RUMOR: Khloe Kardashian Killed Andre Iguodala for Lamar Odom Trade

Apparently the rumored pre-draft trade of Sixers malcontent Andre Iguodala for Lakers celeb Lamar Odom was nixed by Philly due to concerns about Lamar's reality show with his wife, famous for being less attractive than her sister. Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld reports that the Sixers were worried he wouldn't be happy away from his family and the reality show.
This is reportedly the first time in history anything that ridiculous has caused a trade to fall through. Could you imagine if Moses Malone didn't get traded to the Sixers because he didn't want to watch M*A*S*H on the East Coast? Or if Kareem stayed with the Bucks because Los Angeles didn't have his favorite nightly news anchor? Welcome to 2011.
There's also a rumor floating around that Iguodala's LA-based agent Rob Pelinka is trying to get him traded to either the Lakers or Clippers because he wants him in his hometown. While Andre's food tastes would play well in the health-obsessed-friendly town of LA, I doubt his agent is pushing a city specifically for himself. Plus everyone knows Andre hates traffic. He couldn't handle the 405 coming home from practice.
(I like the title better if you cut out the "for Lamar Odom Trade". That certainly would be a headline.)

Thought we wanted Odom since he was expiring. Maybe the pressure from home would have lowered the buyout pricetag.
Unless Odom enjoyed being away from Khloe.

This is fine by me, keep these starlets (Odom included) out of Philly. She’s just worried that Philly will rob her new pumps and she’ll find them in Leroy’s Liquor and Pawn Shop in Marcus Hook somewhere. Stay in LA babes.
By the way, I’d take Kourtney over her any day of the week.

Khloe Kardashian is fat and ruining Odom's career
Is it just me or is Lamar Odom the first legit sports star to ever want to be more famous as a reality star than a sports star? He was on Twitter today begging for Teen Choice Award votes… wtf? http://ftrsports.com/2011/06/lamar-odom-is-tweggin-for-your-teen-choice-award-votes/

Yeah this is off topic, but footballers (i.e. soccer) wives nix deals and transfers in the UK quite often. Even Beckhams wife has done so in the past, apparently. If the wife doesn’t like the city the potential new team is in, the move doesn’t happen.
As hillarious as this rumor/article is, I’m afraid with the lockout, not much other news is coming, which is dissappointing.
