I've already posted my thoughts about the Lakers (and the rest of the Western Conference) here. But, my basic summary is not enough at the 1 or 5 positions, which are the most important positions in today's league. I think LA finishes no higher than 5th in the West, probably loosing in the first round.

Oh, and believe me, I've been watching Golden State enough for the past four years to know that no matter how they look on paper at the beginning of the season, they'll find a way to eff it up. Don't count on them winning more than 30-32 games this year. Especially with a rookie coach instilling a whole new defensive and offensive scheme, and new pieces at PG and Center. (Okay, Foyle isn't a new piece, but he barely played last year).
