so thats why i've seen so many PG related laker tweets today
 
they now have no PGs because Farmar and Nash are hurt
big blow
 
but maybe not because Point Kobe is back

The Los Angeles Lakers are down to zero point guards due to Steve Blake's injury and are considering their options regarding a potential signing.
Mitch Kupchak said Leandro Barbosa, Darius Morris and Chris Duhon are all "on the list" of point guards the team is considering.
"I think for the time being we're going to roll with what we've got," Kupchak said. "To find a player that doesn't belong to somebody right now that can come in and play in front of Kobe [Bryant], in front of Xavier [Henry], in front of Jodie [Meeks], it's unlikely.
"But maybe there's a player out there that we can take a look at. ... It's a good time to perhaps look at a player, but I don't think there's somebody that we're going to bring in and we're going to start or is going to play big minutes."
The Lakers plan to give elevated ball handling duties to Bryant, Henry and Meeks.
