Look for the Lakers to stand pat as the NBA trade deadline looms, Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times writes.

"I don't think that we would tinker with the team, make a move like bring in a player where it's something that would take weeks to teach him the offense," Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak said. "I don't think that would improve us as a team. I would rather see us get healthy. But it is the time of year where the rumor mill will pick up, and I'll certainly be on the phone looking for ways to improve."
