The Los Angeles Lakers could potentially pursue scorer Gilbert Arenas before the start of the regular season on Christmas Day, and if they do sign the former Wizard, you can wave goodbye to Kobe Bryant in LA.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, "Arenas' hometown Lakers continue to give the impression that they're hesitant to launch into a Gil experiment. This, after all, is a time of high sensitivity in Lakerland in the wake of Lamar Odom's exit and Pau Gasol's uncertain future with the team."
