"We still have to find out what the deal is going to be with Jordan," he said. "This is something that's not defined yet."
If need be, the Lakers can pick up Coby Karl, who played for them last season and is familiar with the offense, or Joe Crawford, their second-round pick in the June draft. Both players are in the Development League and able to sign with any NBA team.
Karl is averaging 16.4 points and 5.4 assists for the Idaho Stampede. Crawford is the fifth-leading scorer in the Development League, averaging 22 points and 3.6 assists for the D-Fenders, the Lakers' affiliate.
Other veteran possibilities might include Jannero Pargo, who is playing overseas, and Tyronn Lue, who is getting scant playing time in a crowded point-guard situation with the Milwaukee Bucks.
