Chad Ford = John Canzano?

Link to ESPN article on Free Agents. Ford has a shopping list of who's available...but...I'm confused. He says quote, "3. Lamar Odom, Lakers Odom will be one of the most coveted free agents on the open market. Phil Jackson likes him, but with Kobe, Bynum and Pau Gasol on the roster, the Lakers don't need him and might explore trades for him in the coming months. Odom's penchant for disappearing in big moments (see: 2008 NBA Finals) hasn't helped his rep in L.A. But he is a great team guy who can rebound the ball and initiate the offense. And he doesn't need the ball to be effective. If he doesn't stick in L.A., a line of teams will be waiting to snatch him up. " At the top it says "originally published 26 February 2009," but is that really true? Either someone republished an old Ford article and slapped today's date on it, or Ford is a noob. Odom is huge to the Lakers success right now, and he can't exactly be traded...since the trade DEADLINE has passed. Ford = Canzano? Yowzas.
