it's highly likely the Lakers will improve next season
the question is: by how much and will they even contend for playoff berth?
Frankly I don't care about making the playoffs next season if we play mutiple blue chip age-22 and under talents showing star promise.

They will definitely improve by virtue of getting older and learning/maturing, and also via not having Kobe's stifling on and off the court presence around.

You mean the prospect of playing with the all time great Kobe wasn't enough to get LMA to sign?Havlicekstealsit wrote:Derozan & Whiteside are going to command lots of money, but not Durant type money. Seems like Pat Riley's one of the few guys persuasive enough to get stars to team up & sign for less. Unfortunately, he works on the other coast. Not sure if the Buss family has anyone with that influence, considering they blew their chance at LMA last summer.

They have some assets (mostly the top 3 protected pick) and a massive amount of cap space and the Lakers' cachet.
With competent management, they will be just fine in a few years.
Is Simmons your top choice if they get the top pick?Kobeunderbite wrote:If we keep the pick we're in decent shape moving forward no matter who or what signs in the offseason.
