After next season I think they will should blow the whole thing up and start over. Trade any and all assets to get some draft picks back, after they hire a new VP of operations and a new GM.  I know it's the Lakers but tough head coaching gig to take right now.  They should be hiring a coach that they can deal with post LeBron as well but they won't.  After next year, Westbrook comes off the books and if they trade AD they could still get a decent haul for him. If LeBron leaves he leaves.  It's going to get much worse for a few years but they will need to rebuild like most teams are forced too and I don't think there will be many short cuts. If you chase titles every year and fail eventually it catches up, understanding that it is the Lakers but they still have to follow the same cap that the other 29 teams do and Buss makes it clear that paying luxury tax for a team that doesn't even make the playoffs is an epic failure.  At least they have the bubble!  Jeannie isn't even one of the wealthier NBA owners.  She needs to start over and hire some fresh blood with a better understanding of team building.

LeBron has next year and the year after before somebody will draft his son to get him as well
