If Andrew Bynum is both healthy and productive this season, he could conceivably take minutes away from Lamar Odom.

Heading into the season, Odom says that he's content with his role as Lakers' sixth man, but no one can predict how he might react if his minutes are reduced.

Even though Odom was the first man off the bench for Los Angeles at times last season, he was on the court late in the fourth quarter of close games.

If Bynum proves himself worthy of remaining on the court in crunch time, Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register writes that Phil Jackson could have an issue on his hands.
