Let's say the Rui, Bamba, and Reed deals do happen but the big one didn't. My projected lineup:
AD, Bamba, DJ
Bron, Wenyen, JTA
Rui, Troy, Max
Lonnie, Reaves, Reed
Schro, Russ
Where do you have us finishing the season? Consider that after our 2-10 start, we were 23-20 to end up at 25-30 at the time of the trade. We would still have one of the easier remaining schedules meaning we probably had gone through one of the more difficult schedules up to that point. I have us still finishing out of the play-in with just under 40 wins and the 11/12th seed. _________________ Luxury Tax/FA Spreadsheet (Save to your Google Drive to edit) |

Pelicans would have been in the lottery.
We'd be out of the running without a lotto pick. |

Doubt Bron and AD would even be healthy right now because they would have had to carry the team even more in last 23 games. We missed Bron for 6 weeks and still ended up with 43 wins. That's how crucial Westbrick for DLo, Vando, Malk trade was. _________________ Showtime 2.0 |

We'd be sitting in a boat with no fish anywhere in sight because Westbrook slapped the water so hard with a badly weighted line that he scared all the fish away. |

Considering that Beas was mostly (bleep) on by our fanbase when he couldn’t hit an open shot…Mo barely got any run…DLo had availability issues…Rui had a consistent inconsistency to his PT…Reed who?…and Bron was still getting back from his injury.
I’m thinking we would most likely just miss what a real wing looked like in Vando along with just missing the play-in and as a result, we’d (bleep) on AD for it, when in reality, we had our remaining (post trade deadline) schedule become mostly favorable and had AD ramp up his production as a result in keeping us afloat and eventually to the shores of the postseason, instead of the ones that belonged to Cancun. _________________ Not familiar with the salary cap/CBA rules & how it impacts our Lakers?

Yeah I was expecting the Lakers to make the playoffs long before they made the trade. They turned the season around a long time ago. |

They were 6 games under .500 on deadline day (currently 12th place Utah is 6 under) and had lost 6 of their last 9. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

We'd be watching exit interviews today while knowing we're giving up a top 10 pick to NO. |

I can still see us making the play-ins with that lineup, since you only need to be better than the 38 win Mavericks to make the playings in the West. But to me that isn't the relevant point. This season will be judged by how far the team progresses into the playoffs, not by simply making the playoffs. If we get booted in the play-ins, or in the first round, nobody is going to be cheering in the streets about how successful the Lakers season was after all. |

With the way team chemistry was falling apart when TrashBrick was dealt, easily lottery. We needed to get rid of the Vampire and Pat Bev. |

Give the Mavs another win because no way in hell do we make that comeback without Vanderbilt. There is no universe Trashbrick would have replaced what Vando gave us that night. |

Yeah but they were only 2 games back or something like that. This was a really easy year to get in. |

Tell that to Dallas.
Reports were things around the time of the deadline had gotten so bad with Westbrook we were contemplating sending him home if a deal didn’t materialize. Considering we were losing games left and right at the time and sitting in 13th place, I wouldn’t think a push was coming with the roster as it was. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |
