Don't be so harsh, man. I mean, they always got a 'second shot' at it (Guatemala, looking at you).

Good find. Thanks for sharing.

Lakers pick up option on Bynum for next season LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Lakers have exercised their $16.1 million contract option for next season on All-Star center Andrew Bynum. Los Angeles announced the move Monday. General manager Mitch Kupchak confirmed last month the Lakers would exercise the option. Bynum is coming off his best NBA season after averaging career highs with 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds while making his first All-Star team, starting for the West. He was the NBA's third-leading rebounder and 20th-leading scorer while also ranking sixth in the league with 1.93 blocked shots per game. Bynum also avoided the injuries that have dogged him throughout a seven-year career since the Lakers made the New Jersey high schooler the youngest player ever drafted in 2005. Bynum played in 60 of the Lakers' 66 regular-season games, missing four due to suspension. http://www.nba.com/2012/news/06/04/lakers-bynum.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2

When Kobe calls it a career... will the Lakers retire only his #24 jersey or both (#8 and #24)?

Clippers, Olshey Agree to Part Ways The Los Angeles Clippers and Neil Olshey have mutually agreed to end discussions concerning Olshey's future with the team. An agreement in principle, reached and announced on June 1, will not be completed and the two parties have agreed to part ways. "Circumstances have obviously undergone some movement since our announcement Friday. In light of that, we want to wish Neil well and acknowledge his contributions during the time he spent with the Clippers," said Clippers' President Andy Roeser. A search for a replacement is already underway, headed up by Roeser. In the interim, all responsibilities pertaining to the team's basketball operations will be absorbed by Roeser, Head Coach Vinny Del Negro, and Clippers' Director of Player Personnel Gary Sacks. Roeser, one of the longest-tenured executives in the National Basketball Association, recently completed his 28th season with the Clippers. http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/clippers-olshey-agree-to-part-ways-120604.html <_<

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An 18-31 record usually isn't enough to for an NBA coach keep a job. For Randy Wittman, six of those wins came at the right time. The Washington Wizards announced Monday that Wittman will return as their coach next season, retaining the position he accepted after Flip Saunders was fired in January. Wittman, who had been Saunders' lead assistant since 2009, didn't make much of an impact on the won-loss record until late in the season. The Wizards finished 20-46 - second-worst in the NBA - but they finished on an upswing, winning their last six and eight of their last 10. Wittman also appeared to connect better with Washington's young roster than did Saunders, who was originally hired to lead a veteran-laded team when he came to Washington three years ago. Former No. 1 overall pick John Wall was among the players who publicly said they wanted Wittman to return. The announcement, therefore, came as no surprise. There had been no recent indications the Wizards were shopping for a new coach, and Wittman was already under contract for another season. Source
