That would indicate that Jones will not be dealt. It would also indicate Riley will continue to play a perimeter-oriented offense. ''I really want to change the thinking as to how we have played the game over the years because we don't have, nor do many other teams, the dominating low-post presence that we had with Alonzo [Mourning] or San Antonio has with Tim Duncan or L.A. has with Shaquille [O'Neal],'' Riley said. ``I want to get five guys out there that are long, that are tall, that are defensive and can all make plays. I think we have four of them right now and we've got a double-double guy in Brian [Grant].'' </div> That last part reminds me of the Bulls in their championship years. Even then, Riles liked the idea of having a group of guys around 6'7"-6'9"ish that were athletic and could defend. I think this could work. Odom can play PF and probably won't have much trouble at that spot on most nights.
