Not an easy feat for a rookie on a contending team but the fact that he started the majority of games for this team probably had an impact.

This website has a ton of detail, go take a look

Caught this interview about Mills, seems like this has been a long time coming. From what it sounds like, I'm happy to let this guy sit at the end of our bench....

Just how much playing time is he supposed to have anyway?

This is copied from an insider article. I'd actually go for this, except I think I'd rather have a 2nd round pick than ANOTHER PG of the future, and with the rumors of Rasheed going to LA, this seems pretty plausible...

"The San Antonio Spurs trade SG James Anderson to the Lakers for SF Troy Murphy and Darius Morris

Why the teams should make this trade: Anderson has requested a trade because of his limited role and the emergence of Danny Green, and the Spurs are likely to grant him one. The Spurs will not tolerate players who do not want to be part of their team, and in his one-and-a-half years with the team, Anderson has never shot the ball well in his limited minutes.

However, all is not yet lost for Anderson, who at 6-foot-6 was a tremendous scorer at Oklahoma State and could stretch the defenses with his 3-point shot. He's a tough kid who can create separation and get to the basket with ease. Anderson could become a topflight scorer off the bench for the Lakers, a poor man's version of Oklahoma City's James Harden.

Currently, the Lakers have difficulty scoring points, and their bench is horrible. They rank 22nd in scoring at 93.1 ppg, and their bench is ranked 30th in the league, scoring just 21.2 ppg. Anderson could get more minutes and more opportunities to score and vastly improve the Lakers' bench. Murphy is a stretch 4 who can shoot 3-pointers and create space for Tim Duncan, and in time, Morris could be a nice backup point guard for the Spurs."

Kobe goes to the bench after a foul and was seen mouthing "Benny!" (Ref: Benny Adams) "Fu#*ing F@ggot"

I don't care that much cause its clear his emotions were flying... I'm just enjoying that we got under his skin that much that Kobe lost it on national TV

OK, yeah, I know: he's only played 4 games, its a small sample, its bound to go down with time. But still its worth noting that Matt Bonner has gone 10-12 on 3s this season so far, including at least 9 running, putting him on top of the league. 4 other Spurs are in the top 40 including James Anderson at #11, Richard Jefferson at #22, Gary Neal at #27, and Manu at #39.

He's a 6-8 SF, turns 26 on Monday. His three point shooting took a dip last year, but in years past he's shot the 3 at about a clip of 33%.... he didn't exactly get a lot of playing time on the Lakers but he can technically say he "contributed" on a championship squad.
