    "5. Will the Lakers’ keep their top-three protected pick for the loaded upcoming draft class?

    In short: Yes. The longer answer involves the bounces of ping pong balls and math because of the lottery, but the larger point is that they should finish the season with one of the three worst records in the NBA. The west is absolutely loaded and, unless other teams that currently possess more talent would have to underperform expectations in order for the Lakers to leapfrog them."

    Get that weak s*** outta here! Seriously. Not a great article IMO nor reasonably accurate take on the potential of our new roster under this coaching staff.

    It's tough for me. I want to dismiss that outright too, but I need to see how these guys look out there. We're still very young.

    Agree. We do have the assets to trade for a star, IMO. We may not have as much to offer in a trade as other teams (Boston), but we can at least be apart of the conversation now. 2 years ago, that was not the case.

    Well he didn't even spend 2 seconds on the sheer size and skills of our roster of Big Men. That clip above. Black is improving, Moz, Zu, Yi, Nance, Randle. We are a big team that can substitute and not miss a beat often, if the squad has reasonable health.

    And thanks reporter Guys for answering my b****, whine and moan post yesterday with not seeing enough of the "other" guys on the team, especially the bigs.

    Yi is trade bait, Black is on a an expiring deal (can be dealt easily), and Moz might be amnestied after 2 years if not traded.

    You didn't just dismiss those three guys potential contributions this year right out of the gate did you? With Zu in the rotation possibly as well? Whatever I guess. Personally I feel confident our Big men are going to be a load for many teams to handle when the substitutions start happening.

    No, I think we have good depth and versatility at the 4 and 5 position. I think our situation remains fluid, though, and can change at anytime if the right player(s) become available.

    Very true. The deadline still worries me a bit although I'm more optimistic we will hang on to our young core.
