The lakers will be perfectly fine next year, the will win it again and every thing will be fine in la la land. Here is why they will win.........Kobe:he is going to come back next year even better and stronger than last year, he started working out Monday and he is going to be in great condition and break even more records, anything wrong with his game now will be perfected over the off season, so next year expect to see as close as a perfect season as possible from kobe, and he will be the main option next year, win mvp(season, and playoff), and lead them back to the championship, because he said he hated the feeling of losing and didnt like it, so unless they all get injured again they will never lose again as long as kobe is there and the team is healthy. Plus Kobe will be injury free from his knee problems and his hurt shoulder...Shaq:Kobe will get him to get off his butt and get in shape this off season, he will also get plenty of rest, lose some weight, heal from injuries, be ready to dominate more next season, and ready to get them back where they belong...Fisher:will most likely coming off the bench, will be better than this year, more energy sincer he wont be starting...Phil:simply because he wants 10 rings and wants to shutup Red...Devean:he will be more confident and used to starting since Fox wont be playing and will probably bulk up a little more to, he will get better as the season progresses......FREE AGENTS-they will want to come because they know the Lakers are the best team and their best shot at a ring, players that have played awhile dont need the money and dont want money as bad as they want a ring. (ex. Karl Malone, Gary Payton players like that) Nearly everyone wants to go LA so I dont think it will be a problem them finding free agents who want to come and play in LA (ex. Howard, Terry, ZO, Arenas, Malone, Payton, Pippen, Clark, Brown, etc).. Not too many player wouldnt mind player with Kobe and Shaq and under Phil maybe one of the best coaches to ever coach the game.......DRAFT: the lakers will get a decent draft pick who could help them even if they dont trade, it has been known to happen. They also very well could offer a package of a couple players(Walker, Murray, Rush, Madsen, and their draft pick) for a better pick or two it can happen.. So the LA lakers will do just fine next year. They will get a rookie, free agents, and maybe a trade and will not lose next year
