<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>OAKLAND -- Mickael Pietrus was the most voluble Warrior seeking a change of venue last week before the league's trade deadline. But he wasn't alone. Though he eschewed Pietrus' speechifying, second-year center Patrick O'Bryant would have equally welcomed a move. And, just like Pietrus, O'Bryant is all but certain to pack up and go elsewhere once the season is over. "I'll play anywhere I'll (get a chance to) play," O'Bryant said. "I'm a basketball player, not a basketball watcher." This much is clear: He doesn't plan to sign up voluntarily to serve under Warriors coach Don Nelson again. "Obviously, if something weird were to happen and Nellie didn't (have his option picked up), then maybe," O'Bryant said of a return to the team that selected him No. 9 overall in 2006 but this summer declined to pick up his third-year option.</div> Source He deserves to play instead of giving our starters 40+ minutes every night. POB is a good player, he has a bit of a post game and even a mid range shot. He's a good rebounder and defender as well. I think he can be a very good player, if he actually gets his minutes.

Kind of a wasted pick.</div> It was kind of a wasted pick because we could use some help from a second year player than have to go sign Chris Webber. Still, I think POB may have some value if we can sign and trade for him. The only rub is others in the league haven't seen much of him. If we can get a Channing Frye in return, it would be okay.
