Lamar Odom is one of the bigger stars of the LA Lakers, correct? I don’t really know because I don’t follow any kind of sports activities, but I seem to remember that Lamar won an MVP at some point? Anyway, a few days ago, the Lakers’ management seemed to be trying to trade Lamar to any team that would take him. The rumor at first was that Lamar was going to the New Orleans Hornets, then that trade fell by the wayside, and then the Houston Rockets, but that fell away too, and now it’s looking like Lamar was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. Khloe and Lamar Take Dallas? Is it krazy that I think Khloe – and the whole Kardashian Klan – would do very well in Texas?
Khloe and Lamar are ready to mess with Texas. After a dramatic several days, basketball star Lamar Odom has been traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, the LA Times’ Lakers Blog confirmed late Saturday.
Odom, 32, was initially set to be traded to the New Orleans Hornets as part of a nixed exchange of players between the Lakers, Hornets and the Houston Rockets.
Right now, it’s unclear exactly why Odom was ousted from the Lakers — sports blogs speculate that managers may have wanted to “dump” his costly $17 million salary and/or create opportunities to recruit other star players to the team.
Odom — who had skipped Lakers practice before the Dallas deal was announced — has remained quiet about the news, but his wife Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter late to grapple with their impending move to Texas.
“‘For I know the plans I have for u,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper u and not to harm u, plans to give u hope and a future.’ Jeremiah,” she wrote philosophically.
But the reality star, 27, also fought back against theories that her own celebrity somehow inspired the trade. “I am curious as to how I am the cause for any trade? LOL Some people just say anything behind their computer screens.”
“We are all sad,” she admitted to a follower, “but positive energy gets you farther then negative.”
She stayed optimistic about her move to the Lone Star state. “I am sure I will love it but I am a tad thrown off…I know for a fact blessings are everywhere!!! Everything happens for a reason. God is great.”

From what I know about Texas cities, I think Lamar and Khloe probably would have enjoyed Houston more? Austin would have been the preferred city, then Houston, and then maybe Dallas. Dallas – from my limited knowledge – is very old-money and oil-baron friendly? Or is that just the stereotype I have? You know who lives in Dallas now? George W. Bush. That’s where he and Laura have retired. Khloe and Lamar Take Bush Country? Still, I think Khloe would probably enjoy it if she gave the city a chance.

Poor Texas.
ditto.
I live in a suburb smack dab between Fort Worth and Dallas. 30 minutes to be downtown in either city. I had an epic eye roll when I heard this news. Ugh.
Dallas does have “old” money, but it is very much a beverly hills type area. A lot of plastic surgery, a lot of shopping, a lot of catty women (think southern beauty queens). I think the tranny klan will do well there!
They say that everything is bigger in Texas so she will be fit well there.
Lamar is *definitely* one of the best players in the NBA. The guy is all heart, on the court and off.
I wish I could escape her family like she’s about to escape her family. Good luck in Texas, gurl.
Dallas can have them – It IS like you said – old money, pretentious, tacky —
They need to stay away from Austin! (my city!)
Agreed! Stay the hell away from Austin. They’ll fit in just fine in Dallas.
A freakin’ men! keep austin kardashian free!
Tacky? Well then, Khloe will fit in beautifully. Who the hell styles those girls?? I mean- you would have to go OUT of your way to dress as badly as these sisters do.
Keep them out of Fort Worth too!!! We don’t even like those Dallas bi-otches!!
New money is pretentious & tacky (kardashians) old money doesn’t need to impress
Maybe she can be happy to move far away from that asshole family of hers.
Pretty much what I was scrolling down to type…
🙂
dats sooo correct,guys!!!..Maybe she can have time and enough fresh air 2 conceive an “Odom”!!!..#TeamKhloe 🙂
what is with all the god references??? i guess i keep forgetting what a religious country america is and this is how she can pander.
I don’t see the problem referencing someone she believes in.
Neither do I, but I’ve a hard time believing this family actually believes in God.
Now, the Almighty Dollar, on the other hand…
Yeah, they seem to be the type to start talking about God when they’re in trouble with the media. The only time I’ve ever heard any of them talk about God, was when Kim was saying that she remembers her mom having bible studies in their house.
I love how my fair city is getting shit on. As if all that lives here is tacky beauty pageant rejects and the idiots that support them.
