We all know the best teams will probably be the Warriors, Spurs, Cavs, Celtics, Rockets, with the others battling for the next spot.


But this is my prediction for the worst teams next year.


Atlanta Hawks- gutted the roster and Dennis Schröder is the best player now.
Indiana Pacers- No Paul George and Teauge= loooong year ahead
Chicago Bulls- No Butler and Rondo = Lottery
Orlando Magic- Its Orlando, they will find ways to lose
Brooklyn Nets/New York Knicks- Knicks assuming Carmel leaves and Brooklyn will be no better than last year.

Sadly the Knicks and Nets will probably be the worst of the worst. Bad basketball in New York City? It's like having bad country music in Nashville.

I'll agree with Orlando and Chicago but think Indiana will be pretty decent.

I'll add the 76ers, I think there's a false confidence going on there and they are still too young.

Out West I think the Suns and Lakers again will struggle for wins even if they are improved.

I forgot all about the Kings, yep, they will battle for the bottom too. Either the hawks will be dead last or a suprise 8th seed since they are in the east, nothing in between.

Ummm, did you not hear Lavar Ball, the Lakers will make the playoffs this year because of his son

Ha yeah and now he's stinking up the summer league (not that that means much). After some focus next year, I think the following year could put the Lakers back on track and they will add at least one free agent star. But next year looks like 25 wins to me.

I'll agree with rigas that Dallas and Sacramento will miss the playoffs but they probably won't be among the worst.

I also think New Orleans, Portland, and Utah could miss the playoffs.

^^This is my view of things as well. I don't see any of those teams having >30 wins.

MAYBE the 76ers but doubtful.

Ball had 36 pts on 22 shots, 5 steals and lots of rebs and assts last night, clearly the player of the game. So the young man is on his way... to be fair.

The Bulls are going to be awful. Hopefully they'll be bad enough to get the GMs fired. Team can't improve until Paxson and Forman are out. Completely incompetent
