LeBron James and the Lakers could post a record worse than last season's 35-47 effort.
CLOSE SportsPulse: Nets rising star D'Angelo Russell explains why the stability in Brooklyn has allowed him to thrive in a way the Lakers couldn't provide. USA TODAYHe was worth the Los Angeles Lakers forking out $153.3 million in salary over a four-year contract.
He’s worth a lot to his sponsors and business partners. He’s worth a lot to CBS, which has optioned his television show Million Dollar Mile. With nine games to go, it takes very little imagination to foresee a situation whereby the 32-41 Lakers finish with an equal or worse record than the miserable mark of 35-47 that they mustered last season.
That much was essentially guaranteed by the team sleepwalking out of the All-Star break and somehow getting even worse, and formalized by a Friday faux pas at home to the Brooklyn Nets, when defeat was iced by James slipping and spilling the ball out of bounds while driving late.

They all talk about injuries, and do so with more enthusiasm than many of them have shown on the court lately.
No one expected this to be a year of title contention, but the Lakers were supposed to be better than what we’ve seen. Or at least better than before, you could reasonably have demanded, given that they added one of the best players in the sport.
