I will say that at summer league, some people close to Gaffney sold me on him. I think he can find a role in the NBA to start, and grow from there. I just fear the Lakers see that but are not in the financial position to act.

I’m betting the Lakers find a way to keep Tony Gaffney under contract this year. I know they want to stay at 13, but he’s long, a leaper-not quite an Ariza, but maybe someday..worth a chance, and he’s young. He’s also not Sun Yue-that’s a good thing.

44. Sorry, If this one has already been mentioned, but I didn’t see it. During Duncan’s first and second year the spurs would often start Duncan, Robinson, and Will Perdue and have Robinson play SF for a few mins until Perdue would sit.

- Phil Jackson on Andrew Bynum, who’s back in town after training in Atlanta all summer. “Andrew looks good. His weight is lighter, which is a good deal. He’s been back here for a few days (after working out in Atlanta). He’s really excited about getting back and has a goal of making the All-Star team this season.”

Travis,
I hope by “big” you mean defined. Cause in any sport and especially basketball you never want size. You want to be as thin as possible with strength/muscle definition like Michael Jordan. And Phil Jackson said he wanted to see Bynum “looking thinner” and he said that is exactly what Bynum looks like so he is pleased.

yeah, last season Drew came in lookin big. if he looks bigger on media day this year than last, we know he’s putting in the work.

Sasha, I would doubt comes in with any improved skills or mindset

LO I hope is at least in good shape.

Kobe, Pau, Ron, Fish: we know where they’re at.

Jordan and SB: They’ll be ready for a dogfight.

Long time reader, first time poster. Honestly, Lamar should be taking those lessons from the Dream… Even the Dream himself said so, “it’s for the guards and small forwards…”

Maybe Kobe passes the news to LO

Im sad to say but i think Sasha will be as good as he was or maybe worse than he was last year. He could not have had a worst summer by any means. First he gets hurt, cut by his national team, then cut his hair. His confidence has to be at low point at this time. Maybe he can be hypnotized into thinking he is the 2007/2008 Sasha.

I also want to hear how Sasha has improved. Last year he was all but non existent on offense and was foul prone on defense.

I concur with Travis. This year, Drew must really step up and be that dominant force he showed us during the first half of last season.
