Whether Lamar Odom or Kris Humphries could play for the Boston Celtics may be small potatoes next to the two big petunias in the lives of those two players. Yes, we refer to the Kardashian girls.

With rumors rampant that the trading block has thrust the neck of Lamar Odom across the NBA, could it be he would end up in Boston?

More surreal possibilities exist than Khloe Kardashian entering the Hub, like Cleopatra on a barge going down the Charles River.

The only moment that would be more surreal would be having the future Mrs. Kris Humphries, the redoubtable Kim Kardashian, galloping across the Harvard Bridge on Paul Revere’s mount.

Yes, Boston has not had women quite like the Kardashian sisters since Carol Channing and Mary Martin came to town, in a turkey of a play at the Shubert for standing room crowds only.

Boston is already known for fairly self-important wives, not to mention a few women who deserve the title. 

Already in residence, with no likelihood of leaving the metropolitan area while their husbands play, are Gisele Bundchen and Shannon Allen.

The wives of these two Boston sports superstars are prominent on the scene for what they do and don’t do.

We cannot imagine the foursome of Shannon and Giselle with the two Kardashians, tag-team sisters demanding the attention of the always-limited Boston media.

Since Boston’s press corps already has attention deficit problems, we fear for their ability to cover games if two Kardashian sisters end up dominating every Celtic home game for the upcoming season.

The JumboTron would not be big enough.

Perhaps Shannon Allen can cook up a show with her cooking tips for three women who have never seen the inside of a kitchen.

We are not even sure one room could hold these women. Good heavens, we are not sure the TD Garden could take the strain of the clash of the stars' wives.

But, we secretly love the idea.
