    I'm saying 52-54 wins (yes, I know the option was 50-54).

    I'm also sticking with that option, and I think we're going to battle some injuries. If we're healthy, I'm going 59 victories.

    A home team and an away team will play each other until there is a victor.

    This will happen 82 times per team

    Way too early to start talking about win projects. It's not just about what OUR team is going to look like, but also what other teams are going to look like. Impossible to make a prediction.

    Other teams will look like a bunch of young, very tall guys. That's my prediction, hope it helps.

    That might not seem young to a whippersnapper like you, my friend, but that makes them almost 100 years younger than MarAzul.

    It's way too early to answer this question IMO. Let's revisit this when the roster is set.

    I would love to see the Blazers bolster the starters, but knowing how often that happens with a small market team like the Blazers I kind of had to stick to the bench. Sucks.

    assuming a full season from a healthy Nurk and us not letting Meyley anywhere near the court, id think early 50's - around a 30% swing up. but if that .700 win rate was anything to go by, maybe higher is achievable.

    I'll be fine with 45-49 but think 50+ is a possibility. Western Conference is getting better but we will also have more teams we should comfortably beat from the East - Hawks, Pacers and Bulls should be brutal next season. Kings will be worse than last season when we had to face them with Cousins twice, although long term that team will get much better and more balanced. Lakers will probably be worse than last season too as rookie Ball is not better than second season Russell. Timberwolves will be much better, so should be Pelicans.

    I'd say 52. If, somehow, we are able to trade 2-3 mediocre bench players for one seasoned and better wing player we can be in the range of 56-60.

    I'm in on the 54 wins.

    I think one of our 2 new guys is going to steal the starting spot before opening night from Vonleh. It's really a question of who projects to play better next to Nurkic, which is pretty hard to predict. Collins gives you much better defense, but Swanigan is going to be a beast on the boards and is probably going to be a lot more aggressive in shooting perimeter shots to space the floor.

    If I had to bet, I'd go with Swanigan. He's a little more used to being on a big stage. But I'm definitely excited about Summer League to see how this goes.
