That was the last time Metta World Peace played professional basketball. The Lakers will reduce Randle’s training camp workload if they sense it could compromise his ability to enter the 2015-16 season on October 28 fully healthy.

World Peace played four seasons with the Lakers from 2009-13 and was critical in the Lakers winning the 2010 championship. A young 20-year-old Randle starting his career could learn tricks on the court and in prepartion from a 35-year-old World Peace. “I’m not sure who gets the better of it.

But it seems that World Peace’s spot is nearly secure as he has the backing of general manager Mitch Kupchak.
“We know what type of defender he is”, Scott said. You’re going to have to make the tough shot over him. “It’s about how you affect the game”.
His biggest contribution may actually come offthe floor, however.
He mostly relied on the cooked meals Lakers chef Sandra Padilla provides for the team, but also shopped for groceries with DiFrancesco. And today, all that has been answered though his contract is non-guaranteed. Teams can carry up to 20 players heading into training camp. He’s also expected to play as a small forward off the bench.
The LA Lakers are brimming with young talents right now and one of them are trying to make a triumphant return after suffering a fractured leg last season.

Bryant lost his season to a rotator cuff tear in February, but balanced his own angst with months of pushing and prodding of his teenage teammate. “It is heartbreaking, because I saw him all summer”. He’s raw and it’s going to be some time before we see exactly how good Russell will be. “You’ll see”. Randle is a bit overweight and often caught struggling making his way into the Lakers offense. According to CBS Sports, Jackson said that he expects Bryant to continue playing past this year. One of the best defensive players of his generation shouldn’t be remembered that way.
