08:06 AM ET 09.13 | Lamar Odom hinted via a Twitter message intended for Pau Gasol that he might be open to playing overseas next season. "it's ya boy @RealLamarOdom !" Odom tweeted to Gasol. "My dude really want 2 talk 2 u! Really thinking about going 2 play in Europe after this season!" Odom has a two-year, $17-million contract remaining with the Lakers, but he only has one guaranteed season, in 2011-2012, worth $8.9 million. The Lakers have a $8.2-million option for the 2012-2013 campaign. Only $2.4 million of that option is guaranteed, meaning it's possible Odom could become a free agent in 2012. It remains unclear whether the Lakers would keep him, particularly after their unsuccessful bid to trade him this offseason to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The fact that he's looking to run overseas tells me Khloe is not cutting it in bed. I mean why else will a married man with kids want out so bad?

Exploring his options. Maybe he feels that he can make more money over seas. Don't know if the Lakers will keep him when his contract expires for the type of money he wants. Usually, when American pro players consider playing for teams over seas it means the end of the end, Odom can be productive with other teams, the trade talk that took place over the early off season involved Kevin Love, a point guard and Minnesota's first round draft pick for Odom; who in their right mind would make that trade? Odom is a good player but that's asking a lot from Minnesota.

Kobe is old and the Lakers are done. Now I know it's a tough pill to swallow but we live to see the gradual degradation of the Lakers empire. Now if they are smart they will trade him for a younger superstar on the come up. I'm talking Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose. However if thet keep tinkering hoping Kobe somehow reverses nature they will be in the doldrums like the Knicks of the 2000's. Trade Kobe and trade him now. Just as you got rid of older Shaq for younger talent to complement Kobe, Mamba's time has come. Show him the exit!
