EL SEGUNDO - The Lakers already have made one decision, and that was to let Smush Parker know he won't be back next season.
"Smush is not someone that we are going to actively seek out to come back and play with us," Phil Jackson said Friday.
Parker started 162 straight games for the Lakers before he lost his job with two games left in the regular season; he didn't play much in the playoffs. His at ude had been questioned by the staff and his teammates.
A free agent as of July 1, Parker regressed in his second year in LA. He shot worse from the field (.436) and free-throw line (.646), and his points (11.1), assists (2.8), rebounds (2.5) and steals (1.5) all were down.

Laker fans breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Yeah, this is quite surprising.
</sarcasm>
Who will be Phil's next whipping boy when Smush leaves?
I'm shockedI don't think he'll be the only one shown the door before next season starts.
Yeah but he needed to be whipped.
well we already gt beno s no need for him
Even Rafer Alston is better than Smush Parker.
Anyone remember when he said that he expected to play all the time? I think it happened when Jackson benched him.
i remember his first couple weeks as a laker he averaged about 20 points and laker fans were saying he was going to be the next great laker.

Not this Laker fan. You get what you pay for. He could be a solid backup PG though.
Yeah, I called him a scrub and people when nuts on me

it was only a matter of time but this is still good news now that it's official
Good call. He has the tools to be a good PG, but he's lacking the IQ to make it happen. I'm sure some team will pick him up.
Like P&G said, Smush could be a very good backup point guard for some team. He can play when motivated. He's just an idiot! Phil lost him during the Jason Kidd talk. He knew he was the odd man out. Instead of being a professional about it and show Phil why he belongs in a Laker Uniform, he rebelled. He copped a serious at ude with the team and Phil. It was inevitable.
Have fun in the Euroleague Smush! At least Farmar has some promise, Smush is awful.
Radmanovic.
Wow Laker's let their second best guard go. lol
Farmar looks sloppy, I think Vujacic has better talent.
From a playing standpoint, he proved you wrong (I said he was a scrub, too). It's his fifty cent head and his bad at ude that are the reasons he's out.
