Lakers: the lakers are easily done for the next few years.

[skut_farkus]

Houston has pretty much stuck a fork in them, they have nothing to look forward to in free agency and and their draft situation is also not looking very good(unless they really tank) they are stuck with Achilles 30 million, 40 year old Nash and one decent trade piece in gasol(possible 1st round pick bait)

Houston really did do them dirty

'antoni
2 first round picks next five years
thinking Lebron will leave Miami
thinking pacers wont match paul George
melo aint leaving NY
Wiggins to the kings
Jim buss running the team to the ground
30 million to sit courtside
clippers the hottest ticket in town 2 years in a row
Dwight leaving money on the table and lala land for Houston
stuck with Greg Monroe and John wall
Clark leaving for cleveland

Don't forget Jabari Parker to the Jazz.... Silver gonna be rollin' in that Mormon $$$$!

Didn't rehire Phil Jackson
Always throwing Pau under the bus
MWP opting in
Lebron leaving Miami
We're the Lakers! It's a privilege to play for us

On the bright side, with only $77m committed to 9 players, since they can only sign vet mins and the mini MLE, the payroll won't exceed $85m which, with taxes, is only going to come out to $100m and change, much less than the $128m sweep team.

Go ahead and count Kobe on there for a max deal as well. You know they are bringing him back & paying him top dollar.

The Lakers would be idiots to do that. So, yeah it'll happen.

Any team that was really good in 2009-2010 is pretty much done for a while now. You cant win or contend for a ring every single season, you're golng to have to rebuild at one point. The Lakers have to start now
