Khloe Kardashian Traded I mean Lamar Odom Traded But Wait No He's Not
Huffington Post - Odom, whose in-season base would have been in Louisiana, would obviously have gotten less face time in "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," the family's flagship show on the cable network. It also would have ended -- or at least entirely changed -- the couple's spinoff show, "Khloe and Lamar," which has been renewed for another season. Instead of having the show take place at their home in Los Angeles, it could have taken place in New Orleans, or been some sort of travel series -- Khloe visiting Lamar in New Orleans and joining on road trips. After all, earlier in the night, Khloe tweeted, "Not at all! I would go anywhere with my hubby!" in response to a fan's tweet suggesting that she must have been scared about Odom going to New Orleans. She then wrote, "I can survive anywhere... People are acting cray! LOL New Orleans is a great place. As long as I'm with Lam I'm good #bible." Still, while the move to New Orleans may not have gone down, it doesn't seem like Odom is quite happy playing in LA; earlier Thursday, he tweeted, "When a team trades u and it doesn't go down? Now what?" Indeed, now what is the question -- both for the Odom's career, as well as the Kardashians' TV empire.
I've never seen someone get absolutely MURDERED on Twitter like Khloe Kardashian last night. Just straight curb stomped all over Twitter. Basically everyone reporting how the Amazon Kardashian was going to play the 4 for the New Orleans Hornets. She'd fit in nicely between Lamar and Emeka Okafor, honestly would've been a steal if the NBA didn't block the trade. But they inexplicably did block the trade, so everyone has to go back to their normal lives. Well.... This is awkward. What do you think opening day at training camp will be like in LA today? Lamar just shows up like he wasn't traded 14 hours ago? Like his wife isn't huge and annoying as fuck? Does he just act normal like his life is normal and not completely scripted? Like his wife was never an NBA slam piece? Looking at you Rashad McCants. All I know is, practice should be extremely awkward today.
NBA Frenzy
I'm so dizzy from what's going on right now I don't even know where to start. All I know is Dan Gilbert is still whining like a little pussy that LeBron left the Cavs and is now just trying to ruin everyone elses team since his is in shambles. It's pretty pathetic actually. Fact he went out of his way to email David Stern, but the fact David Stern listened and vetoed the CP3 trade is such a joke. If we understand the business side of this shit, it makes sense knowing that the Hornets are owned by the league. If something doesn't fit perfect, the league is going to step in. It's horseshit, but that's life in the NBA.
On the other side, we have Dwight Howard, who at any moment will become a New Jersey/Brooklyn Net. I for one am fucking extatic about this. The Nets are giving up Brooke Lopez and two 1st rounders to get Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu. That makes the Nets big time players for an NBA Championship RIGHT NOW. Deron Williams, Turkoglu and Dwight Howard, pretty much don't need anyone else on the floor. They have dumb amounts of playoff experience, and their new arena is literally being built a block from my office and I cannot fucking wait to go to these games. Still a Knicks fan though, and shit will be fire in NY when CP3 leaves whatever shitty team he goes to this year and signs with the Knicks for 2012-'13. Boom.

Chandler To NYK? CP3 Next?! STAT GONE?! Head SPINNING.
What is going on?? An hour ago I'm yawning wondering how I got to the point in my life I ended up in a cubicle then BAM Chris Broussard starts blowing up my Twitter feed about how the Knicks are about an inch away from signing Tyson Chandler. I swear last night I was saying I think the Knicks should try and sign him, but whatever. So I'm fucking pumped the Knicks are about to have a real man playing center so Amar'e and 'Melo can play their respective games without worrying about responsibilities they're not suited for. No more banging around and getting injured inside for Amar'e, no more doubles on 'Melo all game long on the outside.
But in signing Chandler, the Knicks need to cut Billups to shed salary - with the new amnesty clause, they don't take a hit cutting him and his $14M salary. Good shit. But who runs the point? We have a 3, a 4 and a 5, but no one else. Landry Fields at the 2? Tony Douglas at the 1? Okay, then who? No this doesn't work. BOOM all of a sudden more shit hits the fan - sources saying how bad CP3 wants to reunite with Chandler (See above picture) - but how's that happen? Knicks are signing Chandler for basically max money at $14M a year from what I'm seeing, and they'll have no room at all to take on CP3.... UNLESSSSSS .... Trade Amar'e for CP3?
I LOOOOVE STAT but holy shit that deal makes sense. I would hate to see him go after all he's done in his one year in NY, but it makes so much sense. Knicks with a top 5 PG, top 5 shooter in 'Melo, and the top 3 defensive center in the league? Yeah. If they could get Emeka Okafor with CP3 in that trade, this is a fucking no-brainer. The Knicks would be an immediate favorite for the NBA championship. Fact. Matter of fact, I'm placing money on them to win it all right now, before the odds go from 20-1 to 1-2!
