The Lakers were the third oldest team in the league last season, according to Hoopism.
The average age of the Lakers' projected starting five for the coming season—Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard—is 32 years old. Last season's primary starting five for the Lakers had an average age of 31.

And to clarify, I'm not basing any of my numbers off of what each player may or may not do in his time away from the court.
