Lamar Odom Should Start for the Los Angeles Lakers

Simply put, the Lakers don't have a better option than Odom right now. 

Who else are you going to choose?  Luke Walton, who has had injuries and inconsistency problems?  Trevor Ariza, who is still young and inexperienced? 

The fact remains that Lamar Odom is still the best choice for this team.  Argue if you want to that next year Odom should not be re-signed.  You can even argue that he is overpaid.  Until the Lakers have a better option, Odom must be the starter. 

Now, on the other hand, if Trevor Ariza steps up and proves that he is better, then fine—let him start. Until that happens, however, the Lakers need to go with the man who so far stands out from the others
