I think the Lakers are probably done as a contender. They are a good team though, if they can get another healthy Lebron and Davis seasons. Put them in the East, and they may be a top 4 seed. The West is just a bloodbath.
Although you can never count out them lucking into a prospect. I just can't see who that player is. Zach Lowe says if they offer their two remaining unprotected first round picks that is pretty valuable considering Lebron will be long gone by the time those picks happen. But who is that player? If the Clippers stink, is that Leonard? Would you really give up your future to gamble on Leonard? KD? Seems like PHX goes at least two more years before that owner makes any changes. If the player is too good, other teams will have better offers than the Lakers. For instance, they can't get Markennan.
I am not sure what the move is, but I think they find some move this offseason to find a better fitting rotation player. Maybe Vanderbilt going out and getting a shooting wing back.
