Also, you can slice the tension between WCJ/LM with a dull butter knife. Someone gotta go!!!!


I wouldn't put to much stock in that, they looked like they were pairing people up based on golf experience.

Also you're reading way too much into this "apparent" Lauri/WCJ not liking each other thing.


I was exaggerating with the “someone gotta go” line, but they really don’t like one another & it spilled into the locker room a couple times last year & thwarted their chemistry. People who know Lauri personally have chimed in on it, saying “they’ll never be buddies after how WCJs behaviour”

The dude went public & stated that he was hunting for LMs job, for petes sake


First i am hearing about any kind of WCJ/LM rift.

Lauri talked about bulking up to play C last year, but wait WCJ is a C? It's meaningless talk.

It's like people making all these assumptions based on how they interpret body language.

Or if you don't try over-analyze every minor movement and facial expression a player makes.

WCJ and Lauri relationship has been rather chilly since WCJ used some not so pretty words describing why Lauri (in his opinion) does not want to drink alcohol, and Lauri did happen to overhear it. That was the straw which broke the camels back, as they had had some chemistry issues even before that. If you want to talk humorous **** to someone, then do so face to face and leave the dudes family out of it, otherwise it will be interpreted simply as mean and malevolent. It seems WCJ can't stomach a non-American dude being environmentally aware, have a baby-boy, and on top of that not even wanting to booze around in a titty-bar.

You're making Carter sound like Dennis Rodman. He's always seemed like a nerd to me. Hell, at Duke it was Wendell's MOM who had beef with Coach K, not Wendell himself.

I can't fathom a dude letting his mother speak for him over some playing time or starring role issue. Sheesh.

Is this story based on any sort of fact, or is this just Fans being bored and making stuff up?

Is this some ironic inside joke that this is even being argued? Do people not follow the Bulls? The heat between Carter Jr & LM is old news. Again, the guy publicly came out & said “I want his job”. There were reports of a confrontation/spat in the locker room after a loss. A friend of Lauri’s ON THIS VERY board verified the heat, and a Finnish dude in one of the FB groups who knows LM & his family verified it too. They don’t like one another & will never be close. It was clear as day that they dislike one another in games last year. They barely even looked at one another, never bumped fists, nothing

I'd trade whoever can bring back the most. If it's WCJ or LM, I don't care.

Their hate is nothing compared to Shaq and Kobe hate. They did well together. Players don't need to like each other to play well together.

Players don't have to be buddies to have a good team, but it helps. The main thing is for them to do their jobs above average.

Hopefully someone told him that you need to stay on the court for the bucket to count.
