Ugh, offseason priority: Point Guard.</div> What a flawed way to look at that. So if Nash, or Arenas didn't provide for 1 game then the teams new priority should be a new point guard? I don't care whether they hate or love each other as long as they play ball. You people need to look off on what they are doing with their personal life and their problems.....THEIR problems, and focus on what they are doing on the court. Stop being gossip queens....

Stop being gossip queens....</div> Did you seriously just mention Smush in the same breath and sentence as Arenas and Nash? Are you nuts. Smush has been inconsistently bad for us all year long, where as Nash and Arenas have been two of the most consistent guys. Arenas, believe it or not, is one of the best players in the league and is a go to guy in the 4th quarter. Nash? The league's MVP...do you want an argument for that? Now for Smush? WOW! A PG who puts up a little over 3 APG? Wait, his 12 points really help! Too bad we saw those about once every 4 games. But surely, his steals help...right? WRONG. Smush gambled a lot. For every steal he got, he would give up 3-6 baskets. Smush is not our PG of the future, he's a transition player, and a PG should be our priorty because of his lack of speed for the Western conference and his defensive liability.

Did I say anything about Smush having a fight with his girlfriend before practice or anything of that nature? Two players on the same team having some tension is not "gossip", it's a reality. Yeah, if the Lakers are WINNING games it's going to be less obvious.
Relax guys, it's definitely a fact there is tension between Kobe and Smush. However, I think they can work out their differences in the offseason and I hope Smush is invited to work out with Kobe all summer long. Having to defend the best player in the league all summer will definitely improve Smush's defense for next season.
smush knows his place. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> "Kobe's our leader," guard Smush Parker said. "(But) everybody here in the Lakers' organization knows we have a group of guys who can play basketball. "Our execution on offense is to slow the pace down, pound the ball inside, take a little time off the clock. That's the kind of game we have to play to beat the Phoenix Suns." Bryant averaged 25.5 points in the first two games, while the other Los Angeles starters are all in double figures. "He's doing a real good job of being a floor general on the court," Jackson said of Bryant. </div> http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AjAV...ov=ap&type=lgns

I said if they didn't provide for 1 game then their priority should be a new PG using his logic.... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Now for Smush? WOW! A PG who puts up a little over 3 APG? </div> Uh....do you know how much he is leading the point and setting up plays? He does it maybe 2 times a game its usually Lamar or Kobe.
