I am not sure that is a probability DJ. This team is stuck in mediocrity and I suspect until the Lakers (FO and ownership) step in and make some serious changes to their approach and roster, the Lakers will finish outside the possibility of a post-season. They are presently 9th in the Western Conference and if they continue this steadfast mediocrity, they'll soon join positions 11-15 the rest of the way.
This is an 8 and 11 team and the Lakers are starting-out the same way they have in the last three games. Slow to get things going and they are behind already.
