I doubt it.
Locks- Spurs, Mavs, Rockets
Jazz, Nuggets, Suns
That leaves 2 spots for Wolves, Blazers, Sonics, Hornets, Kings, Clippers, Warriors, and Lakers. I think Kobe may have something (else) to cry about, another post-season on the couch.

They should make the playoffs if Kobe stays around and they trade for Jermaine O'neal and spend some money this offseason. They should be fine at the point with Critterton and they just need another star and get a little bit deeper up front. They should trade for O'neal and if they can keep Odom. They would be much better if they kept him with O'Neal and Kobe along with him this team could be a contender.

I think that depends if the bottom 3 teams and Portland step up. I honestly think that if Clippers get healthy, I think Elton brand can carry the team
Also, besides just the clippers, i believe the Hornets are defintley gonna step up. I mean, last year was horrible for them with all the injuries. Chris Paul was hurt, Peja was hurt, and i remmeber thehre was more. They're bench really stepped up, so i think Lakers could be knocked out this year.

I think so. They were 14 games about 50% last year, until 4 guys got injured. Let's see how they do. I'm sure Kobe will always be ready to snap a losing streak. I think they will make it into the 2nd round, then get eliminated

Lakers will never miss the playoffs, now can they win it all is what I'm more concerned about.

Yes I think they will do surprisingly well next season. Go Lakers!

Not with the squad they have now. They have done absolutly nothing this off-season to improve themselves. Now that Kobe's heart won't be in it this year, I can't see them over .500.
