Early west playoff seeding

Clips
Denver
Portland
Jazz
Lakers
Rockets
Sacramento
Warriors.

Kawhi gets to beat the warriors in the playoffs again.

 

Spurs will make playoffs over Kangz

 

This is great for Portland.
Lakers dont get a super team. There are 7 teams in the west now who have a shot at a Title, and the Blazers are one of them.
Blazers have The best center tandem in the conference (Huge to have an advantage like that).

Literally means if Simons, Zach, heck even Little pop this year Blazers might be holding events in Pioneer square that arent just for winning the draft lottery.

Jokic / Murray
Dame / Nurk / CJ
AD / Lebron
PG13 / Kawhi
Curry / Green / Thomspson
Harden / CP3
Conley / Gobert / Mitchell

Just wow!

Then some up and comers with talent like Dallas and Sacramento just nuts. The NBA season and Playoffs should be more exciting then maybe ever. Im so pumped!

 

With the addition of Jimmy Butler, you’d have to imagine the Heat are interested in getting a team around him.

I could see them trying to poach Lowry AND Gasol from the Raptors. Something like Dragic, Waiters, Winslow, Anderson, Okpala, and a future pick for them.

 

I am in love with the Kings. Like I love how every player on that team sans swanigan fits, they’re gonna frustrate teams with just speed, running, and scoring. I think they’re finally gonna be in the playoffs, Spurs, eh maybe they got Pops.

 

And the West got better/tougher.....AGAIN.

 

Seriously though, can we get some more stars out east? OKC should send Westbrook east when he demands his trade, same for Booker on the Suns... if I’m him I refuse to play with that fuckhole organization.

 

LOL

 

Nah, they fucked their team up overpaying guys in free agency. They're not any better than last year in my opinion.

 

Paying $23M to KCP and Danny Green? Okay....

 

JR SMITH WILL BE A LAKER LMAO

 

Jerry West literally took a shit on the Lakers lol good for him.

 

Fox is going to end up being really freaking good. Hield has started to figure things out. You can crap on Barnes contract but he’s good in transition and hit 3’s at over 40% clip last year.
Bogdanavich is a very good back up 2. Bagley I still think has untapped potential too, but basically that whole team wants to run. Luke Walton I think will do good with a young team that wants coached instead of a Lebron who doesnt too.

 

I believe the Kings have potential and I consider them as a Dark Horse team. They can be dangerous if they buy into Walton's team concepts early on.

 

that's a lot of money for role players. They have 9M more to spend, but so far it looks like they paid 23M for what they should got for 15M

personally, I think people may be counting the Lakers out a little too quickly. I know they are on thin ice with the health of Lebron and AD. But if those two stay healthy, that's a great pair of players and match-up nightmares.

so far, they have Kuzma, Dudley, Green, and KCP, so yeah, they have a lot of work to do with 8-9M in space, the room-MLE and minimum contracts

what's funny is that right now. both the Lakers and Clippers are both speed-dialing every remaining free agent

 

I realize Im probably crazy when it comes to the kings but I think theyve done really smart things.

I see them kind of like the Ducks with Chip Kelly, never got the best recruits, never won a championship either, but they had some success by just saying we arent going to be able
to out talent everyone, we cant get guys to come here were just gonna have to pick what we want to be and go with that and focus on getting guys who fit what we want.

They arent championship material, but I think they’ll surprise people in the regular season, heck maybe Im dead wrong, but I really like them.

 

Thanks goodness for the Suns because outside of them, there are going to be very few 'gimme' games in the West.

Time to "Feast on the East" again.

 

If it wasn't for Phoenix, Charlotte, NY, and what happened tonight I might say that Sacramento had the worst off season in the NBA. I absolutely hate what they did with all that cap space.

 

I like them as well. I like seeing a team rise up from the ashes as the underdog and make some waves. It'll be interesting seeing how Walton develops plays centered about his young core in Hield, Bagley, and Fox.

 

Sacramento gets about the same pick of the crop as portland does, I mean we can agree to disagree but I liked there moves for the most part.
