ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on NBA Today Tuesday that the Los Angeles Lakers are in a "tough spot" in regard to making any moves prior to the Feb. 10 trade deadline and that any improvement is likely "going to have to come from within."

Studio host Malika Andrews asked Wojnarowski if there was anything brewing on the trade front for the Lakers, and he provided this response.

"Listen, the Lakers tried," Wojnarowski said. "They tried to get involved with [former Atlanta Hawks wing Cam Reddish], you know the Knicks had a better asset for them. I think the Lakers are in a tough spot to do anything other than just kind of move the furniture around.

"… I think for the most part the Lakers' improvement is going to have to come from within. They just don't have tradeable assets, especially with so few sellers in the market. There are going to be other teams who can offer those select few sellers better offers than the Lakers will be able to."

The Lakers have gone 22-22 through 44 games. They recently allowed 128.3 points per game during a three-game losing streak capped by a 133-96 loss to the Denver Nuggets. However, L.A. bounced back with a 101-95 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday.
