Should the Lakers trade Metta World Peace (aka Ron Artest)? Are his teammates tired of him? According to a report from FoxSportsWest.com, two anonymous Lakers said some of the players would like to see World Peace gone.
World Peace is “walking around all crazy-like. We’re just waiting for him to go off,” one Lakers player recently told FOXSportsWest.com, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Added another teammate, also requesting anonymity: “He’s always talking about how he should be playing no matter how bad he’s shooting, but he can’t figure out that when he takes bad shots and misses eight in a row it puts us in a hole.”
“There are a lot of guys in here who’d just like to see him gone,” one player told FOXSportsWest.com on the condition of anonymity. “I think we’d definitely be a better team if everyone didn’t have to walk on eggshells when he’s around.”
We really don’t know if this is true or not. World Peace has tweeted and said don’t believe it.
Don’t believe the media. Lakers are fine. Me and coach have great relationship. Once we get use to each other –(wins on wins on wins)
