If Khloe Kardashian is going to be twerking The Game and making the tabloids go crazy about a rumored love affair, then apparently, Lamar Odom is taking his ball and going to Spain.
SportsGlory.com posted a pair of tweets - from Eurobasket.com's David Pick and from ESPN's Marc Stein - stating that Odom will play overseas with Spanish Laboral Vitoria.
From Pick (@IAmDPick): "Hearing rumors that free agent forward Lamar Odom - with over 1000 NBA games under his belt - has offer from Spanish Laboral Vitoria."
And from Stein almost 40 minutes later (@ESPNSteinLine): "It's true. Just told @RealLamarOdom has a deal in principal with aforementioned Spanish club and intends to play rest of season in Espana".
The 34-year-old Odom has not played this season after spending 2012-13 with the Los Angeles Clippers, his second stint with the team. He also has played with the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks during his 14-year NBA career.
He was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2010-11.
But Odom's basketball career has been spiraling downward since, and his personal life has created more headlines over the past year.
He reportedly has a substance abuse problems and he cheated on Kardashian, leading up to their Dec. 13 divorce. CBSSports.com reported that he plead guilty to a DUI charge from an August arrest in which he refused a blood test.
According to CBSSports.com, the Clippers appeared ready to resign Odom in November, but the transaction never materialized. The site said he was nearing a return after extensive training in January.
