After a summer filled with drama regarding his sobriety, mental state and marriage, former Lakers star Lamar Odom is reportedly headed overseas to continue his basketball career.
As first reported by Eurobasket.com:
Rumors unconfirmed at this point but whispers coming from Spanish sources indicate that Lamar Odom is talking with Laboral Vitoria.

Odom has been out of the league since last season, and over the summer faced rumors of drug abuse. In December, he plead guilty on a DUI charge from an August arrest in which he refused a blood test.
The Clippers met with Odom in November and were reportedly going to sign him, but that fell apart. CBSSports.com reported in January that Odom was nearing a return after extensive training.