Lamar and Khloe will be fine in Dallas.
What I am curious about, how the players will react to Lamar. Since Lamar made it a point to physically assault a couple of them last year on the court. And got to pay a few large fines over it.
Lamar did not show a lot of class on the court, when it came to playing against the Mavericks. He was a poorly behaved loser… every time.
apologies : )
the only visual I have of Dallas is from the soap opera
I was actually thinking of that game too! Lamar is a dbag on the court. I LOVE Dallas! I’m sorry for your city, dear.
I was in Dallas many years ago. Very interesting place. I would love to go back there. Your city is very cool, Hautie. But are you sure you want any Kardashians there?? Even if Khloe is OK, the other icky ones will follow! Its a trade-off, I guess.
I’m going hope that they actually contacted the Dallas players and let them know what was going on and if they were ok with it.
I believe this is what the Bulls did when they acquired Dennis Rodman. Since there was such presumed bad blood from when Rodman was a Piston they wanted to make sure that most everyone was on board.
I was wondering how Odom was going to handle being on the Mavericks. From the coverage about them here in S.A., the Mavs are a bunch of asses owned by the biggest ass of all time, Mark Cuban. maybe Khloe will keep Odom grounded?
ohhhh this is gonna get good as far as the playoffs is concerned.
2 words: who cares.
I live in the Dallas area, and it is a great city. It’s progressive enough and not too stuffy. There’s plenty of shopping, great restaurants, and good night life. I don’t think they will hate it here.
Shhhh Hautie and TXCinderella.. don’t tell them we actually don’t drive caddy’s with longhorns attached to the hood 😉
AWESOME. LOL! I love it. I think people think many of us Texans do that. 😉
Lol! So funny. I live in Fort Worth and my first thought was nooo not the kardashians! Khloe and Lamar will be fine in Dallas. It’s a nice place with lots of upscale shopping and living. 🙂 when I think oil money, I actually think Houston…
She really should change her last name to Odom. She’s obviously not a KK at heart.
Her last name is Odom
I can’t look at her and not recognize that half her DNA comes from “somebody” non-Kardashian. wonder when she figured it out.
seems like that half is the good half tho, she’s not nearly the obnoxious famewhore of the rest of the bunch
Lamar Odom is one of the better players in the NBA, but not an MVP by any stretch. He also was a classless jerk in the playoffs last year. Additionally, on Sportscenter this morning his teammates were all coming out in support of him and upset that he had been traded, but there seemed to be an underlying thought that the reality show had something to do with the Lakers getting rid of him.
Way to go Khardashians…not exactly the midas touch anymore.
Agreed. It seems that some of the Laker hierarchy is pissed that Lamar did the show during the season. We all thought Klhoe would be bad luck for him & my oldest teen, a diehard Laker fan, says that the Lakers ’10 Championship was their “White Album” and that Khloe is the Lakers Yoko Ono!
All I can see about this story is that Kartrashiam bank account is getting smaller and I love it. From $17 to $8.9 million is a huge reduction. It is still a lot of money but about 50% less than before. And they are used to the luxurious life style. I hope Sears and other retailer drop them and I think I have the desire to see all Kardashians file for bankruptcy some day where we can see all their insane expenses and “charity donations”.
the way the kardashians have made money the last few years, i’m pretty sure khloe makes more than lamar, before or after the trade. they’re not going to be hurting anytime soon. especially khloe, who seems the most level headed of the family (and yes, i’m a fan of hers, basically because she tells the rest of the family to eff off).
Yes. She strikes me as the only marginally honest Kartrashian.
True, it’s a reduction, however $8.9 million is still alot to live on if you dont live beyond your means and from what Khloe said on her and Lamar’s reality show, she put a stop to his generosity of taking care of friends and family, so I will assume Khloe really watches the money in that household.
I think Lamar is good with money. Kris tried to show Khloe an even bigger house to buy and pushing Khloe to talk him into it. He said you never know what will happen careerwise and wanted to be smart on how much he payed. Khloe agreed and told mom to but out.
That is so uncool…. You didn’t have to wish the kardashian family go
bankrupt!!! They are just a family and an imperfect one at that. That is not to mean their viewers have not learnt few lessons from their reality show. Viewers only get to see what they feel would sell. And as for Khloe and Lamar, you don’t need to be upset about this two loving couples. She obviously stands up for her husband and that to me is a golden lesson that a lot of women out there should learn. I love them
Well, E! will probably manage to get a new show out of it, so I guess that’s all that matters to these people.
