"{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L.A. Lakers&lt;/strong&gt; center, &lt;strong&gt;Pau Gasol&lt;/strong&gt;, is optimistic that &lt;strong&gt;Lamar Odom&lt;/strong&gt; -- his friend and former teammate -- will make a triumphant return to the NBA ... but admits he's still in the dark about what's going on in Lamar's life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All 7-feet of Pau hit up Katsuya in Hollywood last night ... where he told us he hasn't had any contact with Lamar since he began his crack-fueled downward spiral ... but he still thinks Lamar can come back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"The main thing is that he's healthy and happy,\"&amp;#160; Gasol told us ... but he also knows what it's gonna take for Lamar -- or any pro-baller -- to be competitive in the NBA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"In my profession,\" he said, \"if you don't train hard, you get off the train.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
