Report: Mavericks Vote Not To Pay Lamar Odom Share Of Playoff Revenue

Usually there's one silver lining to getting bounced from the NBA playoffs in round one: You still get a share of the revenue generated by your team's appearance in the postseason, generally a handsome five-figure check. But that's not the case for Lamar Odom -- according to Jeff Caplan of ESPN Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks players voted to cut Odom out of their playoff money.

A source confirmed to Caplan that Odom will miss out on about a $14,000 playoff share -- pocket change considering that Odom made a base salary of $8.9 million this season, but still a meaningful symbolic gesture to say Odom's services in Dallas were not appreciated.

"If the Lamar thing would have worked out and if he would have played like the year before when he was the best sixth man, I think we would have had a shot," Mavs teammate Dirk Nowitzki said. "It would have given us another playmaker, another guy that's long, that can defend and rebound.

"But for whatever reason, the stuff he was going through off the court was just too much. He couldn't help us the way he wanted, the way we wanted, and we had to move on without him."
