First Things First, Kobe May Have An Injured Wrist, But The Black Mamba Will Be Playing On Christmas Against The Bulls Where The Lakers Will Battle Derrick Rose Who Just Signed A Five Year Contract Extension For Ninety-Four Million Dollars.

And Holy Schadenfreude! New Jersey Nets Player Brook Lopez Broke His Foot. Lopez Was The Trade Bait The Nets Planned To Use To Snag Dwight Howard. And With Him Out Of Of The Equation, It Looks Like The Lakers Hold The Cards That The Magic Will Want.

The Lakers Waived Five Players Yesterday In Order To Bring Their Roster To The League-Max Of Fifteen. Among The Players Waived Were Gerald Green, Chris Daniels, Malcolm Thomas, And Elijah Millsap. The Shuffle Is A Good Sign For Second Draft Picks Darius Morris And Andrew Goudelock. Coach Mike Brown Was Quoted Saying That He Thought Goudelock In Particular Is Looking Good.

And In News That Is Stupid, Kobe Bryant Was Named The Third Most Disliked Nba Player Second To Lebron James At Number Two And Kris Humphries At Number One. But The Results Were Biased Because These Women Were Handing Out The Survey.
