    Agreed. Should we go out and pick up Jordan Farmar?

    Farmar is better than Price, but we're not contending right now. We're rebuilding. Guys like Clarkson need to be playing more.

    No.

    Clarkson is already struggling for playing time, Farmar and his ego are another two factors keeping Clarkson on the bench.
    Farmar has fallen off greatly, I feel Price gives more to our team with less complications.
    If we need a bench PG next year we can look at Farmar or get the equivalent, he needs us not the other way round.
    He felt we did him wrong. We were honest and said we were waiting for Carmello's free agency to resolve. He should know how things work.
    He is now a fringe N.B.A player in this market who would be looking for a new contract who could upset Byron's tank through self preservation and stealing a close game.

    With Kobe in the lineup:

    Lin (25)/Price (15)/ Clarkson (8)
    Bryant (32)/ Ellington (16)
    Johnson (15)/ Young (28)/ Kelly (5)
    Hill (20)/ Boozer (20)/ Kelly (8)
    Davis (20)/ Black (23)/ Hill (5)

    Without Kobe:
    Lin (28)/Price (20)
    Ellington (25)/ Clarkson (23)
    Johnson (15)/ Young (28)/ Kelly (5)
    Hill (20)/ Kelly (15)/ Boozer (13)
    Davis (20)/ Black (20)/ Hill (8)

    Yes I know it's a deep rotation, but who cares? We should be in player development/evaluation mode.

    No Kelly or Clarkson tonight. Byron, find some minutes out there for Clarkson and Kelly, please. Thank you, kind sir.

    Scott should get Shaw (as I see him getting fired after the regular season the latest) to join his coaching staff next season. He needs some help.

    Well now that Kobe is probably out for the season, it looks as if Byron is officially no better than the Mike's in protecting an aging superstar from himself.

    And if the report is true this injury was known since preseason, he's a huge moron.

    He won't get the backlash the Mike's got though. Fan favorite has its perks.

    The tank is on! This is time for experimenting and seeing which guys are worth keeping. Just don't overwork anyone and keep everyone healthy.

    Yeah I absolutely love the fact that he started Kelly/Clarkson tonight ;). Puns aside though, I did love it. Looking forward to Black being in there, too when he's healthy instead of Sacre.

    But I'd like Lin to get minutes over Price. I know he won't because Byron loves that GRIT. But I'd rather give the minutes to Lin.

    I thought about this...I think they are trying and or playing Clarkson more minutes because Lin is being used has trade bait. Just a theory/hunch...

    Yeah, not sure. As we both said, Byron seems to love Price so no surprise that he's played more minutes than Lin, but I think even with Clarkson getting some burn, Lin should still play. Maybe you're right.
