Lakers gonna try to "contend" with that kind of roster. 35-47 here they come!!

You beat me by a second.

Lakers have made some good moves, honestly.   Lin can still play.  Boozer can still play.  If Kobe returns to health, he might still be a star-caliber player.   Randle is probably the 2nd most NBA-ready prospect in the draft...   Should be interesting.

Interesting to see how they deal with Randle, Boozer, and Davis. None of them can play the C effectively.

Lakers will suck again. Total stay afloat move until free agency next year.

Nor they can play defense (except Davis.)

Randle will likely come off the bench since Boozer pretty much replaced Gasol. Ed Davis is another great pickup for them, but I think they're pretty deep at the power-forward position now with Randle-Davis-Boozer. Lin should be okay starting since they really need a PG (Steve Nash is an ancient by now). Resigning Jordan Hill fulfills their starting center needs. I'm not too sold on Kobe's ankles, and plus he's another year older. He'll put up some great numbers from time to time, but can he do it consistently every game? We'll have to find out.

35 wins is a lot. Do not think that team gets out of the 20s.
