In the second half of LA’s most recent game — a loss in Philadelphia — Gasol had zero touches in the low-post. Even though KG is a scrappy defender, Gasol must get more opportunities to exercise his considerable pivotal skills. Although Rondo can run...
The LA Lakers may or may not go to see Arenas later this week when he suits up to put on a show. That hardly negates the fact that they have certifiable issues in their backcourt right now. Derek Fisher's production has waned this season and the bench...

Of course, without another closer, the Lakers relied solely on the 33-year-old Bryant to save them. Andrew Bynum is emerging but has yet to reach star status, while Gasol, Metta World Peace (a.k.a Ron Artest), and Derek Fisher are approaching or are at...

Derek Fisher has asked for all the Lakers to be in Los Angeles on Dec. 3 to be physically present for the players vote
Nobody in the game has Bryant's combination of skill and will to win. Even at his advanced age, Kobe is still ready to take on all comers. Bryant has more championships than any active player, with the exception of teammate Derek Fisher and is tied for...
Even when two of the supposedly elite teams confront each other -- as the Lakers and defending champion Mavericks did Jan. 16 -- the results can be hideous. All in attendance will remember Derek Fisher's dramatic, tiebreaking 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds...

I don't think that's ever the plan (for me to shoot the last shot)
The Lakers have potential to be this year's Philadelphia Eagles more than anybody right now ... Two of their guys (Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher) are getting long in the tooth. Kobe has been injured more often than not. With a shorter season, you don't know if it will help or hurt them. If a significant ...
I am never the first option, but my teammates trust me
I’m not a volume shooter and I donât get a lot of shots ... I just try to stay ready and prepared to help my team. … I’m just glad I was able to help the team win.
Kobe demands a lot of attention and he trusted me to make the right play
You just have to try and block out as much as possible the way the overall game is flowing and really try and zone in on your impact on the game
Our fans and the support from the people and (their) patience through a large part of this process – that's where a lot of this credit goes to
The efforts that have been made have been largely with them in mind.
For myself, it's great to be a part of this particular moment, in terms of giving our fans what it is that they so badly wanted and want to see
I think coming out of today, obviously, because of the calendar, we can't come out of here feeling as though training camps and the season is going to start on time at this point
My gut tells me that there's no way Commissioner Stern and the NBA would damage their business by making us miss a whole season
We just feel that a little bit less — or a lot less — of talking outside of the room and more talking inside of the room is better for everyone
The person that spent the least amount of time in the room has no ability to make that statement
We can't talk about one part in a vacuum because it impacts the entire system, so we haven't been, at this point, inclined to say that's a huge thing, because without other things it doesn't mean much.
We were never on strike, we were locked out
With that being said, there's a lot of work left to do. Attorneys and lawyers will handle a lot of the heavy lifting
The most important key is our fans and the support from the people and the patience through a large part of this process. That's who a lot of this credit goes to ... The efforts that have been made have been largely with them in mind.

We’d appreciate you respecting that process and not putting our players in a position where they can end up legally hurting the players as a whole
