Portland will be in. OKC will be out. Pels will be higher than Lakers. Pelicans have potential to be better as their players develope. Lakers are 1 injury away from the Mavs taking their playoff spot.

Ti can't stand the "if they stay healthy" No shite!!! The thing is almost every team is one injury away from sucking. If Harden gets hurt Houston will not be good same with Curry or Kawhi.

Harden don’t get hurt. you don’t have to worry about that with him. His durability is what separates him from other elite players who can’t stay on the court as much.

I.e. Lebron, AD, Butler, Embiid, Kyrie, Steph, KD

Yes but the thing is that Lebron is old now so it is more likely for an injury. And AD leaves every other game. THAT IS THEIR WHOLE TEAM. Other teams get in trouble if a player goes down. The lakers are fricked big time IF it happens and that is a very very possible IF.

Who do I contact to put money down that the Knicks/Hornets/Cavs will not reach 30/28/25 wins respectively this upcoming season? I want some free money next summer. Hell I’ll have that cash by Easter.

Not this year. Young team. In a season or two Pels will be a contender though.

I think Pels have a little bit of Denver potential in that they might out depth teams in the regular season grind. That’s the only way I see them getting to that win total.

Pels depth will help but I think it will take a month or two for the team to gel. Zion is very good but going to be an adjustment for him as well

I think the Pels have a great future. Just need to be patient

Except you were milking a wrist injury like the last three months of the season when he wouldn't play well

I think zion is gonna be a monster, but he's absolutely going to need a year or 3 of development to be the perennial all star lock we all expect him to be.

Luckily it appears he has all of the things you can't teach already figured out.

Exactly, he had “it” and very few players have that. He will develop over the next few year and going to be a monster in 3 years.

I just hope people give him that chance to grow and don’t panic if he/Pels struggle out of the gate. They remind me a lot of Golden State right before they went on their run

West is tough, expect the Pels to take some lumps along the way

Nothing would be better than the Lakers missing the playoffs LeBron retiring and AD walking across the hall to sign with the Clippers

Woj

ESPN Sources: Russell Westbrook and his agent Thad Foucher are engaged with OKC GM Sam Presti on next steps for the All-Star guard, including the possibility of trade this summer.

Tbh I think it's weird af that his entire online persona is "I'm friends with LeBron"

Like I'd probably flex too if I was friends with someone like that, but bad look to make your banner and profile pics be LeBron pics and make your username a reference to LeBron.
