The Lakers are Maybe a Play-In Team

The Los Angels Lakers made some major front office moves During the off-season. Some argue they helped the team, however some argue they hurt the team.
Losing Caruso and Kuzma may have been the point when we all realized that this Lakers team is probably going into full rebuild mode. It is clear and obvious that the Lakers are switching gears to build around Talen Horton-Tucker.
When you lose two all-star quality players and bring in a bunch of vets to mentor the young farm is CLEAR evidence that this team is full steam ahead in rebuild.
Take a moment to think...an aged Lebron, injured Davis, old Westbrook, old Carmelo, old Howard, old Rondo. Mixed with a young Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, and Malik Monk. The writing is in the rosters!
The Lakers will start the three young cats and allow them to grow into potential MVP candidates. So long to the Lakers Lebron era, they are giving Talen Horton-Tucker the keys to the city.
The Lakers are not making the Playoffs.
