The NBA trading deadline is Feb. 20, and Lakers coach Phil Jackson would love for his team to play so well between now and then that no changes are necessary. For the time being, the Lakers just ponder moves - the latest being adding Atlanta guard Jason Terry. But as he related his conversations with General Manager Mitch Kupchak, Jackson talked Wednesday about how the Lakers' needs have changed throughout this season. "When we have a discussion, it's usually about what do we really need on this basketball club and then what do we have that's available that we can work at," Jackson said before the Lakers' 99-90 victory over Phoenix. "At one point this season, we needed rebounding. Samaki (Walker) was injured; obviously we were getting beaten up on the inside; Shaquille (O'Neal) wasn't active enough to get rebounds and chase down balls. "We solved that problem. Samaki got healthy ... we're now one of the leading rebounders in the league. "We were an inaccurate shooting team for a long time, and we changed that. We just kind of believed in our guys up to this point. But we do know that our bench is not giving us a damn thing; we've got to have something out there besides just sustained effort. They've got to score. "They've got to do something as defensive stoppers; Robert (Horry) has had that ability in the past, and Devean (George) has to provide that for us. And we have to have a guard come in and help us out, too." Jackson takes exception to the notion offered recently in an ESPN.com article that he hampers Kupchak's efforts to alter the roster in hopes of keeping his familiar guys. "There's nothing factual in an article like that at all," Jackson said. "But when you've been as fortunate as I have been in an NBA career and won as often as I have - not due to my own credits, but due a lot to organizations, because organizations win - there's no reason to come back at a reporter." Jackson was more disappointed because he said he has been especially accommodating with ESPN the Magazine in the past. "I had an inclination of calling up ESPN Magazine and talking to their editorial staff about who allowed something like that go in," Jackson said. </div>
"(The Lakers) are looking and listening. (Jason) Terry and (Nazr) Mohammed would give them some youth, but they would probably cost them Robert Horry, a guy the Lakers don't really want to trade. ... The other guy the Lakers are looking at is Austin Croshere of Indiana." There you go. Check out ESPN.
