Lakers unlikely to make a trade, GM Mitch Kupchak says

Kupchak: I don’t think anyone is untouchable. We had a player for 20 years who I guess would be untouchable, you know, Kobe Bryant. But we don’t have a Kobe Bryant right now

The Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make a trade before the February’s deadline despite not having untouchable players in the roster. Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak spoke with Spectrum Sportsnet.

Per Silver Screen and Roll, On how the Lakers are handling the lead-up to the trade deadline (all quotes transcribed via Spectrum Sportsnet):
It’s actually a little active now and I know you read about it. You’ll see some names of players. You haven’t seen names of our players. We’re not actively trying to do something. I would guess that we would not end up doing anything.

Then we get the typical disclaimer:
But you have seven weeks to walk it through and we’ll know more about our team certainly within seven weeks. We’ll know more about our team within the next two or three weeks. I mentioned earlier we’re not out of the playoff hunt.

Bresnahan then followed up by asking if anyone on this roster is untouchable:
I don’t think anyone is untouchable. We had a player for 20 years who I guess would be untouchable, you know, Kobe Bryant. But we don’t have a Kobe Bryant right now. We’re hopeful some of those guys can have careers that approach what Kobe’s done, but we don’t know that right now.
