I don't think a heat fan should be talking about having a disastrous summer right now...
Curious as to how this is a disastrous summer for us.

Right.
I was agreeing with you and countering @Shaqdaddy11 who said they would be projected to be the 6-8 seed without adding anybody.
They could make the playoffs in that case, but no way in hell they wouldn't be projected there. Probably projected 10 or 11.
Lost in all of this Max FA stuff has been Randle. Folks forget that his signing is not pressing per se. The reason? He is a restricted FA and so the Lakers can match or exceed any offer he gets. He is not an unrestricted FA and so he is not being deliberately abandoned by the Lakers and he is not walking with the drop of the first offer either. On the contrary. The Lakers will probably sign him to an extension if all the max guys stay put with their present teams.
Would be.
Damn autocorrect on my phone is so effing stupid.

"Could be"
Nobody knows what WILL happen
which is why i'm not really debating this all that much...
a few more days, THEN the debate can begin...
Nah, not to certain people.
According to some the Lakers have already failed and will be a lottery team again
And i'm curious to see how the Lakers could in any way have a disastrous summer too
Yeah, young teams never improve right? Especially when their core missed a combined 80+ games due to injury.

The Lakers free agency has the potential for disaster because this is what Magic and Pelinka were gearing up for.
Still not a disaster.
There is only one way that this summer can be a disaster for the Lakers.
If they strike out on landing any max guys, Magic goes against what he said about spending money just to spend money and they overpay 2nd and 3rd tier guys instead of preserving their cap space. That would be a disaster.

Agreed.
You said they would be projected to finish 6-8 without adding anybody. That is false.
Now stop with the nobody knows what will happen BS. I said that too. I do know for a fact that they won't be projected ahead of 2 of those teams I listed unless they land a big FA. They might finish ahead of a couple, but they won't be projected there.
You said that they would PROBABLY be a 6-8 seed as is. That is an unsupportable statement.
Of course they CAN develop and improve and become a playoff team. But barring some major additions that is not likely to happen.
Why not?
It's a disaster in terms of the hype leading into free agency and the positions that you were in with respective players like George and Lebron.
I too don't think Magic will sign guys to long-term deals like Deng and Mozgov were.
But at some point, the "next offseason" talk starts to get old really fast, particularly for a franchise like the Lakers.
