"Behind the Warriors, Celtics, and Rockets, the Lakers are projected to be the fourth most successful team between now and 2021.
This is quite the improvement as Los Angeles was ranked 11th in the previous installment released in March, toward the end of the regular season."
Well, we can only hope this is how potent the mix of young and veteran will be! No real reason not to expect this team, while healthy, to find success similar to all of LeBron's previous Finals-caliber teams. At worst, we're a 5th seed in the West, right? And at our collective potential best we can be better than the Celtics or Rockets, right? No reason not to dream big!

I would put the Jazz ahead of the Lakers right now and I would out the Celtics ahead of the Rockets. I think the Rockets went as far as they could go last season. CP3 is a year older, Ariza is gone and while Morey made a few savvy moves, I don't think they will be as good next season.
