Whether it's Mike D'Antoni or Byron Scott coaching, whichever part of Kobe Bryant's body isn't working right, the past two seasons have been marked by the Los Angeles Lakers having no choice but to invest in irrational hope that someone as soft as Johnson suddenly grows nails.
Of course, that hasn't happened, which is why Johnson wasn't even in the Lakers' injury-depleted starting lineup as they played a forgettable Wednesday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks in front of only 12,544 fans.
The Lakers' starting lineup might well have been the worst ever fielded in franchise history: Jordan Clarkson, Wayne Ellington, Ryan Kelly, Tarik Black and Robert Sacre. Their season scoring average—all added together—was 27.9...
Ish Smith (guard on the Thunder) posted this yesterday. The Tweet has since been deleted, but apparently Smith can't be traded until February 6th. Maybe he got word of the trade and preemptively posted this before realizing the trade wouldn't be official for another few days. There's a chance it might be fake or he might've been hacked, but who in the hell would hack Ish freakin' Smith for a fake trade?
Anyways, if it ends up being true, I highly doubt Smith is the centerpiece. I'd guess that he's filler in a Lin or Hill trade for Reggie Jackson.
Mitch trying really hard to keep that Poker face going when talking about winning games, but the possibility of falling back and getting our own pick back. haha
