Phil Jackson was asked whether Bynum and Farmar were the team’s future foundation at their respective positions. “I’m not going to say that about either one of them,” he said. “They haven’t shown the ability to compete in a real NBA arena where they’ve overcome adversity, learned what they have to learn, have the work ethic. “I’m not doubting Farmar’s work ethic right now at all, but by saying that, immediately I throw aspersions on Drew’s work ethic. He’s more of a lackadaisical kind of guy. You have to push him a little bit to get him going out there. Not only play, but also win. That’s what it’s about here.
