Lamar Odom to Grab Some Pine?

Not a half bad idea, actually.
Coach Buddha is toying around with it, as the NBA exhibition season grinds on. Coach Buddha on the subject after Odom got run primarily with the bench guys at a recent practice:
“We’re having Lamar come in and play off the bench so that he can start thinking about how he can help the team and what he can do when he does that,” Coach Phil Jackson said. “But I don’t know if I’ll experiment with it in a game yet.”
Nothing will likely be official until Jackson finishes his search for the rare out-of-print book “I Am Putting You On the Bench Because I Don’t Like You But It Would Be Nice if You Would Still Play Hard Anyway” for Odom to peruse.
