What does the Lakers future look like from here?

The Lakers are in one of the most interesting situations in the NBA right now.

I do not think they are a serious contender this season. They struggle against bad teams. I do not think they have much of an identity between the roster fluctuating and JJ being a first-year HC.

Maybe they can make a couple of moves this season to fill out the gaps in their roster, but I just do not think they stack up well versus the elite teams out West.

There is no telling how much longer LeBron will play, but my guess is two more seasons at the most. What do the Lakers do when the LeBron era is over? What does that mean for AD?

When I look at their roster, I do not see a future at all. Things will look a LOT different in LA once LeBron goes.
