Lamar Odom wants to play for the Lakers but said the business of sports dictates that players have to move on.

"I'm 100 percent down for the Lakers," Odom said. "But you have to understand that this is a business. Nobody likes to be traded off their team. But if you do, hopefully your game protects you and puts you in a situation where it's comfortable, as far as being accepted by the other organization."

Odom, who has two years and $27,397,192 left on his contract, said he would seek an extension if he is traded.

Odom has been getting treatment for his shoulder three days a week and said he hasn't talked to the Lakers about the trade talks.

"I don't think it's like that for me to have to talk to them right now," Odom said.
