LOS ANGELES - Lamar Odom insisted he couldn?t play for the Los Angeles Lakers after the team tried to trade him last month.
So how does that make Dallas any different?
In his first game with the Mavericks since the team acquired him for a draft pick and a trade exception, Odom scored four points on one-for-six shooting before being ejected in the third quarter for complaining about a charging call.
In his second game, Odom finished with six points, making one of 10 shots in a blowout loss to Denver.
Odom?s third game was equally charmless. He scored four points on two-for-11 shooting as the defending NBA champions lost to Oklahoma City to fall to 0-3.
At least his wife, Khloe Kardashian, seemed to be adjusting to life in her new city.
"Wait I LOVE the Dallas Mavs Maniaacs!!!!! LOL," she tweeted during Dallas? opener.

Couples like this don?t last
At this rate, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant won?t be on each other?s Christmas lists much longer.
Seven months after Oklahoma City?s dynamic duo engaged in a shouting match during a playoff game, Westbrook and Durant?s antics during a timeout against Memphis on Wednesday were worthy of a trip to the timeout corner.
Westbrook barked at Durant. Durant said something back. Westbrook walked away.
Westbrook was originally irked when he drove into the lane and passed to teammate Thabo Sefolosha, who declined to take an open shot in the corner. Westbrook yelled at Sefolosha to shoot the ball and remained incensed heading into a timeout, triggering his exchange with Durant.
Both players downplayed the incident. Durant explained to reporters: "Everybody was yelling. It wasn?t just myself or Russell; it was everybody."
On the plus side, maybe the talk therapy is working; Oklahoma City won its first four games.
