English. It seems to have been adulterated beyond recognition after the emergence of twitter. I'm sure there was a prophecy listing it as the antichrist of language somewhere along the way.
Translated: Word is, win or lose tonight, it's a done deal that Coach John Calipari is going to the Los Angeles Lakers to coach Kobe Bryant's Lakers. No bull****. Me: Probably the same 'done deal' Nick Saban had to Texas.

Calipari is not much of a coach in my opinion. He's an amazing recruiter and groomer of high school kids to the NBA. He basically turned Kentucky into an AAU team. Anyway, with the talent he's had from his days at Memphis and now at Kentucky, I don't think he's accomplished all that much. That would be a terrible move by the Lakers to sign him to big money. Lakers will probably hire Byron Scott if they end up going separate ways with Dantoni.
If the Lakes are destined to stink it up yet another season then why would they bring in a new coach to deal with that taint? Pringles has actually done a nice job with guys like Young and Meeks, Henry even Bazemore. He could/should continue making minimum guys have a value while waiting for max guys to get their bags packed to the Purple.
Although I dont believe hardly anything Kupchak says, I do think that he should ignore Kobe and work on moving on from his era of the Lakers. They gave him his money and he should be happy. Since he got his new contract Mitch has a chance to make another name for himself building right, and listening to the selfish dude with the broken leg isn't going to help the teams best long term interest.
Pau Gasol doesn't shut door on returning to Lakers next season Los Angeles Lakers hoping for mutual split with Mike D'Antoni, per report
