Are they speculating or is this being reported? Reports from Smith say he was sent home, not that he went home, so I'm skeptical of the first part of the bolded.
Raja will not be with the team tonight... Is he being traded??

It was about 3 hours ago that I first heard those comments. Since then they have said that he was sent home after "heated conversations" with Corbin. They are not saying that the team has made any official announcement about playing time, but they are saying that is what happened. There are enough media members that follow the team to know stuff like that without any official team announcement. I'm working while I listen so I'm not exactly hearing every single word, but that is what they keep saying today.

Bell and Miles for Lamar Odom??? We'd have a team option on him at year end and could let him walk.
Bell and Miles for Randy Foye from the Clips who's awful this year and expiring along with some filler?

Damn it Raja. You are the vet who has been steady after a horrible start. You aren't a game changer anymore though.
Get over yourself.

This is a test of Corbin's leadership and control over this team. Will he stand up to Raja and put him in his place, or will he fold? I guarantee that the other players are watching to see what and how he does. We need strong leadership, not a spineless wimp who cannot stand up to a whiny over the hill player.
Do it, Ty.
If the scenario being tossed around in here is the case and Raja is pissing and moaning then I hope Ty gives him a DNP.

So he cuts his minutes and he rumbles last year, he does so again and this time a bigger rumble. Maybe this is part of the balancing act that Corbin has to deal with between vets minutes and young player minutes.
Not all players will be so vocal or make it public (somewhat) like Raja did but there are real people with real emotions behind those jersey's and he has to try and keep them in line at the risk of completely losing the player(s) while trying to win and keep the fans happy.
Sad thing fans say they're okay with losing with the young players and for some that is true but we know the majority don't really mean it. Reminded of a couple of sayings, since when do people really know what they want or be careful of what you ask for. I'm not saying I agree with everything he's done/decided I'm just trying to realize what's all on his plate and I just hope KOC and management have clearly communicated expectations to him and he's just not following what worked for Sloan thinking that it kept him employed for many years.
So after all that rambling what I'm trying to say is there's many issues and each issue has many sides to it and I'm not necessarily on any one side. The Millers have to communicate or let KOC do his thing so can to do his job and KOC also has similar responsibilities to Corbin and he does the same to his assistants and players so on and so forth. So just felt like trying to play devils advocate or balance out all this hyperbole.
That's the worst thing I've ever read. That show is only reruns. Jesus ****ing Christ. Where is the commitment level to the team? This is Corbin's fault somehow! Trade Corbin for Carl Winslow! Maybe Al would be engaged then. Maybe trade for Laura if that helps Al. Then trade KOC for Stefan Urkquelle.
