From media reports it is rumored that Lamar Odom is looking at the possibly to play in China for the 2013-14 CBA season. The CBA has become a popular destination outside of Europe for NBA players due to the short season and high pay that CBA teams offer. It seems also that NBA players want to play in China to expand their global brand. If Odom does take a serious look at playing in China he would follow the footsetps of other NBA players such as (to name a few):
Steve Francis
Stephon Marbury
Gilbert Arenas
Kenyon Martin
Patty Mills
Bonzi Wells
Tracy McGrady
Aaron Brooks
Also from media reports Odom has been battling a drug abuse problem which CBA teams would be aware of. This would lesson his chances of being picked up by a team in China. Last season was the first case of a player being kicked out of the league for drug use when Marcus Williams was tested positive for marijuana.
The past few years Odom has been viewed as being obsessed with wanting to be in Los Angeles that he would probably not want to leave Los Angeles or live outside the US.
Lamer Odom is looking at his options, but would a team in China choose him considering all the negative media attention he has received?
