I was AT the game, screaming for Laettner to pass the ball on that play.  Doug
was indeed wide open UNDER the basket.  Don't get me wrong, I've been a CL fan
since his frosh performance against Alonzo/Georgetown, but it seems he's not
being a good little rookie.

I don't know about the travelling, but he has an annoying tendency to lose the
ball whenever he puts it on the floor while driving the lane in traffic.  He
also has developed a Hurley-as-a-frosh impersonation whereby he does a
noticeable amount of on-court whining about the calls he thinks he should have
gotten but didn't.  His off-court demeanor is becoming tarnished as well -
apparently he didn't show for a scheduled personal appearance/autograph signing
session at a local Target store simply because he didn't want to do it.

This team should be doing measurably better than last year's rag-tag collection
of players, but is not.  Understandably, this leads to player unrest.  I don't
think the situation will improve without a personnell change, and the obvious
change to make is a coaching change.  It has to be part of the coaches job to
mesh the players' personalities, and that just isn't happening.  New Jersey
will be here tomorrow night (oh boy, our one visit a year by Rick Carlisle!),
then Dallas on Saturday.  Rodgers might survive a loss to New Jersey, but I'll
bet they can't show him the door fast enough if they actually lose to the lowly
Mavs (whom they have already defeated once or twice this season).

Interesting that a team that is at the NBA salary cap (which is right

EXEMPTIONS!

A team can, I think, increase a player's salary up 35% per year. The cap really
only applies when aquiring new players, by draft or by trade. It keeps teams
in smaller basketball markets more competitive.

Right. And that scoring opportunity will probably still be present in
the 90's Lakers, if Vlade, Perkins, Worthy etc dish out off the post when they're
doubleteamed, and if Sedale et all get him the ball when he's spotted up.

Of course, I'd prefer to see Tony Smith or Anthony Peeler as the off-guard

OK, so maybe I won't refute'em :-)  You argue your points well. I think

when/where he's ready to score is a factor.

This thread is getting alot larger in scope than I had originally
anticipated. Originally I was arguing that *insofar as the loss of Magic
was concerned*, Worthy is right now hurting worse than anyone else on
the team. I'm still convinced of that, Jerray's fine forensics notwidthstanding.

	Jim Jackson was on the local news this morning. It seams that
the Dallas Mavs have finally broken down and offered him a 6 year deal
in the 18 to 20 mill range. J.J. however is holding true to his word
that he will not play for the Mavs under any circumstances.
	Personally, I would like to see J.J. stay here in his home
state and wear the orange and blue of the Cleveland Cavs. Imagine a
backcourt of Price and Jackson! One can only dream. On the other
hand, Danny Ferry would look great in a Mavs uniform!

Well, well, I think we've found the answer to our problem, and even in your
own post.  So, would you mind telling me how Worthy's depression from the
absence of Magic is hitting him an ENTIRE YEAR late?  Worthy's numbers dropped
from like 21 ppg, 49% to 19+ and 46% the year after, entirely acceptable
considering that the Lakers lost one of the best players and playmakers in
the game.  Now you're saying that the drop from 19 and 46% to 14 and a god
awful 41% is because Magic left?  It might work, except that Magic is long
gone!  It's hurt his game in all facets?  That's funny, right after Magic
left, it was Worthy who picked up his once awful rebounding and it was Worthy
who became the best playmaker for the Lakers.  He was on his way to nearly
500 assists!

What gets me is that not only are you wrong, but the belligerent way you
treat people who argue with you.  "IF you would READ what I wrote.",
sounds pretty asanine.

I don't want to defend the AP article, but NBA salaries usually change
from year to year.  So what was true during last year's playoff may
have changed this season.

I believe that SI doesn't, sounds more like The Sporting News.  Why

Is this the first time the Lakers haven't shown up for a game? If it's the
last, then be thankful cause there are still 60 games to go. I suspect that
Phoenix will see nights like this as well; perhaps against LA, who knows.

Seattle pulled one of these no-shows against, of all teams, the Bulls! However,
at 15 and 7 I am not worried :-) Aren't the Lakers something like 14 and 7?

An ugly win is a win nonetheless!

As a side question, how many back to back games have various teams played so
far this year? Phoenix? Lakers? Seattle has had 7 already and is 4 and 3 on
the back end.

Maybe they're waiting for the after New Year's sale on the '93 model feet :)