I’m a Celtics fan and can’t stand the Lakers but I feel awful for Lamar Odom. The dude has been taking pay cuts for years so he could stay with the Lakers. I think the owners have treated him like sh*t…
These two always look so large and happy with each other. I enjoy seeing pics of them even though they’re ugly because they seem so happy.
Also, I didn’t know Khloe was religious. Has this always been the case, or maybe she got more Christian since being with Lamar?
I think it is pretty fake. Supposedly, the Kardashians have their own church, which is really a tax shelter.
Oh snap:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1350685/Kim-Kardashian-reveals-Piers-Morgan-funds-mother-Kris-church.html
This needs to get more attention. A church is charity… Only when they do charitable deeds. Has anyone pinned down anything this church has done for the community?
“These two always look so large and happy with each other. I enjoy seeing pics of them even though they’re ugly because they seem so happy.”
LMFAO.
I think this is a real marriage, Khloe is in love with him. If it was Kim, she would be out the second he got traded to a city that wasn’t cosmopolitan enough.
I don’t think Lamar Odum was ever a starter for the Lakers but I could be wrong. I think he is the guy who can make big plays off the bench, but he is not a very consistent player. He will be hot one game and cold the next two. I love philosophical Khloe *eye roll.* I am sure she had her mother on the phone trying to work out some sort of deal with the NBA to keep Lamar in LA. “How are we going to film their show in Dallas? Don’t you dare mess with my franchise, NBA!” I am a real pessimist, but I have a sneaking suspension that this time next year, there will be lots of rumors of Lamar canoodling with Dallas babes and Khloe bar hopping and flirting it up in LA without her wedding ring on.
Lamar is a great player, but hardly in the top tier. And he never was an MVP. He got traded, in part, because he had a MASSIVE contract for someone who comes off the bench (which means that he is the 6th best player on the team).
And yes, I do believe that the reality show played a subtle part in the trade. The Lakers team is all about Kobe and has been for many years.
But the truth of the matter is that Lamar wanted to step out of Kobe’s shadow. Yessss, I believe he loves Khloe, but he also wanted to marry a famous woman. I remember hearing that he was dating and PROPOSED to Taraji Henson in the same “whirlwind” way. Taraji just didn’t take the bait. This was shortly before Khloe.
So he is definitely a famewhore too. It just pales in comparison with the rest of the K-fam.
PMK won’t be too happy about this…..great news for khloe though – free at last. she definitely dodged a bullet there. the KhouseofKards is about to come crashing down.
Wonder what they are going to do about all those ppl in LA who were mooching off of/taking advantage of them and their money…his BFF Jamie (who did nothing) her bro, Robert and his dad, the druglord. I guess it works ok that you don’t have to live in the same city to financially support a group of people.
Uuhhhhh. His dad is more of the crackhead variety than drug lord.
rob already moved out
LOL so which family member is that loser Rob going to mooch off of now? Or does the “allowance” he receives from Khloe cover apartment rental? What a loser.
Perhaps Lamar was a casualty of the wedding fiasco? Or maybe companies are distancing themselves from the K klan nowadays?
I agree!
Uggh ….my first thought was please don’t let it be the Spurs. I live in San Antonio and Eva the Diva is enough celebrity for this town.
Oh, you poor baby! I cannot STAND Eva. Though I would LOVE to see Khloe put Eva on blast! That would be EPIC! (We can dream, can’t we…)
I think it would be a fate worse than death than to have to live in Texas. I’m sure she won’t really “live” there, at least not when she is filming her insipid TV show.
My brother is a assistant coach for the Hornets and I was looking forward to seeing Khloe at the Hornets game and watching Lamar play for them. Oh well.
How is her mom going to control her from so far away?
I live in a suburb of Dallas, and Dallas is the most like their current home than any other city. Austin is college party town and Houston sucks.
Yeah right!!! I am from the East Coast but have family in both cities, and Dallas is way more boring than Houston, by faaaar!!
Yes, the Houston Rockets dodged the KarTRASHian bullet!!!!!
What does she do in LA that she can’t do in Dallas? She’ll be fine. Better even, away from her mother for a bit.
