I think Anthony Davis alone will be able to make them a contender within a few years, but I think they REALLY need to trade Tyreke and Gordon somehow. I think Jrue Holiday is almost an elite point guard when healthy and that's harder to come by than mediocre ball hogging guards like Tyreke and Gordon.

jrue has been hurt so its not fair yet to say how the team will be when healthy. but i think a major problem for them is that they have no veteran leadership. a young coach, no vets, i can just sense that nobody is keepin the young guys in check and showin them what it takes to succeed in the nba.
davis is a legit stud and maybe between him, holliday, and anderson they can be somethin. i actually like tyreke just as a bench guy but in the 2 recent games ive watched hes wildly went to the rim every time he got the ball and missed/got blocked/threw the ball away. i really dont think theres a spot in there for gordon once jrue is healthy and i dont even think theres a place in the league for rivers. rivers and evans cant shoot at all and they dont pass either lol.
somethin nobody seems to be talkin about.... do the lakers have their first rounder this yr?? if so, they are gonna get a really high pick in a loaded draft. paired with kobe and gasol could the lakers revive themself next yr??
