Antawn Jamison to me about 5 DNP's: "It doesn't make sense at all. They're pretty much telling me my services are no longer needed."

Why do you guys think D'Antoni isn't using him with Nash back in the line-up? He seems like a D'Antoni sort of player.

No ones giving up anything for Jamison. This is just bad roster management by the Lakers, which seems to be common place these days.

well they did switch coaches which would change personnel preferences (although you'd think D'Antoni would like Jamison) - but we were talking about shopping Hill not Jamison anyway

What's bad roster management? Not playing him?

Tawn needs to calm down too. Past month Hill went from DNP-CD's to last night being the first guy off the bench (not metta). Morris went from starter, to out of the rotation, to starter again. Ebanks went from out of the rotation, to starter, to out of the rotation.

His time very easily could come again, but it's not good for him that the team is fully healthy and he's not playing.

And who is Mark Medina?

because our coach is a moron and does not know how to utilize all players. specially a guy who is a great shooter, good defender and plays hard all the time.

e-monk · 12-31-2012, 08:10 AM

he's got bigger egos to deal with (Pau's) at the position and it turns out Metta can do most of what Jamison does plus he plays D and brings energy

yeah but you claimed he played defense (actually you claimed he was a:"good defender") so probably jamel assumed you were talkingg about someone else

**Jamel Irief** · 12-31-2012, 11:59 AM

Tawn is literally the worst off the ball defender on the team. I like the guy and his game, but his switches are absent and he would just stand around if his man didn't have the ball... unaware of what's going on.

I mean, to me it's odd that he's not playing at all and I think he can help the Lakers. With that said, it's not exactly good form to complain about your playing time when you've barely played the last 7 games and the team is 6-1 after struggling while you were playing.
