The good folk at Silver Screen and Roll are currently in the process of grading the LA Lakers' roster from last season. Starting at the bottom, and working upwards, thus far they've given grades for...
"Has any player in NBA history done less in the course of winning back-to-back rings?"
"We love him because he is one of the few players in the league without a single ounce of pretentiousness. We love him because, despite getting paid literally the least amount of money he could earn for an NBA career of his length, he is one of the NBA's most visible philanthropic forces."
"What made Josh a valuable bench guy last season was his ability to step right in and be a short term solution due to injuries or foul trouble."
"Hi Luke! C'mon in, have a seat. How is your dad? That's good to hear. It's wonderful he got that gig up in Sacramento. We'll try to get you some minutes when we play the Kings. Especially since we'll blow them out at least once, right?"
"...this season taught Sasha something. He know has composure, can now, for the most part, control his emotions. He knows it's the only way he can get minutes."
"The separation was a mutual thing. Jordan has been making noise about wanting to start for a couple years now, and his fit with the Lakers was a classic example of a square peg and a round hole."
More to come...
