The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill
5/23/09
As the Lakers prepare for what should be quite a challenge ahead of them playing in Denver the next two games, all is not happy on the home front. The Los Angeles Times reports that there seems to be a disagreement that has caused non-verbal communication between coach Phil Jackson and center Andrew Bynum. The root of the beef comes from Bynum wanting to play more, and Jackson opting other lineups thus far.
When Bynum was asked by media if he would approach Jackson about his feelings, he stated, “Nah. It’s not really my place, it’s for him to decide what’s going on.” Bynum also told reporters that his knee, which caused him to miss 31 games during the regular season, has still not healed completely, and is giving him soreness now.
In NBA Draft news, the story in Memphis seems to be changing daily now regarding who the Grizzlies want to select this year. The Memphis Flyer reports that the Grizz will look to move up to the number 1 spot overall, so they can select Blake Griffin, and that talks of them being in love with Hasheem Thabeet over Ricky Rubio are not true.

Bynum has been playing like a punk so far in the playoffs
Having lived in Memphis for 2+ year’s now, I’m sure that the Grizzlies will manage to jack our good fortune up somehow! Part of me is suspicious of a Rubio pick…course many here locally would love to see one of our own (though just for a year), Tyreke Evans picked! It’ll be interesting to see who gets to play beside O.J. Mayo next season! Hopefully we’ll be smart enough to get to the .500 point for the first time in a while!
I think Memphis will try to get up to draft Blake, but if not, they will take the big man(Thabeet) over Rubio.
