Wondering if its possible to let Odom retire due to psychological reasons, let it confirm by a psychologist and the Mavs are able to buy him out and remove his salary from the cap....

To clear that 2.4mill, an NBA-appointed MD would have to determine that he was medically unfit to play and unlikely to play again in the near future. I don't see that happening even under the best circumstances for a guy that is in better shape than 95% of Americans (and decent for an NBA player), even if he is emotionally unfit to compete hard.
