Lamar Odom Signs With Spanish Basketball Team

Congrats! But seriously ... there wasn't a SINGLE U.S. team who wanted him?!
Troubled NBA star Lamar Odom has signed a two-month deal with the Spanish basketball team Laboral Kutxa, and he'll be arriving in Vitoria today for his first meetings with the franchise.
The 34-year-old athlete has the option to extend his two-month contract to the end of the season, and he will attend one of the team's games this week. A source tells Us Weekly, "He will probably be a spectator at the match and introduced to the crowd during half-time."
Lamar started off with the Los Angeles Clippers in 1999 (he played with them until 2003), he was with the Lakers from 2004-2011, and he came back to the Clippers for the 2012-2013 season after playing with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. There was a rumor back in November that he was looking to re-sign with the Clips, but it appears as though that fell through.
Last year Lamar and wife Khloe Kardashian divorced after rumors of cheating and drug use surfaced, and after that he got a DUI. Glad he's off to a better start in 2014!
