Laker fans may not want to hear it, but the Lakers are not players during the deadline.

Dialed in Lakers sources say if anything is done at all it will be more about the luxury tax and shedding a few dollars than trying to make a major change within the team.

The Lakers have been talking, but sources say there just is no desire on the Lakers part to make a major change and that barring something earth shattering, the Lakers are going to hold the line.

The same can be side of cross-arena rivals the LA Clippers, despite rumors of a willingness to deal, the Clippers are expected to hold the line as well.

Shaping up to be a quiet deadline in LA.
