when do you think the Lakers will be in the playoffs?

[AirBonner]

With Jazz and Portland and possibly Dallas getting better/ doing a mini rebuild I don't think they will be in the playoffs for at least another 5 years.

[KingPush]

2019

[Nick Young]

I'd say next year once we acquire Durant and Whiteside.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Why not wait until the draft Mr. 2/9

If Lakers get Simmons then nexy yr in 2017 we will be in the playoffs

Anyone else I would say 3-5 years

Arent you a heat fan? :roll: :roll: :roll:

It depends on a lot of things. By the start of the next season bump this thread and it may be easier to answer.

[ClipperRevival]

Kobe is gone so it's the dawn of a new era. I feel optimistic that we will attract a couple of stars and if we land a top 2 pick and lock up Walton at HC, we might make the playoffs next year.

Impossible to predict. Could easily be next season with the right transactions.

[coin24]

Depends how involved jimmy boy is in the process.. Could be years with that fu*ktard in charge..

[Jasper]

this is 2016 , so I'd say in the west around 2026

[Cold soul]

I'll go with year or two. It depends on FA, draft, and who we hire as new HC.

[G0ATbe]

We'll stroll right in easily once we get Durant this summer. Just depends on who else we get as to whether we win the title or not.

Who will win another championship first, Lakers or Celtics?

[LakersForlife]

next season swag Bros will carry us

[Kiddlovesnets]

Depending on which coach they will hire next. With the way the Western Conference is weakening, its possible they make it next year, given that they do well in FAs and the young players develop properly.
