Lamar Odom to NBA Development League


   The Dallas Mavericks Management had officially assigned Lamar Odom to the Texas Legends in the NBA Development League.

   Odom was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for a first-round draft pick and an $8.9 million trade exception after David Stern vetoed a proposed three-team trade with the New Orleans Hornets involving Odom that would have sent him to the Hornets, Chris Paul to the Lakers, and Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets

    Odom last played for the Mavericks last February 20 and missed all of the Maverick's game since the start of All-Star Break.

According to inside source, Odom was out due to family matter. 


Coach Rick Carlisle said Odom will return Sunday.

“He has to come back and play his (butt) off,” Carlisle said. “He’s got to play hard, got to be into it and that’s it.”


   Lamar Odom was adjudged as the  NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award last season after posting an averaged 13.5 points, 7.5 rebounds in 28.4 minutes of the bench.

Derron Willams owned Jeremy Lin




   The NBA All-Star point guard from the New Jersey Nets just proved to be overmatched against Jeremy Lin as he scored a conference high 38 points on 8/10 shooting from the three-point area with 3 rebounds and 4 assist to lead the charge for the nets. 

    The game also marked the returned of Carmelo Anthony who was sidelined after suffering from a groin Injury Last February 6. 
Jeremy Lin scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assist and 4 steal , an all-around game but failed to get a support from their All-Star players Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire who scored 11 and 17 respectively. 

   Prior to the Knicks vs Nets game, Lopez wasnt able to play due to unspecified reason after playing against the Bucks, while Baron Davis had played his first game wearing New York Knicks jersey and was able to score 3 points in less than 10 minutes. 

   Brook Lopez who suffered from broken right foot since the Season started had nine points and two rebounds in less than 22 minutes agains the bucks last saturday. Upon Lopez activation from the injured list, Jordan Farmar will unlikely be out until the All-Star break due to groin injury who averages career high 10.5 points this season. 


                             Watch here the highlights of the game.

Allen Iverson Broke and now will play Soccer




Another NBA Legend was added to the list of high-earning players that ended up broke once again. Allen Iverson will be joining the list of Scottie Pippen,Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson to name a few. 

The 1996 First Pick and Rookie of the year, 11 time all-star,2 time All-Star MVP (2001 and 2005), 4 time Scoring Champion(1998-99,2000-01,2001-02,2004-05) and the Most Valuable Player of the NBA season 2000-01 who had earned around 200million plus during his NBA Career was on the other side of the money ladder as he is now broke and required to pay his $850,000 debt from jewelry. 

NBA legend Allen Iverson is in the middle of considerable financial disaster right now, currently holding such little cash that a judge has ordered his wages garnished to pay back a jewelry debt of more than $850,000. The guy needs money as fast as possible, and for Iverson that means getting a basketball job. Yahoo!'s own Adrian Wojnarowski reported two weeks ago that Iverson has an offer to play in Puerto Rico, and Chris Broussard of ESPN.com cites sources claiming he'd spend some time in the D-League if it meant a chance at an NBA job.

NBA Legen Allen Iverson was offered by the Ronchester Lancers of MISL top level of pro Indoor Soccer today. A contract worth of $20,000 per game with a bonus of $5,000 per goal scored,win bonus and merchandise bonuses were offered to Iverson. 

"Allen Iverson is one of the premier athletes of our time," said Rich Randall, Vice President of the Rochester Lancers.  "With his athleticism and competitive hunger, I think he can be a great fit with our team and fans as we make an important playoff push, while also driving interest to an exciting, growing sport."
