Lakers have a tricky path to build a contender. I think a big and some wing depth are most haves. As mentioned, they need to look further out. It is difficult to do that with Lebron though. He is still really good...just hard to do it for a long playoff series now. Question...would it be better for the Lakers if Lebron opted out and signed somewhere else next year? I don't think this happens at all, but would that be better in anyway?

I can tell you one thing though, I am not looking forward to the monster season Luka is going to probably have next year. If it doesn't happen next season, I will be very, very suprised. Still really weird to not feel like I can root for Luka. Just a really sucky spot. Still a lot of mixed emotions.
