Here is why the Lakers wont make the playoffs:
A lot of teams in the west have secured a spot in the playoffs.
1) The Nuggets, K-mart has made them a contender now.
2) The Rockets, you know why
3) The Jazz, picked up Okur and Boozer
4) Spurs, Brent Barry can back up Parker and Ginobli and shoot 3\'s
5) Kings
6) T-wolves
The Mavs and have a better shot than the Lakers. Lakers lost Fisher (a big piece of the team imo) Karl Malone, SHAQ (Miami got the best of) and now the team is runned by Kobe. And then theres the Suns who I think we do well with Steve Nash.
And Brian Grant hardly owns, hes mediocre. And that is a huge hole left in the Lakers now.
