Losing Artest would be a big blow for LA. Not much else on the wings for LA.
Barnes is out with an injury. Luke Walton is a shadow of his former self since the back injury.
Ebanks is their best player but he is a rookie who has received little playing time ... and will be matched up against one of the most intelligent + versatile scorers in the league in Paul Pierce. Not encouraging.
Or go small with Shannon Brown at the two and Kobe at the three. Rondo would be free from Kobe's defense and Pierce can take Kobe ... his size advantage causing Kobe problems in the past.
Not good options.
