08:08 AM ET 12.05 | Kobe Bryant offered public support to ailing teammate Pau Gasol, who missed Tuesday's game and is likely out Wednesday, too. Bryant and Gasol had a lengthy summit Monday night at the team hotel in Houston. ... ESPNLosAngeles.com reported earlier Tuesday that Gasol [was] not sitting out Tuesday's game because a trade involving the former four-time All-Star is in the works. But a source told ESPNLosAngeles.com that Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has recently spoken to Gasol's representatives to let them know that the team will have no choice but to explore possible trade scenarios if Gasol is unable to adjust to D'Antoni's system. Tuesday's comments from Bryant echo similar statements he made last season in Gasol's defense.

If you want to trade a guy, then trade him. Don't roll out some b.s. about the player not adjusting to a system. D'Antoni's system requires a PG with a clue,which the Lakers don't have until Nash comes back.
