The Lakers upcoming trip includes visits to New Orleans, Memphis, Boston, New York, Orlando, Charlotte and Cleveland. For it to be a good trip in my view, they have to grab at least 4 or 5 wins.

New Orleans is a strong defensive team but the Lakers have already scored 100+ on them in their two meetings.

Memphis will be TOUGH.They have a solid frontline to match Pau and Bynum and have already beaten the Lakers twice.

Boston is the best team in the East and as of tonight have gotten back Perkins. They seem to be efficient as ever leading the NBA in FG%.

New York is scary good offensively and they run the pick and roll to perfection. They will catch the Lakers on a second night of a back to back.

Orlando is very deep and seem to have turned up their offensive attack since the trade.

Charlotte always gives the Lakers trouble. They are pushing the tempo more.

Cleveland is not a good team and this should be an easy win. What do you guys think?
