    No way Phil goes back to the Lakers in their current state.

    Do you guys think that if they keep Pau for the long-term, sign Kevin Love(don't know how possible this is), sign some decent players, maybe Phil comes back? And its so obvious that Jeanie is better suited to be running things than her brother.

    Phil will be 68 years-old next month. He's done.

    I really need to remember all of his health issues. You're right he is probably done which is pretty sad cause of the way he went out.

    He is going to need to play a ton of minutes like the end of last year (This is IF he comes back to last year's form) to get to the playoffs THIS year.

    Not sure how their chemistry will be to start the season. Might be pretty good since Nash and Pau will be the leaders on the floor until Kobe returns.

    But when opposition hits and it becomes clear the Lakers won't make the playoffs, I can see them falling apart. Everybody on their team except Steve Nash has a contract that expires next summer. Every single role player knows they won't likely return. They also know D'Antoni is a dead coach walking and won't have any say in whether they return or not. That combination of circumstances could completely shatter any semblance of team chemistry by January or February.

    Things could get very ugly in Lakerland and I will enjoy every minute of it. Then they will be crushed next summer when LeBron returns to Miami and Melo either stays in New York joins LeBron. Lakers only hope is to win the Andrew Wiggins sweepstakes.

    If Jordan Hill doesn't work out, he prolly envisions Kaman as a stretch 4
