And those possible matchup problems are the reason why I want Odom and Miles on this team. And because both are unselfish, it is great for the others on the team because they won't take everything on their own and they'll let the others get involved.
As long as this team has Miles, Odom, and Brand in the starting lineup, I think this team can push for a title.
I do not get that same feeling if Kandi is in there over one of them(though I know thats another thread). And I don't get that feeling if it's Andre Miller or Jason Williams instead of Odom.
Part of the reason I think this team has so much potential is because of the versatility that Odom and Miles have. If you trade Odom for a guy like Miller, even though Miller is a fantastic player, I think it takes away from that. It puts the team in more of a traditional role with it's PG and SF, rather than something unique that teams truly need to focus on to beat with wings like Odom and Miles. Both of them have the ball handling ability and unselfishness to make up for the lack of a true PG in the form of Miller IMO, and I couldn't imagine a better duo.
I think Odom will always be the superior player, but I think Miles will be a star, and that duo, along with Brand's consistent low post work will make this team a winner. I want those 3 together at any cost. And that is a huge reason why I do not want to see Odom go anywhere.
