although I support the Mavericks, if this is the case, it should be noted that the Mavericks have shown their ass twice this season in the media. The first, clearly, happened when Dirk Nowitzki was sat down for a handful of games because he was out of shape ... or his knee hurt ... or his knee hurt so he couldn't get in shape. Either way, owner-player-coach were all talking out of their asses and contradicting each other.
Here we have a clearly insubordinate player doing whatever he wants in order to prove some kind of goddamn point. Again, I'd sit his ass on the end of the bench. Give us Ian Mahinmi or give us death.
