If the Celtics beat the Lakers and Bynum's not healthy, that could end up being his ass. and it could start a chain reaction on the lakers as well.
Lakers would obviously be hit the least. Where I see the biggest change being made would be Orlando. I can see SVG being fired and Dwight might threaten to get some moves done. Perhaps demand that someone like Joe Johnson be brought it. The Cavs are basically stuck so I wouldn't even bother thinking about them. To them this off season is resign Lebron and bring in a new coach.
The Lakers already know their needs which are starting PG and the bench. The issue has been known since at least last season when the bench never returned to the status it used to be after the first finals run. Sasha lost his shot, Farmar was still the same Farmar we have today. The bench was pretty strong when Ariza and Lamar were coming off the bench. If any major moves are made the only one I see being made is Bynum being traded because the FO gets tired of him not being able to make it through a full season. The longer the season drags on the less Bynum we see because of the injures. In no way do I see the Lakers blowing it up.
