Any of them can finish in any order and I wouldn't be surprised. The Wolves and Kings have more talent than the Spurs but the history of both those teams doesn't inspire any confidence. And I know picking the Pelicans to be the worst of the bunch looks crazy but I think Zion is going to miss more time than they are letting on and it's gonna get BAD in the meantime.

Man it is so hard living in IL but being a Pacers fan...The Bulls team looks fun this year but my Pacers are going to struggle. Hopefully Carlisle can get something out of the twin tower combo.

Also, Zion to be re-evaluated in 2 weeks. Not happening Good amount of Players get trade kickers and everyone who has asked for a trade isn't always disgruntled. Majority of them are yes, but it wouldn't be fair to someone like Lillard are another player like him if they ask for a trade and get deducted for it Nothing new has to be done. If a player like Simmons is sitting at home you dock his pay. Simple as that

The pieces you have are sort of an awkward fit. Brodgon LeVert Warren Sabonis Turner Look fantastic on paper, but I'm pretty sure you would jump at the change trading 2 of the 5 for a top 10-15 player in the league. If you could turn any 2 of those in Beal, do it, and the team looks better and is more talented for sure.

Agreed on Beal...I would love that...I also think we could actually get some use out of Simmons and Turner...Sabonis is a passer so he wouldn't benefit as much but would still be serviceable. Either way we are screwed as Warren and LeVert are both injured as always and Brogdon is injured every other game. We have no bench now with either with Lamb slotting into the starting role...I love me some TJ McConnell but he's not winning us titles haha

You guys had him before, I think he's only like 31 or 32, so he's still very young. He would help your bench.

I just want to be in the lottery. But we're gonna fight our hardest to make the play-in tournament. And I hate life as a Pacers fan.

And rightfully so This is a players league for better or worse. Enforce your rules and you will be fine. Kyrie can't play until he is vaccinated and both sides agree to that. Ben Simmons realized he was about to be assed out of $9Mill and potentially more

I think the only slam dunk type prediction this year is: Kings will miss the playoffs and yet not be putrid enough to get a good draft pick. They are stuck in low end mediocre hell. Too good to get #1 picks, to much of a dumpster fire to achieve anything else.
That said, Haliburton is a stud as long as they don't ruin him or trade him for a bag of peanuts.

Life鈥檚 easier when your team is absolute shit. Never any expectations. Never any heartbreak. Bring on the NBA season. Fxxx baseball.
