when do you think the Lakers will be in the playoffs?

[AirBonner]

With Jazz and Portland and possibly Dallas getting better/ doing a mini rebuild I don't think they will be in the playoffs for at least another 5 years.

2019

[Nick Young]

I'd say next year once we acquire Durant and Whiteside.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Why not wait until the draft Mr. 2/9

If Lakers get Simmons then nexy yr in 2017 we will be in the playoffs

Anyone else I would say 3-5 years

It depends on a lot of things. By the start of the next season bump this thread and it may be easier to answer.

Kobe is gone so it's the dawn of a new era. I feel optimistic that we will attract a couple of stars and if we land a top 2 pick and lock up Walton at HC, we might make the playoffs next year.
