According to all of the gossip mags as well as a couple leaks yesterday the Clippers and Odom are talking and working on a deal. He's still under contract with the Mavs but apparently his agent is working with the Mavs on that. Sources have said Odom was seen having lunch twice with Vinny Del Negro this week.
“Lamar’s agent is in talks with the Clippers. He and Khloé are thrilled that he’ll be returning to the team and that they will get to stay in L.A. and be close to their families,” a source said.
“Lamar wants to return to Los Angeles and the Clippers want him. They just need to work out finances and contractual issues.”
Khloe wants to be near her own family when she and Lamar start their family and this new job for him will make that all happen so easily. She was happy to move to Dallas and would move anywhere for Lamar, but having him on a team in LA is a dream come true,” the source says.
