Jen Swanson is the same person that went around Thibs to the Bulls management to complain about him overusing players minutes.

Kobe was very very high on Judy. He called her his secret weapon. I wonder where she is going.

Maybe she'll keep treating Kobe and a few others on the side, semi-retire. Who knows? I always liked her vibe.

It sucks that he went behind Thibs' back. But D Rose's back might have sucked even more if he didn't. It could be argued Thibs was wrong and this guy did a better job having his players' back. Don't know. Hope he's a cool dude and a pro.

Laker management should look into poaching the Phoenix Suns staff because sometimes players get a second wind out of their careers when they play in Phoenix. Their staff is that good in maintaining players like the case of Steve Nash. Nash fell apart when he went to LA. Should have gotten their training and medical staff when Nash was traded to LA too.

Nash also broke his leg on Damian Lillard's knee. I don't think there was much they could have done to prevent that. His nerve damage from previous injuries was what did him in, and that all happened while in Phoenix.

I hate to indulge in it, but if it's true that the trainer went around Thibs then it seems Jim has his snitch.

I think the Lakers will have a great year but I don't like Jim. I'm team Jeanie.
