But Matrix wouldnt be bad for a few reasons. One, he can pass, and rebound at a similar rate to Odom, he might not be able to run a offense, but he still has good awareness. Two, he can defend and shoot significantly better than Odom. This is big. The two things that make Odom a problem as a starter is his inconsistent shooting and defense at the three. Marion can hit open shots which he will be getting alot of for us and then he will go down the court and play solid one on one D', block shots, and get steals. Third, he can play multiple positions just like Odom and he will play hard every night. But the main thing is, if he doesnt work out, we could let him go at the end of the season and clear up space to pick up someone else. Wow! to be honest, I like Marion more after I wrote this. Do it Mitch! Give Odom some time but if he doesnt work out, lets enter the Matrix. I dont really like Matrix or Carter. But Matrix wouldnt be bad for a few reasons.

'cause of the departure of LH. That's why him and Kobe would work perfectly because he knows how to handle egos...and Kobe's is nothing compared to Arenas..trust me.Finacially is the best trade for LO,don't get me wrong,I've always said Marion,RJ or Gerald Wallace but for money purposes,and I think Paxson wants to help PJ get that 10th ring. The reason people discredit him is he's not a SG...he much better at PG and can still give 15 ppg,wet.
