And, when he was healthy for that small stretch this year, he was the primary ball handler. It has worked, and they will continue to use him as a primary ball handler on offense. He is the best playmaker on the team, and that is why he is so special. His ability to create at 6'10 has not been seen since Magic Johnson. Before you blow a gasket and say Im saying he's as good as Magic, Im not. But, LO has that type of potential and he is that type of player.
I agree that LO is the best 6-10 playmaker since magic. He has a way of seeing the floor. The only thing is that besides magic no one else has been able to work the 6-10 point guard thing right. I think Odom could be that player, but this team is past experimenting and they are trying to make the playoffs. Why take the risk that it won't work out right, when you could get a sure fire point guard in a trade for Odom?
