Khloe and Lamar are ready to mess with Texas.
After a dramatic several days, basketball star Lamar Odom has been traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, the LA Times' Lakers Blog confirmed late Saturday.

Odom, 32, was initially set to be traded to the New Orleans Hornets as part of a nixed exchange of players between the Lakers, Hornets and the Houston Rockets.
Right now, it's unclear exactly why Odom was ousted from the Lakers -- sports blogs speculate that managers may have wanted to "dump" his costly $17 million salary and/or create opportunities to recruit other star players to the team.

Odom -- who had skipped Lakers practice before the Dallas deal was announced -- has remained quiet about the news, but his wife Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter late to grapple with their impending move to Texas.
"'For I know the plans I have for u,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper u and not to harm u, plans to give u hope and a future.' Jeremiah," she wrote philosophically.

But the reality star, 27, also fought back against theories that her own celebrity somehow inspired the trade. "I am curious as to how I am the cause for any trade? LOL Some people just say anything behind their computer screens."
"We are all sad," she admitted to a follower, "but positive energy gets you farther then negative."

She stayed optimistic about her move to the Lone Star state. "I am sure I will love it but I am a tad thrown off...I know for a fact blessings are everywhere!!! Everything happens for a reason. God is great."
Tell Us What You Think
33Lamar is going to impress a lot of people now that he is away from you know who ! You know who is the biggest ball hog and the biggest whiner there ever was ! If L.A. were smart they would spray some insectacide on him and hopes that retires him!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WhaTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Khloe that is the best move ever. You can be away from your crazy, tacky sisters and mother. Good luck, wish you well and all good things.

I admire you Chloe. You belong with your husband, not with a clan. Good luck in Dallas.
I Admire you Chloe. You belong whereever your husband plays. It is time for the clan to separate and be your own self and family. Good luck in Dallas.
Oh god no....they're coming here??
Khloe, welcome to Texas, Honey! We're a "Stand By Your Man" kind of state so you'll fit right in!

It was just a matter of time...and had nothing to do with his wife's show. He just wasn't that good. Lakers was then best gig he would ever get. He's old now by NBA standards.

I wanna be there when Kris Jenner flies in to talk to the "owner" about filming...Mr. Cuban will send her out on her big fat rear. He is in charge, wow - do you think Kris will be able to handle it?? Here's a thought - Khloe - this is a chance to actually have a life away from that suffocating thing you call family. Maybe when you are away from the stress from selling every single intimate moment you and your husband share to the public for a buck...maybe your ovaries will kick in and you will get pregnant. Seriously, consider it a blessing. You need to remember that you have love, more money than you will ever need...find a gorgeous house, make some real friends who don't sell you for a place on Page six like your sister does and make your husband proud. He will come into his own out from under the shadow and hostility that Kobe Bryant brings to the table. Just think, everyone already thinks you are the normal one - here's a chance to prove them right.
Khloe proves once again everything is about her. The trade had nothing to do with her and she needs to get her head out of her butt. I give her a month of living their full time before she gets a divorce too.
If I were him I'd want to get as far away from the Kobe's...I mean the Laker's as I could get. No one on that team gets the respect they deserve except Bryant. I'm not a huge NBA fan but I get sick and tired of hearing about Kobe Bryant. He may be a great player but he is just one man and NOT worth that amount of money. So go Khloe and Lamar! Live it up in Texas!!!
You tell them Khloe!!! Love this couple so much!!!!
oh please like khloe could have anything to do with the trade. I am shocked though, because Lamar is so damn good. The Lakers are in trouble. Lamar and Dirk- look out LA! let's go mavs!
