Lamar Odom isn't in the starting lineup tonight. And he's OK with it.
Two weeks after suggesting Phil Jackson must have "bumped his head" when asked about the possibility of coming off the bench this season, Odom says he's warmed somewhat to a sixth-man role. Odom still believes coming off the bench could cost him millions since he's in a contract year, but he said he won't complain any more for fear of becoming a distraction for a team he believes is championship-caliber.
"You only get one or two shots at this, you know what I'm saying?" Odom said. "Some guys might not be able to take it well, especially in their contract year. Whatever, I'm good, I've made enough, I'm OK, my family's good. Hopefully I can win a championship this year, and be rewarded for it."
Both Odom and Trevor Ariza are coming off the bench tonight. Replacing them will be Andrew Bynum and Vladimir Radmanovic.
