As the Los Angeles Lakers get ready for the upcoming season, fans are anxious about how the players are doing at training camp, especially that Kobe Bryant is back on track, and new faces such as Jeremy Lin have joined the team.

Bryant and Steve Nash are still adjusting on playing alongside each other, and Nash said in an interview with Los Angeles Times, "In some ways, there are some moments where it's seamless, and in other ways, we're still figuring our way together because we haven't played that many games together and we've played together in three different offenses now. So it's always kind of been in flux and adjustments."

Kobe, on the other hand, does not seem to have any problem playing with Nash. "It's never been something that's been difficult. It's extremely, extremely easy. We see a lot of the same things, as far as getting to the right spots. It's effortless", he said.

Meanwhile, with Nick Young suffering from an injury, he will have to be away for about eight weeks. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson and Jeremy Lin are expected to play in lieu of the injured player.

Coach Byron Scott said that he is extremely happy about how Lin is doing on training camp. "I like him a lot. I really do. On defense he really knows where to be. He's gritty, just like I knew he would be," he said.

"He's going to guard you to the best of his ability, and he never gives up on a play. Offensively he runs the team. He gets to the basket. I love the way he pushes the ball in the open floor," he added.
