Lamar Odom said give him time to get his legs under him and fans will see a different player.

Odom, traded from the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 10, has struggled mightily trying to adjust to his new surroundings. He believes he knows why, adding that the lockout and two-week training camp didn’t help his cause.

“Some things happen that took me away from the game, took some time off,’’ Odom said. “You’ve got to be right mentally as a person first before you do any of this.’’
