kardashiannyc080210_02_trade.jpgAfter much negotiation and many leaks to the press about Los Angeles Lakers potential trade of play Lamar Odom, the LA Times' Lakers blog finally announced that Khloe Kardashian's hubby has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

Odom, 32, was initially set to go to the New Orleans Hornets as part of a cancelled exchange of players between the Lakers, Hornets and Houston Rockets.

It's uncertain why Lamar was dumped by the team but reports speculate the Lakers wanted to get rid of his costly $17 million salary.

Khloe's been Tweeting about the job change for her husband, writing "I am curious as to how I am the cause for any trade? LOL Some people just say anything behind their computer screens."

There has been speculation in the celebrity gossip world, the Khloe and her reality show family could be the cause for Lamar being traded, suggesting Lakers players and management were frustrated by Odom's intense shooting schedule and the superficial attention the show and all its trappings brought to the team.

Khloe went on to Tweet: "I have no doubt about it! I am excited :) I know this is for a reason."

No word yet on how the E! production team will handle the move or if Khloe and Lamar will continue to be a regular part of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. No doubt the couple's spin-off, Khloe & Lamar, will see renewed interest with this storyline!
