RPM projects Lakers to win fewest games in NBA next season

There have been two stories of the summer for the Los Angeles Lakers. On one hand, the team is certainly better than the group that left last year. A promising new coaching staff and plenty of talented additions in the draft and in free agency have left the Lakers in a much better position than the team that went 17-65 last season.

On the other hand, projections for this season still don’t have the Lakers looking very good. The Lakers have the most difficult schedule in the NBA, and ESPN projected that the team will be the Western Conference’s worst and third-worst in the NBA.
