"The Dallas Mavericks acquired forward Lamar Odom and a second-round draft pick from the Los Angeles Lakers for an $8.9 million trade exception and the Mavs' first-round pick, the teams announced Sunday night.

Odom should help ease the loss of center Tyson Chandler, who was traded to the New York Knicks in a three-team deal. The Mavericks received an $11 million trade exception in the sign-and-trade, $8.9 million of which they shipped to the Lakers in the Odom deal.

Adding Odom and Vince Carter to a mix that already includes Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and Shawn Marion has Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle giddy.

"We're going to be a very good team," Carlisle said. "And we're going to be a dangerous team.""
