The surreal Twitter feed of Metta World Peace
The Lakers are in their final window to use their one-time amnesty, from July 10 to 16.
Does that worry Metta World Peace, who could be waived by the team to save roughly $15 million?

World Peace’s Twitter feed is a bizarre but entertaining stream of non sequiturs.

The Lakers have yet to decide on if they’ll use their amnesty but many were fooled by World Peace who has mastered the art of “trolling” fans on Twitter.
