#T-4 Los Angeles Clippers: 1986-87 (12-70)
The Los Angeles Clippers were coming off a 32-50 record season and were looking to make it to the postseason after missing the playoffs for ten straight seasons. In the 1986 NBA Draft, they selected forward Steffond Johnson of San Diego State and forward Tim Kempton of Notre Dame.
However, the rookies failed to make an impact and the team ended up with the worst win-loss record ever in the franchise history with 10-72. Johnson's short NBA career ended after this season as he would go on to play overseas.

#T-4 New Jersey Nets: 2009-10 (10-72)
The New Jersey Nets traded Vince Carter, who spent five seasons with the franchise, in the offseason and entered the season with very low expectations. They created some infamous records this season which include the worst winless start to the season (0-18) in the NBA history and the worst 30-game start to the season (2-28)
After losing their 16th straight game, they fired head Lawrence Frank and hired Kiki VanDeWeghe but even he could not get any productivity out of a team that genuinely lacked experience. The team went on a 5-4 run towards the end of the season to finish the season with a 10-72 record.
Brook Lopez was the only player who showed up consistently throughout the season as he ended up leading the team in points (18.8) and rebounds (8.6) per game.
