Forget The Experts, Lakers Will Exceed Expectations

The experts at ESPN have done it again. Earlier this summer they projected that the Lakers would finish last in the Western Conference next season. Now they’ve gone further by predicting the Lakers will finish dead last in the entire NBA with the fewest wins. This offseason they’ve also pronounced that Brandon Ingram will finish only third in the Rookie of the Year voting, Timofey Mozgov was the worst free agent signing of the offseason, Julius Randle is overrated, and D’Angelo Russell is a bust or close to it.

Let’s not forget the frequent pronouncements that Mitch Kupchak is a dinosaur and Jim Buss knows nothing about basketball.
