Malone Is Not Ready To Play (http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-malone15sep15,1,1417966.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-nba-lakers)

Karl Malone has not fully recovered from off-season knee surgery and is expected to sit out part of the exhibition season, possibly more, if he decides to come back for a 20th NBA season.

Malone, 41, a free-agent forward who played for the Lakers last season, is being courted by several teams. He had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee June 29, two weeks after the Lakers lost in the NBA Finals at Detroit. He has spent most of his time since recovering at his Arkansas ranch and has not met with any teams.

"He is working out and all signs are pointing to a 100% recovery, but that is still many months away," said Malone's agent, Dwight Manley. "There is no timetable."

I just hope that the Lakers are not just sitting around and waiting for him to choose. They need to fill all the spots that they need to. and not wait for Malone to make his decision. If that means that they end up cutting/trading players to make room so be it. i just dont want to see them waiting on him to make the deals that need to be made to make sure the Lakers make the playoffs and battle hard.

I would hope they must realize that the cannot count on Malone and would certainly be willing to cut/release players to make room for him.

Instead of worrying about Malone the Lakers should worry about getting stronger at point guard.
