- Kobe probably not healthy

- Took on Jeremy Lin

- Gave Young a 6M$ per deal

- Gave Hill a 9M$ per deal

- Gasol rejected contract offer

- Steve Blake ditched them for Portland

- no head coach

Gotta be worried they make it into the top 5.

I think Kobe would take Shaq back at this point.

If Kobe can play at a min level they'll be below average.

There roster is so bad right now you can't jinx that.

Hopefully Kobe gets them 30 wins at least.

Lakers arg going to go after Kevin Durant. please no.

unless Westbrook bails, why would Durant leave a perenial WCFinalist and title contender to go to the dumpster fire that the Lakers are and still will be by the time 2016 rolls around? I mean, they won't even have Kobe at that point and they'll be three years out of the playoffs and running.

I don't think OKC appreciates Kevin Durant. Didn't the newspaper call KD mr. unreliable during the playoffs?

Even if the Lakers get a top 5 pick next year, the next year the pick is protected top 3, and the year after no protection.

It's about time for the Lakers to suck for awhile. Of all the bitching about Sarver not getting top talent to come, hey they were so confident that Howard would never leave them they traded for him without an assurance and he left. They too struck out on Lebron and also Melo. The now can't keep Pau. I'm sure a lot of Laker fans are going to be calling themselves Cavs fans next year too. I don't see a guy like Durant leaving OKC and going to L.A.. I could be wrong of course, he just doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Love likely isn't going there. They have little to look forward to other than they have their Kobe to cheer on as he wheels his chair onto the court each night and takes up 30+% of their cap space and 110% of their Ego space. There's a good chance we end up with a pretty good pick.
