From the LA Times:
There's only one day remaining before the trade deadline, and it looks as though the Lakers will not be a major player in the market.
The Times' Mike Bresnahan reported that talks about possibly acquiring Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich were at a "stalemate." Bresnahan wrote: "The Bulls want to part with Hinrich's contract (two more seasons after this for a total of $17 million), but they will take back only expiring contracts. The Lakers, definitely conscious of how far they are over the luxury tax, have an expiring contract of note in Adam Morrison ($5.3 million) but they want the Bulls to also take Sasha Vujacic, who has one more season at $5.5 million."
It'd be a nice pickup for the Lakers. Hinrich could replace Derek Fisher long term...maybe even now.
