Good news is that Lakers will lose a ton of games now and get a higher lottery pick. Hopefully D'Antoni gets fired soon. With any luck, they can find takers for Pau, Young, Kaman, Henry, etc before trade deadline and get hopefully a future first round pick in return for them.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kobe Bryant is expected to miss about six weeks with an injured left knee, dealing the second major injury setback of the year to the Los Angeles Lakers' superstar guard.

Bryant made his season debut with the Lakers Dec. 8 after nearly eight months away while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He apparently was hurt again Tuesday night in Memphis while playing his fourth game in five nights.
After playing six games in 10 days, the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history is out again until February or longer - and the Lakers' already miserable run of injuries got even uglier.
''You hate it for Kobe,'' Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters after practice Thursday. ''He's worked so hard to get back, but he'll be back. He'll be back in six weeks. We've just got to weather the storm until he gets back.''
