Eric Pincus's post on LA Lakers | Latest updates on Sulia

Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak said he won't trade Dwight Howard but that he is still

taking calls before the trade deadline. He's just downplaying the possibilities. "It's unlikely that there will be an upgrade in the talent of this team. I just don't see how that's realistic," Kupchak said. "We'll continue to be on the phones and make calls, take calls and listen, but don't anticipate anything dramatic taking place in the next two days." http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-dwight-howard-mitch-kupchak-wont-trade-20130219,0,2717666.story
