Teams trying to get in last minute trades before lockout at midnight
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, teams around the league are trying to make last minute trades before the lockout is here at midnight. Once the lockout is in effect, all basketball operations will be seized and teams will not be allowed to talk to each other about trades.
The Houston Rockets are the team that are pushing the hardest for a move, Wojnarowski said. It looks like time is running out for teams right now though and it appears that we might not see another trade for a while.

Could Lamar Odom be headed to play in Europe? It seems so, according to a tweet Lamar made to fellow Los Angeles Lakers player Pau Gasol.
In the tweet, Odom says:
@paugasol it’s ya boy@RealLamarOdom ! My dude really want 2 talk 2 u! Really thinking about going 2 play in Europe after this season!Interesting! So not only does Odom want to play in Europe, but he doesn’t want to do it now like most players due to the probable lockout (although, Lamar is close to NBPA President Derek Fisher, so maybe he knows something we don’t?) and he’d want to head to Europe in 2012 after his contract with the Lakers ends.
I wonder how his wife Khloe Kardashian would feel about the move across the pond?
