Veteran NBA F Metta World Peace has been in the news cycle lately due to a Yahoo Sports report that the Los Angeles Lakers were considering re-signing him.  While speaking recently World Peace indicated that he and the franchise have not spoken about him making an NBA comeback despite a recent workout at the Lakers training facility.

“Me and Mitch have a cool relationship but we have not talked about me coming back to the Lakers,” World Peace told the New York Daily News. “I call Mitch about other things. We just have a good relationship. Whether I come to the Lakers or not, me and Mitch would still be cool.”
“I’m still one of the best small forwards in the world but my career has been up and down,” World Peace said. “With my career being up and down, some teams are like, ‘Can we use Metta World Peace, where is he going to fit in? Is he going to be good for the rookies? Can he still play?’ I’m still one of the best small forwards in the world so that’s not a question. But the question is can I actually fit into a team and can a coach coach me? Those are realistic questions and it’s cool. I still train to be one of the best.”