Read somewhere she generally gets on with other WAGS so no need for drama. Mark Cuban wouldn’t like the competition.
I can see Cuban hamming it up with the K’s as soon as he can get his mug on camera. Talk about famewhores meeting famewhores. And does anyone remember that Cuban had his own reality series at one point. Match made in heaven.
I live in a town called WACO, not far from Dallas. So am a huge MAVS fan. It upset me to know that the K-DASH family might show their faces in Dallas. We all know they only care about themselves and how they can make money. They always look out for #1. So i hope they don’t trash Texas or trash talk about Texas. Bc are saying here is “DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS” so lets hope that the K-DASH family doesn’t give Texas a bad name. And keep Kim away from any Dallas cowboy players, she already try to get her hooks on one, but he got away. Lol!! Well who knows Kim might be the next Anna nicole and find a old rich oil tycoon and then she can stop trying to date the next big sports star. Who know we still have the Texas Rangers, Dallas stars…………..so all i can say is GO MAVS!!!!
LOL…I think everyone knows of Waco. You can thank Koresh for that.
I thought the “Don’t Mess with Texas” was a campaign to stop littering…
Well, considering the K clan isnt much more than trash, then yes, its aptly applied in this stance.
Since Khloe isn’t a Kardashian and doesn’t even act like one, I feel comfortable to admit that I like to see her live her life as positive as possible. For some reason, I can’t bring myself to rag on her.
Ditto. I like her the the best. She just always seems so self aware, and not a famewhore. Even in the show, she just doesn’t seem to care about doing putting herself out there.
She IS the most tolerable, most honest person in that klan. And I don’t think she’s actually “one of them” – I think she’s Bruce’s.
I think she’s OJ’s. Have you ever seen photos of them side-by-side. Similar bone structure and similar expressions when they smile.
Plus, let’s face it, Kris would have totally screwed OJ. After all, he was famous and rich.
The Mavericks are a championship team so it is a good trade for Lamar. I like Khloe and I think she will be happy to leave her crazy family and take a break in Dallas. No story here; it is not like they are moving to Alaska.
I think it is a story because Khloe in her own special Kartrashian way is making this all about her misfortune and how she now has to think only positive thoughts as not to focus on the negative. She is “sad” and “thrown off,” (that Kris Jenner and Ryan Seacrest can’t strong arm the NBA).
If I was married to someone who got transferred around and had to move to a place totally foreign to me, I’d be “thrown off” too.
But that’s just my inner “I had to move 1K miles away from everyone and everything I’ve ever known for 40 years of my life because of the economy & a deathly ill MIL” speaking.
Whenever I’ve had to relocate for my husband’s job, I’ve felt thrown off and a bit lost and afraid. I mean, you put down roots, you have friends and maybe family, then you’re uprooted and have to do it all again. It’s hard.
LMAO!! Kris Humphries has yet to be signed to an NBA team. Kris is a free agent and no teams have picked him.
They’re just trying to avoid the Kartrashian Kurse. 😉
I would like to welcome Lamar and Big foot to Texas
I think it will do her good to get away from her mother, that way she can write a tell all book about the family 🙂 My money has always been on her being the sister who will eventually spill the beans.
And Khloé, pass on the court side seats and sit with the other wags and act like a wife and not like ‘the celebrity’ at the games.
IDK about Khloe but I am NOT HAPPY! Lamar is one of my favorite players on the team. (despite his unfortunate associations)
Lamar’s radio interview stated that the Lakers coaches hated his reality show sie and he totally blames that show for the reason why they wanted to get rid of him..
he was crying in the interview w/ESPN..
he said “doing the show may have RUBBED people the wrong way”
I heard those rumours too.
I hardly ever defend the Kardashians, but all this talk about how Texas should be ashamed to have them is funny to me. Texas rich bitches have a whole history of doing whatever it takes to male their money. SO they will fit right in. I mean look at the their former governor and our former President.
I actualyl do like Khloe and Lamar.
Yikes. Just what we here in Dallas need, more sports drama. I think much like Jessica simpson, and then Kim K when she dated Miles Austin, they might be in for a really rude awakening. first off, I bet she thinks that the Mavs are on the same popularity level as the Cowboys. Big No. We love them, but this is first and foremost a football town/state. football’s football. I don’t think she’ll have anywhere near the WAG status locally that she had in LA.
