16.9% say the Lakers. 
That franchise is completely dysfunctional.

Re: Which team will win the Western Conference?
People who think the Lakers are winning the West don't watch basketball. Or at least they clearly haven't watched the Lakers play this year. That team is awful. They're playing LeBron at the 5 because their two centers are unplayable. How's that going to work when they need to get through three playoff series to come out of the West??? Oh, they're trading for Sabonis, right? 
Westbrook was a mistake and he's robbed them of their flexibility. THT is the new Kuzma, eternally linked as a trade chip but Laker fans are grossly overestimating what he brings to the table. They don't have the assets for a meaningful trade. They're far less attractive on the buyout market and buyout players really haven't made a big difference in awhile now.
*** Cough *** Drummond ***Cough***
Despite LeBron looking like he's ten years younger, this team is built on AD- a man made out of glass. "If AD was healthy..." is the sad excuse you continually hear about this franchise but let's face it-he's never truly healthy. Lakers got their chip with AD in the Bubble. That's as far as that train is going and when Bron is done, that franchise is in terrible shape. No youth, no draft picks and aging broken stars clinging to another year of suffering the indignity of a Play-In spot and almost a quarter of the people polled think they're coming out of the West. The word is delusional.
