Here is my latest at silverscreenandroll.com, where I break down Ed Davis' season and why he isn't likely to be a Laker next season. I posted the whole thing this time, but you can find the article HERE and vote in the poll...and of course it's formatted much better on the SS&R site.

This past season for the Los Angeles Lakers was a tough one filled with questionable decisions, unrelenting injuries, and ugly basketball. While the eventual payoff for such misery was the number 2 pick in the 2015 draft, fans still suffered through the worst year in franchise history.
