gotemcoach: From 6th Man of the Year to Deactivated Player of the Year… The Dallas Mavericks deactivated Lamar, which means he won’t play and isn’t in the locker room, but is still technically on the team.  The Mavs will most likely attempt to trade him before the NBA Draft this summer. I love Lamar Odom, because I’m a Laker fan, but his disappearing act in Big D is far worse than unprofessional.  It’s pathetic.  Every other NBA team can and should be worried about him pulling the same stunt next season.  If I’m an NBA owner, I cannot, in good conscience, reward his behavior. (Of course, he’d play well if he returned to LA, so the Lakers should offer him vet minimum.  Welcome home, Lamar!!!) @gotem_coach
