Re: Phil on Radman: "He's a space cadet" From the LA Times: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"He's a space cadet," Jackson said. "He could be on Mars. I know it's not on Venus, but he could be on Mars. He's one of those guys that you go like, 'Do you understand really what we're trying to get accomplished here?' And he'll go, 'Yeah, I know what's going on.' And then you ask him the next day if he knows that and he goes like, 'Yeah, sure.' And then you go, 'OK, demonstrate it to me,' and he'll lose [focus]." Radmanovic, who signed a five-year, $30.2-million contract before the season but has been bothered by a sprained ligament in his right hand, is averaging 6.9 points and only 16.6 minutes a game. He recently acknowledged he felt restrained by the offense, saying he was "thinking too much" about the intricacies of the triangle. "He is kind of a free spirit on the floor," Jackson said. "He just can't get away from that aspect of his game. He's going to touch the ball and shoot it, even though I tell him those aren't usually good shots. He still wants to know if he's hot. If he's not hot, he wants to get hot. If he's not going to get hot, then he wants to shoot so he can get hot." Jackson stayed with the frontcourt for more criticism, moving on to Kwame Brown, who implied after Wednesday's victory in Orlando that he does his best work on offense with isolation plays. "That's the only way he knows how to play," Jackson said. "He only thinks he can play if his number's called. It's a real deficit that way. Most of the time, he either travels or loses the ball on the way to the hoop. The little things that he can do for us are very important. He doesn't have to worry about that [scoring] aspect."</div>It seems like Phil and Vlad Rad aren't really getting along lately...
