Lamar Odom Traded to Dallas

Only downside of this move is that I was kind of excited about seeing Brandan Wright get some time at backup power forward. I think that just went out the window. Oh well, at least we've got a team option on him. We can always bring him back next year when all these one year contracts are up.

Based on what he said, Carlisle really doesn't see it the way you do with him. They want to see him as a 5. If he can show more consistency with his shooting, they would see him more of an option as a 4.

I saw that quote the other day, but that would make him the first coach who ever saw Wright as a center. If you go back and check his 82games.com stats, he's hardly played center. I mean he's got a nice little post game, but he's not ready to bang with the big boys at center.
