The Lakers didn't really make any significant off-season acquisitions. The rest of the league is getting better, and the Lakers are staying the same. What Suckramento needs to be careful of is focusing all of their attention on beating the Lakers. They could still easily lose to the Spurs or the Mavericks.
I agree with you to an extent. I don't think the Spurs will be beating anybody this year. Everyone says that the Spurs will win their division, but I'm calling Dallas. The Mavericks have the offense, but what they need to do is start playing some defense (I think they were ranked last last year in the league for defense). If they can have defense as good as their offense is, I think that they can beat the Lakers then!
