    It'll be different when Andrew Bynum comes back.

    Yes. They will.

    That said, they are struggling tonight.

    they do suck


    kobe 33 years old
    fischer 37 years old
    gasol 31 years old

    the foundation of this team is old

    starting ebanks and roberts today is proof that they have no depth

    only bright light in their future is bynum, but one swallow doesnt make a spring

    even if they make the playoffs, they are probably looking at an early exit


    maybe the player formerly known as artest can meditate them to victory

    They'll be improved once Bynum comes back but he's as injury prone as they come anyways. The Lakers are close to the point where they should clear house and rebuild with new, younger players. However, it's highly unlikely that they make the smart move and trade Kobe while he still has some trade value. No way are they a serious contender with this current roster though.

    too many other teams have gotten better, lakers have stayed the same if not gotten worse over the past 3 seasons.

    Lakers make playoffs as a 4 seed. Beat Memphis in the first round and lose to OKC in the second. Book it

    no way the lakers make the playoffs. if they do, they will have made some trade to make the team better. kobe is hurt and soon will give up, prob.

    side note:

    lakers play again today. 3 nights in a row to start the year, with a limited training camp and a banged up, short staffed team. utah is not good but even if kobe wasnt hurt he prob would get a rest tomorrow anyway.

    They will, but I think they'll be between a 5 and 8 seed. Bynum changes everything. He makes their defense so much better.

    Without Bynum now, this team reminds me of the Lakers after Shaq left and before Pau got there.

    probably. i mean lol they lost to the bulls via a last second shot, then they lose their 2nd game of a back-to-back vs a fresh team. and oh btw they haven't had andrew bynum. if you think those losses are hugely indicative of something, you're most likely overreacting
