What is the realistic goal for the team to reach?

First round exit didn't improve the roster

Tough to say, but we will for certain be better. I'm going to say 53 wins, a 5 seed, and a 1st round series win, at least.

2nd Round should be the expectation.

there are at least 2 teams in the west with legitimate conf finals teams that won't make it out of the first round, not including the pels, suns, jazz. to me, if they entertain and comfortably make the playoffs I'll be fine

I love the NBA and I love going to the games
we have a generational superstar on the cusp
we should have a fun team that occasionally can run good teams off the court

good enough for me, for now

At least 50 wins, after that it's all up in the air. If we were in the East I'd say we should a series, but the Spurs didn't even do that last season. Anything over 50 wins and a couple playoff wins, and I'm satisfied.

8 board melts

The west is too stacked to give a meaningful seed or record number. Top 7 seed with a competitive 2nd round exit.

To get swept in the playoffs by my Warriors again would be ideal.

50 win season. Competitive first round and, hopefully, make the second round.

ETA: Honestly, nobody knows anything when it comes to next season. Too many variables.

I expect 50+wins baring some injury to AD that keeps him out for a billion games.

I think we'll be competitive in round 2, but ultimately lose in 6 or 7.

I don't think the team will be dramatically better than last season. I said then that they were about a .500 team and they won 45. I believe Vegas has them projected at 45.5 for next season. I'll be optimistic and go with the over. That would easily put them in as the 7th or 8th seed. The West is top heavy this season, but the bottom is pretty awful. So not making the playoffs would be a huge letdown. It will be hard for them to beat any of the top 6 in a 7 game series. It'll be all about match ups and health. So I'll go with 48 wins and a hard fought first round exit..

50+ wins and a competitive first round. the west is ridiculous any match up in the first is going to be tough. Getting to the 2nd round would be over achieving at this point I think.

Expectations? ....Absolutely a 6 or 7 seed, handle business in the 1'st round, and go from there.

Expect 48-50 wins, 7 seed and a first round exit.

Hope for a second round exit and a sit down with KD.

To be nitpicky, there are 2 different things.

I expect a 7th ish seed, getting into the playoffs a bit more comfortably this season, possibly leap frogging POR and DAL, but somewhere in that mix.

But a goal, sure we can set the goal at winning a playoff series, gotta dream big.

50-55 wins

6-7th seed

Competitive first round series, possibly pulling an upset.
