When no one from Cathy's Kids would agree to an interview, "Outside the Lines" approached Odom in the locker room after a game to ask questions about his charity. Odom did not answer any specific questions about the charity's spending, wasn't able to explain why his agent and business manager said the charity had been dormant and became visibly upset and ended the conversation. More than a month later, his agent arranged a sit-down interview with Odom in Los Angeles, but Odom still didn't answer questions, saying he just wanted to apologize for the locker-room scene.

When pressed for details about some of the expenses, including DeGregorio's salary, listed on the IRS forms, Odom repeatedly responded by saying, "It's my money," and refusing to explain any further.

I want to believe that some slimeball was taking advantage of Lamar or something and didn't tell him where the money was all going, but still you have to be aware of something you attach your name to. If Lamar really did know that none of the money for a cancer charity named after his mother was really going to help cancer patients, he's a sleazeball of the highest order and deserves to be called out for it.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

This is honestly disgusting. Named his charity after his mother who died from cancer - doesn't give a dime of money he stole.

Holy shit

I think it's more an issue of the guy just being pretty bad at managing money. He doesn't seem like the brightest person in the world. Regardless, I can't wait for the Clippers to be free of him.

 

[white dynamite]

Maybe he's first-hand researching how candy causes cancer.

 

[Diprosalic]

that charity is most obviously a tax dump.

 

[Vestal]

Disgraceful.



Yeah... thats it.

So much salt.. Unlike Pop, Spo notified the NBA that he would be resting his stars. We all knew it was coming as part of the maintenance program.

LMA is out against the Jazz tonight. Everyone but the refs are conspiring against the Lakers, including the Lakers.

 

[LegendofJoe]

A lot of people make big bucks scamming donation money as a fake charity, shit is rampant. A lot of the big, independent churches are in on it too.

How fitting that Mitt Romney's photo would be right above that post of yours.

Manu isn't that hurt.

Pop is just overprotective

It's a nice excuse to rest Manu without the NBA fining the team $250,000.

 

[reilo]

What's the point of fining the Heat after all the money they spent bribing their way to the top?

 

[Vic]

Fact I wasn't aware of: the Clippers started the season with a 32-9 record, but are 17-16 since then with a 2-8 record against western playoff teams.

2 of their wins against the Jazz were straight up stolen by cheesy flops. It's easy to hate that team.

Haters gonna hate.

Be lucky the Fakers are sucking otherwise your team wouldn't sniff the playoffs.

Why do people like to fight? Also the "boyfriend" needs to protect his lady friend better.

The only reason your team is what it is is because of Stern's "Basketball Reasons." That's kinda lame, brodude.

 

[exarkun]

Does Manu even matter all that much anymore? He's been in and out of the lineup the last two seasons, his ass is REALLY old for his position, what do Spurs fans expect? Yea hes nice off the bench, but he hasn't been 6th man material since 2010. He gets burned on defense pretty often nowadays.

Duncan seems to be Malone-like, Parker is fine, Kawhi is getting better every game, they have Pop and a bunch of nice role players. Just re-up Manu for league minimum (if the Spurs want to be nice), and spend on some nice 6th man/wing player. Gotdamn, Manu is all my Spurs friends ever complain about.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

If Archie Goodwin is still in the NBA in 2016, I will be surprised. No touch or BBIQ at all and it's kind of hard to be a guard without either.

Disappointed that WCS is staying, but that's probably a good long-term move. He'll start next year and needed to improve his conditioning so his stock will probably go up and he'll be more prepared for the NBA. This year's draft gets weaker though

 

[Nori Chan]

We are facebook friends

That says enough!

This makes me super sad

 

[Future PhaZe]

Jazz will draft Bennett and love it

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Jazz will draft Bennett and love it

We're trading our pick, Al Jefferson, and Mo Williams to the Nets for Deron Williams.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jazz will draft Bennett and love it

If Bennett falls to 13-15, then yeah, we should take him and that would be good. Millsap's the only PF on the roster right now and he could easily go to the Rockets in the offseason so it wouldn't be that redundant.

I doubt Bennett falls that far though.

I don't talk about draft picks after wanting Evan Turner so badly over Hayward, and Derrick Williams so bad over Kanter.

Mannnn that boy looked good in college...

IDK wtf happened.

I'm gonna blame it on Kahn.

You mean the steward of the Hornets negated a trade that would have been horrible for the Hornets? Yeah that's pretty shady. Sure in retrospect, getting Eric Gordon wasn't a ton better, but at the time, it seemed like a much better trade for the Hornets.

 

[jobber]

All right ill pm you when I get home

great!

I can't wait to play Gods Of Warriors!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Both of those trades are so horrible in retrospect:

Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom, and Pau Gasol for CP3

Or

Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers, AF Aminu, Kaman for CP3

Compared to:

Harkless and Vucevic for Dwight
Favors and Kanter for Deron
Gallinari, Chandler, Felton (moved for Andre Miller) for Melo

Those ended up decent to good...The CP3 trade did not at all unless Gordon stops playing terrible and becomes healthy as well next year.

Apparently a goaltend can be called when the ball is blocked beneath the rim.

looool i wasn't joking guys.

They missed a bunch of plays in that video though, sad.

The amount of people surprised: 0.

If the Jazz are 1/2 a game behind the Lakers as the Lakers go into the final game, expect them to shoot 50 FTs.

 

[exarkun]

Clippers gonna clip.

You mean chip, right?

Edit: Hey brandi, rangers suck. But I think you called that.

 

[charsace]

She once thanked me for helping keep the orchestra together because I have very rhythmic body motions. BOOM.

I hope you really do mean you fucked her.

Everyone should have called that when they let go of Josh, dumped MY, signed no one, and called it an offseason after choking hard last year.

to be fair the CP3 trade did make them horrible enough to get Davis

 

[Branduil]

The Clippers trade is still way better than the Lakers one.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

to be fair the CP3 trade did make them horrible enough to get Davis

And that is a really positive thing so I guess it didn't end that horribly, but the direct pieces they got and could have gotten are just so bad for a player of CP3's caliber.

It is sort of a direct piece though both for Stern Reasons and the Lakers package definitely wouldn't have put them in position to get the #1 pick.
