Thorough anaylsis of Okafor vs Kaminsky from earlier this week from Jonathan Tjarks:
 
Kobe and Rondo are friends, but future teammates? Not likely

On Thursday, Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo were spotted around town here, having breakfast. So, naturally, that means Rondo is heading to the Lakers. Right?

Uh, no. Asked about the breakfast here at TD Garden on Friday, Bryant smiled and said: “It was delicious.”

Rondo and Bryant have sparked up a friendship in recent years, after playing the part of rivals in the 2008 and 2010 Finals. “We talk about everything,” Bryant said. “We both love the game so much, we wind up talking about the game more times than not.”

Though the Lakers, like many teams, have a standing interest in Rondo, one source told Sporting News any notion of Los Angeles acquiring Rondo is, “all smoke, no fire.” The Celtics and Lakers have had no substantive talks regarding Rondo, and sources continue to maintain that Rondo has not been shopped by Boston in any way.

Bryant said he was not recruiting Rondo on Thursday. Asked about picturing playing with Rondo, Bryant smiled and said, “I have not thought about having potential teammates before.” He added, “We get along extremely well, we see the game in a similar fashion in terms of our aggressiveness and mindset. It was good to get together with him.”

Rondo, at least at this point in the season, not only remains firmly a member of the Celtics, but a guy the team wants to build around even after he hits free agency this summer. The Celtics not only see Rondo as a building block for themselves, but as a means of attracting one of a cadre of big men available on the market this summer.

The Lakers, meanwhile, don’t figure to be very active on the trade market in the coming months, according to league sources. The Lakers were able to come up with the draft pick (from Houston) in exchange for taking on the contract of guard Jeremy Lin, and they’d be interested in adding another pick.

Los Angeles can hang on to its own first-round pick only if that pick falls in the Top 5. Even at 5-14 heading into Friday, the team’s pick would fall at No. 6, meaning they’d require lottery luck in order to hang onto it. If it is not in the Top 5, the Lakers will send the pick to the Suns.

The chief issue for the Lakers when it comes to potential trades is obvious from a glance at the roster — there are slim pickings. “There isn’t much there you’re going to give up a lot for,” one general manager told Sporting News.

Just read Clarks being dismissed to Development league.  GOOD!  Let guys play, if they aren't gonna make an impact. (sort of speak).

Just read something on Mac a Duddle.  A future TONY ALLEN?  Roobeen Patterson? LOL  Maybe that's what LA needs, a guy who can't, won't score, and just play defense?  Dude is athletic, but undrafted.  Good pick up if possible.

Rookie guard Jordan Clarkson was recalled by the Lakers immediately after D-League D-Fenders game & will be available vs Pelicans on Sunday.
 
Hard to believe Byron would bench Boozer.

Edit:

@slayinmaven The lineup Byron is starting has playing only 19 minutes together. NEGATIVE 23.5 Net Rating. @brosales12 ORtg of 96 and DRtg of 119.5.
Shout outs to Byron. :pimp:
