Odom Doesnt Want 6th Man Role

[.GR]

Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said recently that he is considering making Lamar Odom the team's sixth man this season. The Lakers convened this afternoon for a media session before the start of training camp Tuesday and Odom voiced his disdain for Jackson's idea. "He must have woke up and bumped his head. He probably hit his head on something -- boom," Odom said about Jackson. "To start off like that, you've got to be out of your . . . mind." Odom, from his grade school days in New York City to high school to college and during his nine years in the NBA, always has been a starter.

Phil Jackson PROBABLY might start Trevor Ariza over Odom. There's an article about it on NBA.com

But I'm kinda back and forth on this call by Phil Jackson.

Oh yea!! I kinda forgot that Bynum was coming back, so their lineup can look just like that with KB24 and D-Fish in the backcourt. That's a pretty killer lineup if you ask me.
