Are the Lakers by default the Third Best Team in the West?

[L@CaT]

1. Golden St

2. Houston

3. L.A. Lakers



Kawhi bumps them up to number two depending on the moves Houston makes.


The Best Ball is played out West

If the Lakers strike out on every other big name they'd be lucky to grab the 6th seed as currently constructed lol

 

[KingJay]

Idk if they're any better than Denver, Minnesota, or Utah who should all improve

 

[TKOK]

wouldn't put them above the 6th seed with just Bron.

this team isnt as bad as everyone thinks if they keep Ingram/Kuzma, they may realize All Star potential sooner than you think. Lonzo Ball paired with Bron will be a much better player. Still some good Free Agents left. Kawhi is a Laker, whether its this year or next.
