Patrick O'Bryant reportedly wanted a move down to the D-League in order to improve his stock as an upcoming free agent.

"We told Kosta to go down and he needed to play some games and (to) do well, and we'd bring him right back. That's what he did," Don Nelson said. "Patrick, on the other hand, wanted to go down. He needs to be seen, needs to play. I'm not going to play him on a consistent basis, so it was both of those situations."
