Lakers forward Lamar Odom is fine with his role as the sixth man on the defending champions.

"I wouldn't change it. We won a championship," Odom told the Press-Enterprise. "I'm comfortable with my position. I'm still playing enough minutes. I have no problem with it. I've found my niche, my lane, as far as what this team needs me to do. It would be stupid of me to fool with that."

Odom initially bristled at coming off the bench for the first time in his career last season.
