The lakers are so full of question marks, anyone could make a case for them being either much better or much worse next year.

*IF* Phil can teach them all to work together, they can do very well, maybe even 50-wins or it could all blow up and be at like 30-wins.

*IF* Kwame Brown really just needed a change of environment and becomes a force at PF, then they could end up with 50-wins as well.

*IF* Kobe passes once in a while, or *IF* he learns how to play with Odom, will make a huge difference too.

Now i'm not a laker fan, but either way, i see the Clippers getting a pretty solid 45+ wins barring any huge injury situation.

So the lakers could either be neck and neck, with both teams making the playoffs and potentially meeting (which would be awesome for the city & basketball if it's a good series) or... the lakers just crumbling and only those true laker fans sticking with the team.
