Odom was the only rookie with more than one triple-double (he had 3), and is 
always level-headed and compassionate. >>

Clippers owner turned down the 76ers offer of Allen Iverson for Lamar Odom 
straight up on draft day after turning down a previous offer of Iverson for 
both Odom and the 3rd pick.  He will stay a Clipper at least until his own 
free agency.  And they will need him since Darius Miles will take a while to 
become a solid NBA player.
