I agree Kobe's had Pippen psyched out ever since the Lakers' first championship run. Pip used to be one of the best defensive players, but he could never be the primary focus on offense, even in his prime. He is not a team leader, never was, never will. The Bulls never amounted to anything when he was the "star" on the team.
And just like Gecko says, Dale Davis is grossly misused by Cheeks (granted, Cheeks wasn't given much to begin with at the center position). He needs to get out of Portland and play power forward somewhere else, because Portland needs a real center, and I don't think Davis will be happy playing as Wallace's backup.
