DALLAS -- In public, Dallas Mavericks players have been diplomatic when discussing Lamar Odom's failure to compete this season.

Their truer feelings came out in a locker room vote Sunday, when they decided not to include Odom in their share of playoff money.

A team source confirmed that Odom will miss out on about a $14,000 playoff share.

"If the Lamar thing would have worked out and if he would have played like the year before when he was the best sixth man, I think we would have had a shot," Dirk Nowitzki said of going deeper in the playoffs. "It would have given us another playmaker, another guy that's long, that can defend and rebound.

"But for whatever reason the stuff he was going through off the court was just too much. He couldn't help us the way he wanted, the way we wanted, and we had to move on without him."

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Saturday in retrospect he would still have made the trade for the versatile veteran forward.

"I'd do the exact same thing all over," Cuban said. "You go for it. You hit on those things sometimes, and sometimes they don't work. ... He wasn't the first player that didn't work, and he won't be the last."

The defending champions were swept out of the first round of the playoffs Saturday night by the Oklahoma City Thunder and cleaned out their lockers Sunday afternoon.

Odom hasn't been with the team since Cuban dismissed the forward from the team at halftime of the Mavs' game at Memphis on April 7. Cuban didn't appreciate Odom's sullen body language in the locker room, or his response to a question of whether he was in or out.
