Lakers Nation Week In Review: January 4 – January 11

The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling mightily and trade rumors have been dominating headlines.

The team is falling behind in the Western Conference standings and with many of its players injured, wins are hard to come by in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant is still a couple weeks away from his return and the Lakers are missing his leadership both on and off the court. Steve Nash, Steve Blake and Jordan Farmar are also sidelined and the play making responsibility is in the hands of D-Leaguer Kendall Marshall.

It was a busy week here at Lakers Nation which featured trade rumors involving Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Kevin Love.
