The Lakers are reportedly in conversations with the New York Knicks to trade for guard Iman Shumpert. The Lakers have lost all their point guards to injuries this season and could use some help at the position. There is also an interest in Tyson Chandler – who comes with an additional year on his contract at $14.5 million.
Pau Gasol and Mike D’Antoni have been going at one another in the press over playing time the last few days. Gasol hasn’t looked mobile this season, with Kobe suggesting Pau needs to lose some weight. Pau is a free agent next summer.
