Odom is a doofus - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

EricaLubarsky · 08-31-2013, 12:59 PM

Odom (like many addicts) was probably good at hiding it under lies. The Lakers may not have even known-- perhaps they just thought he made too many excuses. We had no history with him, so we were way more likely to believe his bullshit. Plus, Cuban is optimistic to a fault. He thinks Dirk/Carlisle and himself can fix any personality conflict, but this one was bigger than him.

Anyway, I'd be thrilled to move this thread to the NBA section. I just didn't want to post a new thread for a DUI when we already had such a robust Odom-trainwreck thing going on here.

The Lakers knew. They just dumped the reigning sixth man?

I'd be thrilled to move you to a different forum..but I suppose that isn't going to happen.

People are free to dislike other posters, but I can't see the necessity of this post. If it serves no purpose to the thread in any way shape or form then why do it? Just send her a PM so that the rest of us don't have to read it.

And yeah, the loooong August/September NBA basketball blues can get the best of us.
