The Lakers just got a little less deep, at least for a few games. That's because it was learned before tip-off versus Orlando that Jordan Farmar will be out at least three games with a meniscus tear in his left knee. Farmar will head back to Los Angeles and skip the trips to Memphis and New Orleans to have the knee further examined on Monday. If it requires surgery, Farmar could be done until near the end of the regular season. If not, he might be back in time for Christmas Day against the Celtics.
Farmar's been mostly solid this season, despite recent concerns over playing time and talking to Phil Jackson last week about defining his role with the team. In Jordan's absence, Sasha Vujacic will likely get the bulk of the minutes at the backup point guard spot, where Farmar has averaged around 20 minutes and eight points per game.

LA is in need of a point guard (way back)
ala Jose Calderon or TJ Ford or someone
like that, for sure.
In fact, the perfect swap will be Fisher for
D. Williams of the Utah Jazz , done.
Perfect for LA, not for Utah.
Wait, I'm confused. What's with "Pollakoff?"
Plus, Sasha getting more minutes wasn't as awesome as it should have been (judging from last night's game)...
