Extended Break Seen As A Springboard Rest for the weary, finally. The Lakers hadn't had more than a day between games since the All-Star break, but here they are, seventh in the Western Conference, with three days between games, trying to heal in time for a game with the defending champions. ... "We really are starting to feel the vagaries of the season," Laker Coach Phil Jackson said. "I think this is a great time for us to have a little break in the season." -- Los Angeles Times Starting To Come Together For Brown If not for what happened to Kwame Brown in last season's playoffs, a topic that hasn't been revisited since the Lakers faced the Washington Wizards on Dec. 26, then Brown might not find himself in the position he is in today. After quitting on the Wizards during last season's first-round series, Brown has put together arguably the best four-game stretch of his career and joined Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom in leading the Lakers as they push toward the playoffs. -- Los Angeles Daily News To Be Great Lakers Will Wait The Lakers will court an even more desperate Kevin Garnett, finally ready and able to set himself free. They will revisit Ron Artest as a more stable 28-year-old after a little time to grow up in Sacramento. And they will have their moon-shooting operation, too: getting LeBron James to super-size from Cleveland to Los Angeles. Those are all legitimate scenarios for the Lakers to hit the jackpot via free agency in 2008, the club's new long- range plan, and sign a superstar to join Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom. The great-in-'08 scenarios don't end there. -- Orange County Register
