re: Jrue Signs 5yr Deal to Stay in Nola

Ah, okay.

So it looks like we're a fringe playoff team, as of now? Obviously there are still moves to be made for teams in free agency.

Golden State
San Antonio
Houston
Oklahoma City

Playoff locks, IMO.

Utah is a lock, in my opinion, if Hayward re-signs. Don't think he will, though.

I think Minnesota is a playoff team. Not a "lock" though.

The Clippers will be worse, but I don't think they'll all of the sudden be terrible. Looks like New Orleans, Minnesota, LA Clippers, Utah, Memphis, Portland, and Denver will fight for the final 4 spots.

I think I like Minnesota, Denver, New Orleans, and Memphis for the final four spots. I think Portland takes a step back, you can't count on Blake Griffin to be your best player with his injury history if you're the Clippers, and I think Hayward and George Hill leave and Utah is on the outside looking in.
