Even though Phil Jackson echoed comments from General Manager Mitch Kupchak about making a trade, he doesn't envision anything major happening.

"We're obviously not happy with the way we've played recently but ... the reality is we have a team that's pretty experienced and knows how to play in the playoffs, so I doubt if we do a multiple-[player] change," Jackson said.

Los Angeles has very little in terms of tradable assets on their roster.

The Lakers have 'zero' chance of trading for Carmelo Anthony, according to a person familiar with the Lakers' thinking who declined to elaborate.

The Lakers have a $5 million trade exception thanks to the Sasha Vujacic deal, which saved them about $8 million in salary and luxury taxes, but they would use the potentially helpful exception only if they found a willing partner in a deal that made sense.

Kirk Hinrich is one player the Lakers have always had on their radar.
