The summer of 2013 for the Lakers will always be defined by what they lost, not what they gained. Despite making a couple of nice, affordable signings, the loss of All-Star Dwight Howard should and will be the storyline of the off-season.

With the off-season virtually over and the Lakers having just one roster spot open, we here at Lake Show Life decided to take a look at the off-season as a whole for the Lakers, breaking down our grades for them, their best and worse moves, and any other possible moves in the little time remaining.
