On Friday, a three-team deal was announced that will send Lamar Odom, 32, to the Los Angeles Clippers. Odom was a longtime LA Lakers player until he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks after a hot halftime give-and-take with the Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Questioning Odom’s commitment to the team, Cuban subsequently placed Odom on the Maverick’s inactive list. It will be a sort of homecoming for Odom, as he spent his first four years of his career with the Clippers.
