It's going to be a very active off-season for the Lakers.

The biggest problem we've had is penetration. We're allowing guys to get in the paint too easily. They're penetrating and pitching, and that leads to open shots.

Team policy is not to comment on trade rumors, no matter how absurd they may be. But they are frustrating and annoying.

I don't know, probably hire a coach.

Right now it isn't realistic. This franchise has had a lot of success for a long time, and they're redoing it. Sometimes you have to pay the piper, and we're going to have to pay the piper for a while. That's the way it is.

If I owned a team or was in charge, I'd want Phil Jackson, also.
