Will the Lakers make the playoffs in 15-16?

We probably be a middle of the road team next year. Look young and talented,but not excatly playoff worthy yet. Hunch is we will be in 2016-2017 for sure.

I doubt it, but if we do, our chances at whoever we want in free agency shoot way, way up.

There is a big HOLE at SF.

C Okafor or Towns/Davis/Black
PF Randle/Hill/Kelly
SF (???) Johnson
SG Kobe, Young, Vanderblue, Jabari
PG Clarkson, Lin, Price

If the SF hole can be filled there is enough talent at the other positions
to get lucky. Trade 27 and 34 pick to move up or pick up a SF?

Couldn't find 26-30 wins. Need a new poll

Russell/ Clarkson
Clarkson/ L. Williams
Bryant/ Swaggy P
Randle/ Larry Nance
Hibbert/ Black

I say, yes; 7th seed.

Golden State
Houston
clippers
blazers
Memphis
Spurs
Dallas
Pelicans

OKC.

Were the playoff teams last year.
We can pretty much lock GSW, Memphis, Spurs, OKC, Rockets for a playoff spot.

Clippers, Blazers, Dallas aren't as much a lock because of NO Center(clips), starting 4 left(blazers), old dirk and monte left (dallas).

3 spots free for the taking. I think we can do it!

Russell/Williams
Clarkson/Young
Kobe/NanceJr/Brown
Randle/Bass
Hibbert/Upshaw/Black

We got enough defense to make it hard for teams to score on us atleast.

Mods, can you please close this one; I'd like to start an Official Playoffs thread after the moratorium ends and players sign on July 9th.

We will be 7-8 barring injuries. Book it. 48 wins. After signing 2-3 max players next summer. Playoffs is a lock.

it's still going to be close, barring any injuries.
With that said, don't think the Lakers are finished making moves, so my position might change

Are you guys seriously thinking we actually have a chance to make the playoffs??

The odds of Jeanie Buss taking over the team are much better than us making the playoffs

If the Lakers find a way to acquire Wilson Chandler and and a solid back up PG.. It will be a resounding yes.

I think they will surprise a lot of people and make the playoffs.

Don Draper · Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2015 10:02 pm Post subject:

The only thing that needs to happen for us to make the playoffs is for Russell to not be a bust. I like our chances.

lakers0505 · Franchise Player Joined: 23 Jun 2005 Posts: 10701

Possibly.

Dallas/Blazers/NO seeds are up for grabs.

Lets give OKC one.

Two seeds are available after OKC grabs one.

Who is the competition, Suns?

If we played in the East, probably yes. But we play in the West, so no.

No.

We might crack 30 wins though.

How do you not include a choice for 37 and under?

I guess I'll take 38-45, next closest thing.

Jellojigglin · Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2015 12:18 am Post subject:

Tough looking club! Maybe Mamba is a 3?

DAngelo Russell/Lou Williams
Kobe Bryant/Brandon Bass
Roy Hibbert

Jordan Clarkson/Jabari Brown
Nick Young/Julius Randle
Tariq Black

Bench
Larry Nance jr.
Anthony Brown
(Last 3?)
David Lee is he moving? Do we have 3 million for a rental big?
Robert Upshaw in Summer pro league could be huge...
Lin maybe on the move to Dallas?
Ryan Kelly maybe on the way to Indiana
Sacre as a backup?

Just as an FYI, on an NBA team roster you are allowed to have up to 15 players under contract. And you can dress on the bench 13 players.
