Kupchak Has Desirable Commodities

As the February 23rd trade deadline gets closer and closer teams are working the phones hectically trying to get something done. One of the teams that would like to add a player or two is the Lakers. With the exception of Kobe everyone on LA?s roster is pretty much available. In a recent interview, Kupchak stated he felt the team could make the playoffs as is, but did acknowledge that it would probably take a move for the team to have any significant post-season success.

Smush Parker and Sasha Vujacic have filled the void to the best of their abilities, but with injuries to Aaron McKie and Laron Profit, the Lakers are thin at the point.

So who exactly can the Lakers get? Odds are the player won`t be a current All-Star. They`d likely have some sort of injury issue and/or monster contract.
