The Lakers await a decision from Karl Malone and have made an offer to Slava
Medvedenko, both free-agent power forwards. They also have contacted free
agent Vlade Divac. The Lakers have offered Malone their midlevel exception,
but Malone is getting calls from the Spurs and Miami Heat, and Divac
probably would not come for less than the midlevel exception. Among his
considerations, Malone's wife, Kay, was born in San Antonio and, he said, "She
loves it there."

These have been difficult weeks for Malone, who left Utah after 18 seasons and
found disorder, complicated by the first severe injury of his career. He has
had knee and finger surgeries since the end of the season and still is
trying to make sense of the departures of Jackson and O'Neal.

He sat on his couch in Newport Beach on Thursday, iced his knee, and mulled
his future.

"My love, my caring for Kobe and Shaq is the same," he said. "I've lost one of
them. On one hand, I'm happy. On the other hand, I'm unhappy.

"So that's where I'm at. I know how hard the kid, Kobe, worked and he deserves
what he's gotten. But I miss the heck out of Big. I wish it would have been
handled better with Shaq and Phil. Those guys, that's what I signed up for."

After some trepidation when he moved to Los Angeles from Utah, Malone said
he still feels the draw of the fans here.

"The people have become so important to me," he said. "That's what's tough.
I could never have imagined what the people would do for me personally, in a
single year…. I get strength from that and I got through a difficult time
in my life, with my mother passing and then getting hurt. However it goes, I
will never forget these people."

Luke Walton sprained his left wrist Thursday during a Summer Pro League game
in Long Beach. X-rays and an MRI exam were negative, but Walton will sit out
the remainder of the summer games…. A familiar face was at Thursday's summer-league game as 82-year-old Tex Winter
pulled up a courtside seat and pronounced himself a free agent in the
basketball consulting business. "I have my shingle out," said Winter, one of
Phil Jackson's assistants…. The Lakers have scheduled a news conference for
today to introduce new arrivals Lamar Odom, Brian Grant and Caron Butler.
