Umm hello? Did he really just say that? What a strange, strange NBA off-season we’re witnessing.
First there was The Decision, which created the Super-Friends and prompted the owner’s letter, that ignited the burning jerseys and hateful toilet paper. And now in the latest issue of GQ Magazine, well… you can take your pick of bizarre quotes in that one.
Meanwhile Superman wears kryptonite, Ron Artest is a champion, and that Harvard kid can play!
Oh yea, and the Lakers quietly improved this offseason and are poised for another 3-peat. I can’t wait ’til November.
Steve Blake is an improvement over Farmar, but I don’t really think that Theo Ratliff adds that much. Matt Barnes is a good defender, but I thought that the Lakers really needed a solid 2 off of the bench. I think it all comes down to Bynum’s health.
Theo is more of an insurance pick-up at this point. He replaces the DJ Mbenga role, but is a solid veteran. Shannon Brown will do his thing and get the team energized at the 2.
I wouldn’t be suprised seeing Blake/Barnes/Artest/Odom/Gasol as the 2nd unit… how does that match up to other teams’ starting 5s? I do agree that Bynum must stay healthy. If he puts it all together… scary.
Please wake up…
