| Quote: | Lakers assistant Quin Snyder may be favorite for Charlotte Bobcats job
Now that former Utah Jazz coach has taken his name out of the running for the Charlotte Bobcats head-coaching position, according to SI.com’s Sam Amick, only two candidates remain: Pacers assistant Brian Shaw and Lakers assistant Quin Snyder.
But Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register writes that Shaw is thought to prefer the Orlando Magic opening, which would leave the Bobcats job to Snyder.
Ding writes:
Snyder, 45, doesn’t have the NBA experience of Shaw, who was passed over as Phil Jackson’s replacement when Brown was hired as Lakers head coach. But Snyder has an outstanding grasp of the NBA pick-and-roll game and connected very well with Lakers star Kobe Bryant in just one year together.
Snyder, a former Missouri head coach who rebuilt his career in the D-League after NCAA violations in Columbia, was in Charlotte for a second interview on Wednesday, this time with owner Michael Jordan. Snyder’s Duke pedigree doesn’t seem to be an issue with North Carolina alum Jordan. |

| Quote: | Los Angeles TV helicopter reporter planned to cover ‘Lakers victory parade’
Now that the Los Angeles Kings' Stanley Cup parade is over and the formal activities of the team are coming to a close for the season, maybe their friends in the media can finally figure out it's a hockey team the city is celebrating for once.
After logo, mascot, player name and historical mishaps along the way to the Kings' first Cup, the LA media -- specifically KTLA -- decided to send the team away for the summer with one more error as they prepared for Thursday's parade.
The Los Angeles Lakers were knocked out of the NBA playoffs on May 21. The Kings played seven games after that. Hockey fans realize the place hockey has in the same market as a legendary franchise such as the Lakers, but can there be some sort of meeting over the summer where the LA media affiliates get a hockey education |

| With Messina and potentially Snyder out the door, it would be wise to pick-up some solid assistant coaches..... |

| Quote: | L.A. Lakers: Breaking Down Pau Gasol's Real Trade Value
The Pros
1. Gasol is a tremendous passer and can still be that complementary piece that can help take a team to the next level. Though his postseason numbers were terrible, Gasol managed to have a decent regular season, averaging 17.4 points on 50 percent shooting despite being a third option behind Bryant and Bynum.
2. Gasol has a soft, efficient touch from 10-12 feet and can make those open shots all day long. Being seven-feet tall allows him to shoot over most defenders.
3. Gasol's basketball IQ is excellent. He usually makes the smart play at the right time—it's an intangible that you can't teach.
4. Gasol is the consummate team player. He has good basketball self esteem. Gasol merely wants to win and works hard to accomplish that. |

| Quote: | NBA Finals: Ex-rivals Fisher, Perkins get used to playing together
Former Lakers guard and Celtics center now on same side with Thunder.
Oklahoma City • After playing for archrivals for the bulk of their NBA careers, it hasn’t always been the smoothest transition for Derek Fisher (formerly of the Los Angeles Lakers) and Kendrick Perkins (formerly of the Boston Celtics) to blend together with the Thunder.
The two were on opposite sides for a pair of championship series, with Perkins and the Celtics winning it all in 2008 and Fisher getting even in 2010.

We already have the top assistant coach in the league. His name is Mike Brown.
Nate McMillan would be a good head coach signing. I know Kobe endorsed him. |

Jim Buss is an idiot. Hired Mike Brown to be head coach when the better option was his assistant. Now watch as the Bobcats win 50 games next year and Quin wins coach of the year  |
