Los Angeles Lakers reserve point guard Jordan Farmar wants be a starter, either with the Lakers or another NBA team. "I want to run a team and be the lead guard," Farmar said Tuesday on the sidelines of a basketball clinic in Singapore. "Hopefully, it can be here (with the Lakers)." "There's a lot of jobs out there. I feel I have a lot to offer."

Farmar said he wasn't surprised general manager Mitch Kupchak fielded trade offers from other teams during the off-season. "I've talked to Mitch a bunch of times and he says he's got a ton of offers and didn't consider trading me," Farmar said. "It's just you have to entertain all the offers you get." "Since I haven't got traded, it means they want me here." Farmar, who grew up in Los Angeles and played two seasons at UCLA, said veteran point guard Derek Fisher will likely begin next season as the starter again. "Derek's had a great run," he said. "He's probably going to be the guy starting off. I just want to continue to push him."

i think he could be a starter...farmar is the type of player who flourishes as a leader. as of now, shannon brown is really givin him a run for his money to take over as starting point guard when fisher's time is up. should be interesting to see how this unfolds.

If he wants to be a starter he needs to prove he is even worthy of being a 2nd string player. He hasn't improved as much as expected since his rookie season.

Money....but the thing is, he's so used to being a team leader his whole life that it's tough for him to be as consistent in the limited playing time that he's been getting. notice how much his stats dipped from 07-08 to 08-09, because he had a lesser role.
