Radmonowhatsit Demoted to Third String

Finally, a Vladimir Radmanovic sighting.

He had not played a minute in two games since losing his starting job, which prompted Lakers Coach Phil Jackson to say, "He'd like to assassinate me, but we're not going to let that happen." Then Radmanovic entered Sunday's game against Minnesota with 2:21 left in the second quarter. He did not take a shot and never reentered the game once the quarter ended.

Radmanovic was part of Jackson's master plan to spread the court on offense, but now he has given way to Luke Walton and tumbled from first string to third string, from 21.5 minutes a game to under three total minutes the last three games. "I can't really say I'm excited about two minutes of playing time, but it's definitely more than last game.

The soap opera continues. Don't know why only the LA media is covering. Lakers drama this its more riveting than the starbary saga. Zen master is probably trying to start a SF that won't let Pierce have his way with him but Luke Walton is nowhere near the answer.

Exactly.

Luke Walton couldn't guard Leon Powe, much less Paul Pierce!!!