Second, our general population does not put up with celebs like they do in Ny or LA. And the fans can make life hell for her and Lamar if they don’t like them or want their famewhoring stopped. Dirk Nowitzki is our star thankyouvery much. Wonder how that will play out too. I think the most prudent thing to do would be to get a feel for the area first, but I doubt that will happen. How bad was this reality tv show if the LA Lakers didn’t want it? I think we should change the phrase to ‘don’t mess with Dallas sports”.
Well, I will always have my Rangers. The Halo’s just signed out biggest drama king as a free agent. (*tear* gonna miss ya CJ,you lovable douche you) Biggest celeb ever associated with them was Misty May Treanor. (and I doubt she’s a household name)
Am I the only one who thinks Khloe is excited because she WANTS to get away from the rest of her family? For what little I’ve seen of Kardashian shows and the tabloid rep I think she is tired of being controlled by Kris and Kim and she sounds tired of it all.
Nope. That’s what I get for not reading all the comments! 😀
I think they’ll do just fine in Dallas. I hope they both like it and are happy there.
I do agree that Lamar is suffering from the Kartrashian Famewhoring Katastrophe.
But good on them both for being able to get away from the rest of the klan before any more damage is done! (I hope!)
I would PAY to be a fly on the wall (or a fellow diner) when/if the Bushs and the Odoms come into contact at the same restaurant! (Or anywhere!)
The Kardashians family unit is splitting up. More drama, more money for ‘E’ and all the rest. But good luck Khloe hope you get to relax a bit, and get preggers soon ! But keep standing by your man no matter what Queen Kris or the minions say. You’re going to Dallas baby Woo hooo!
This is great! She’s escaping the sinking ship that is the Kardashians!
I hope she really isn’t a Kardashian. Wish the news would come out already about that!
I think she’ll be fine. She seems to be less stuck up than everyone else, and more willing to make the best out of a situation. I think she’ll have fun. For a while at least.
I’m from the DFW area and I think they would like Dallas. It is not what you see on T.V. and old movies…it’s metropolitan. I’m more of a Fort Worth girl myself, but I can tell you that it is a good thing that they aren’t going to Houston…It SUCKS!
Dallasite here. First of all–we aren’t bi-otches. Only bi-otches call other women names. Secondly, as stated earlier–Dirk’s our guy. Class act all the way. I used to be OK with Lamar until he assaulted our guys out of anger and frustration. Definitely classless behavior when losing.
Not happy about the trade. But setting that aside, if we have to take a Kardashain (and what did we do wrong anyway?) then yeah…ok….gun to our head (and it is texas and it would take a gun)….we’ll take Khloe over our other choices.
Wishing Khloe & Lamar the best. I think it will give their reality show more interest… fans will be curious to know how they’re adjusting. It may also be good for her to get away from all the LA hype and pressure to be super thin and superficial.
From Khloe statment she seems very happy about the move and has olny good thing to say about Dallas.
(“This was an unexpected change, but I’m looking forward to the move,” she told E! News.
“I’ve heard nothing but great things about Dallas and the Mavs. Can’t wait to join my hubby there and get to know the city and all the wonderful people there.”
As soon as I pack our house up ill be there :)” she tweeted earlier today.)
This is why she the better Kardashian because she making this unexpected change positive unlike Kim who would still be bitching and crying about how life is so unfair to her.

I like Khloe. Can’t stand the rest of them.
I think most of the peeps here should actually KNOW something about Dallas (my city) before commenting on it. I live in the Uptown area, just blocks away from the AA Center where the Mavs play. It’s beautiful here and full of super high-end shopping, in fact, Highland Park which is literally 5 minutes from AA center is often called the “Beverly Hills”of Texas (Snooty enough that they would NEVER allow a Dash store there!). Lots of celebrities live here like Erykah Badu, Norah Jones, Luke and Owen Wilson grew up here/parents live here, Jonas Bros., Simpson’s grew up here, Angie Harmon, Chace Crawford, etc…
Celebrity sightings are common and most people around the area have enough dignity to not make a fuss, so the celebs who want upscale living w/o all the damn paparazzi usually love it here. I’ve seen Erykah B., Luke & Owen Wilson, Andre 3000 and Jessica S. w/ Tony Romo just shopping at NorthPark Mall and no one made a big deal. The only thing Khloe wouldn’t like is the lack of attention!!!
