LOL...Rockets get another PF.

In 2004, Odom founded Cathy's Kids, named after his mother who the NBA forward says died from cancer. But eight years of tax records reveal that Cathy's Kids never gave any grant money to cancer-related causes and that the charity primarily existed to finance two elite youth basketball travel teams. Of the $2.2 million raised by the charity, at least 60 percent -- $1.3 million -- went to those AAU teams.
The only paid executive was Jerry DeGregorio, now an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors. He was Odom's high school coach and best man in his wedding...
When pressed for details about some of the expenses, Odom repeatedly responded by saying, "It's my money," and refusing to explain any further.

JUST THE SIGHT OF LAMAR ODOM, standing a massive 6’10” tall, is enough to stop anyone in their tracks. Seeing him dominate a basketball court at virtually any position – dishing a show-stopping no-look pass, knocking down a 26-foot jumper, snatching a rebound or throwing down a one-handed tomahawk jam – is enough to leave the most seasoned NBA fan slack-jawed in wonder. But when he begins to speak – when he begins to tell you his roller-coaster tale of staggering hoops success, heart-wrenching personal losses, and remarkable persistence – it’s really then that you begin to glimpse the remarkable life that Lamar Odom has led.
