How would this Lakers team do next Season?

[BallsOut]

Hypothetically if they were to sign these players..

PG: Lin | Nash | Clarkson
SG: Kobe | Young
SF: Johnson | Henry
PF: Boozer| Randle | Davis
C: Hill | Sacre

How would this Lakers team do next Season? Playoffs? Top 4 in the West? WCF? Championship?

[LeJohn Janes]

Who is the coach?

I'll say first round exit.

[magnax1]

Wont make the playoffs probably. They need someone other than gasol.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Can they sign Blake having traded him less than a year ago?

10th seed in the West, 43-41.

Who is the coach?

I'll say first round exit.

Let's say Byron Scott was the coach, hypothetically speaking.

[Jameerthefear]

10th seed. Wouldn't make the playoffs

[SpecialQue]

The west is competitive as hell. We need to see how Randle plays, but even at his best I don't see them higher than 7th and a first round exit.

[Artillery]

Randle's gonna bust. Bad pickup by the Lakers.

Kobe/Gasol/Randle are the first 3 options. Plus they'd have the best bench in the league..

They can boast a giant frontcourt of Gasol (high/low post passing) + Randle (beast down low), which can be similar to the Memphis Grizzlies frontcourt of Marc Gasol + Zach Randolph. Let's not forget, Lakers also have Kobe.

I don't see how they miss the playoffs if you guys have the Grizzlies making it.

are you retarded?

[BallsOut]

are you retarded?

No, I believe retarded is selecting Aaron Gordon with the 4th pick in the draft.

Or sending two future 1st round picks to get Elfrid Payton two spots down in the draft, when you could have selected him to begin with.

Aaron Gordon>>>Randle
Proteted 1st+2nd for a starter>>>someone who might not play in the NBA EVER.
The Lakers are not making the playoffs next year. Sorry bud.

Still doesn't explain how Magic didn't just pick Payton themselves and save their future first round picks when they picked two spots before Philadephia.

Orlando Magic. Giving away picks and franchise centers since 1996.

[zoom17]

6th seed at best.

[STATUTORY]

better record than Orlando Magic guaranteed. playoff team at very worst
