The Lakers’ desperate attempt to add pieces, no matter how big of a risk the piece is, continues with a report from ESPN’s Chris Broussard that the Lakers have interest in Michael Beasley.

And here’s ESPN’s unfortunate “Chink in the Armor” Jeremy Lin headline (UPDATED)
So it has become quite apparent that this Jeremy Lin story has made some lose their ever loving mind. First, we had MSG Network’s attempt at creativity by putting Lin’s mugs in a graphic with a fortune cookie that they titled every so gracefully, “Good Fortune”. And now ESPN has one upped them by describing Jeremy Lin’s underwhelming performance last night against the Hornets as “Chink In The Armor”.
Oh, and if that headline isn’t enough ESPN trotting out one their analyst last who also slipped the phrase in while discussing Lin with Knicks analyst Clyde Frazier.
I bet you can guess what all this “Linsanity” has Dr. Ruth thinking about
The Washington Wizards lead the NBA in……….dunks
Let’s be honest. Though this recognition, if you can even call this that, means absolutely nothing, I’m just pleasantly surprise that the Wizards actually lead the NBA in something remotely positive.
But you gotta start somewhere right? So why not give the young Wizards some shine for their accomplishment.
And now, if you’re still with us, I will congratulate each member who has dunked this season individually.
Report: JR Smith will sign with either the Knicks or the Clippers
Fresh off his stint playing in China, former Denver Nugget JR Smith is ready to rejoin the NBA. If Twitter profiles mean anything, Smith is considering the Knicks, Lakers, and Clippers. And even with that dwindling list that once had the Magic, Bulls, and Pacers, ESPN Los Angeles is reporting that Smith will eventually sign with either the Knicks or the Clippers with the Knicks being the favorite.
And here’s MSG Network’s unfortunate Fortune Cookie Jeremy Lin graphic
The New York Knicks won their 7th straight game last night with a 100-85 win over the Sacramento Kings. And that graphic above is how the MSG Network decided to celebrate it.
See New York, this is why you can’t have nice things. Instead of just letting this great story just happen you have to attempt to be all creative.

The Lakers are just waiting for Metta World Peace to lose his mind
This should come of no surprise but some of Metta World Peace’s (or Ron Artest) teammates are counting down the days until he has a full on meltdown. Now, to be fair, Peace has been a rather peaceful (yes, that was on purpose) teammate while in Los Angeles. But that was under Phil Jackson’s regime. And the feeling in the Lakers’ locker room is that this new Mike Brown regime is going cause Peace to not be so peaceful (and yes, that was on purpose too).
And here’s Chris Bosh screaming “Good Sh*t” in the middle of LeBron James’ postgame interview
Kobe Bryant is in favor of the Lakers signing Gilbert Arenas
So this is what it has become for Kobe Bryant. The man is so tired of taking the court and watching younger and quicker point guards put Derek Fisher in a torture chamber that he is reportedly in favor of bringing in Gilbert Arenas.
Yes, the Gilbert Arenas that live tweets blind dates.
But Kobe isn’t concerned with all that, nor should he be. He is only concerned with trying to win another championship. And he realizes that Gilbert Arenas is better than what he has right now. But make no mistake; he isn’t exactly ecstatic about it all.
