Teammates Worried about World Peace

Metta World Peace might be on the verge of a meltdown, according to some of his Lakers teammates, and coach Mike Brown might be at the core.

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.”

What’s more, a source close to the team told FOXSportsWest.com that Brown wouldn’t be averse to trading World Peace — not necessarily because of a personality clash but simply because he hasn’t played well.
