It's starting to become apparent to me and some other Laker fans that Odom just doesnt have that same will to win as Kobe does. I think they have a possibility to be a great duo, but if Kobes on one level, and Odom is a level below, will it ever work? Should we continue the Lamar Odom experiment, or should we ship him out for a quality big man and keep Butler at the 3?

I was wondering something about this a couple days ago. The Lakers are still fighting for survival, and it's like Odom hasn't even been a big factor this year. Bryant and him were supposed to be this revolutionary new duo, but so far it has been a solo act.

Kobe will never win with anybody who is lower than him. Kobe needs somebody who has the confidence and talent to match his or be very near to him. Odom isn't the right guy, and I don't know who is.
