A Four Quarter Pounder

LeBron James is endorsing a new burger for McDonald's*, the bacon clubhouse. We wonder what the players in his clubhouse think about him hawking a hamburger. Are they lovin' or loathin' it? Is Birdman hopeful he can ink a deal with Red Robin? Do Wade and Bosh feel less special (sauce) now that they're no longer part of The Big (Mac) Three? LeBron should keep in mind that Five Guys aren't needed to build a burger, but they are to build a basketball team.

Sleek Mills: One man who want be mulling over the menu at Mickey D's is Patty Mills. According to Gregg Popovich, Mills gained playing time by losing weight. The guard wasn't in for as many minutes last season because coach carped, "he was a little fat ass." How'd he part with those pounds? All it took was fewer patty melts.

A mute point: In contrast to being criticized by his coach, Chris Kaman hasn't heard a discouraging word from Mike D'Antoni - or any words, for that matter. Three weeks have elapsed since the two talked, Kaman confessed to the press. So a hush has fallen over more than the crowd at Staples Center. In fact, Kaman learned he was starting last Tuesday by looking at the lineup card. "I'm not in charge, I don't control the wheels," Kaman conceded. This season has shown that the wheels on the Jim Buss go 'round and 'round, but they're stuck in the same spot. At least that's our spin on the situation.

*it's how he pays for his mcmansion
