For this year they are.
I doubt very much they change how they do things from a money perspective. The brand brings in tons of money, the Time Warner deal brings in tons of money.
The CBA has hurt them, but I'll wait to rush to judgement about how it will or won't hamper them until I see how things go next summer.
In the end, the Lakers invested a broken Andrew Bynum, Josh McRoberts and a lottery protected 1 for Howard. It didn't work out but the damage isn't catastrophic.
