When asked by Billy Mac on Lakers Live if the Lakers were about to make a major trade, Phil's response (after a dramatic pause) was: "We certainly are thinking about it, but there's not anything that's imminent, right now."

A "yes", but no one new is coming here.

I wonder what Billy MacDonald, means by major versus what Phil Jackson means.

"No" means "no," unless it means "yes." Here it may mean "maybe." Unless it really means "yes" or it really means "no." Then again, maybe Phil misunderstood the question?

I hope that means "We are definately thinking about it but I doubt we are going to rush into anything."

I think we should re-evaluate at seasons end when hopefully we have a healthy line-up that played together for the last part of the season and the playoffs.

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld:

Reports that say trades haven't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are no no's; there are some no's that mean we know that no trade will take place. We also know there are some no's that mean we know some trades are brewing but cannot say. But there are also some no no's - no's that mean we don't know whether a trade will take place or not.

According to CL Bucher says we are interested in Kidd or Bibby.

I've never heard Phil hedge like that! the fact that he's acknowledged that much is a postitve thing, let alone him saying there thinking about it. I think its already been agreed upon in principle and we're awaiting the anouncement. Phil wold normally just say "we're always looking to improve the team yada, yada, yada! this is pretty forthcoming for him....IMO

BTW, who hasnt played tonight? that might be a clue!

I hate Bibby but i might change my mind if he's in purple and gold. That boy can shoot.

Sounds like there's a chance of happening. Usually Phil dismisses any chances of having a trade midseason. We'll see what happens. I'm still of the opinion that nothing will get done like the last few years.

This team desperately needs Gasol. Bynum is just not ready to play those many minutes.

I think Mychal Thompson might be available, for the MLE!!...

I can't imagine the Kings trading Bibby to the Lakers.

I think it's obvious the team wants a major trade. Phil is not scared to hide it. and he probably knows the team needs something major if there gonna go on great run.
