PAC MAN Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 That was a big time jolt by the LA teams this off-season. Would have been better if the Knicks knew how to sign big name free agents. Got quite some basketball to look forward to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 We got AD but the rest of it was a cluster. I guess we could be the Knicks or the Suns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaG Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Now that all of the major free agents are signed, here is my instant Top 8 in the West. 1) LA Clippers 2) Lakers 3) Nuggets 4) Blazers 5) Jazz 6) Rockets 7) Spurs 8- Warriors Kings/Mavs/Thunder all contenders for the playoffs. 3-8 are all basically interchangeable for me, though, and the Warriors are at risk of missing the playoffs depending on how Klay returns from his injury. Curry is going to be defended as he's never been before without Klay or Durant to take a large part of the offensive load. I don't care about the east, but one of Boston/Bucks/76ers seem clear favorites to make the Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nets are way too high considering Durant won't play. Jazz at 20-1 is too high no idea why. Spurs at 100-1 is a joke considering they get Dejounte Murray back a full year after ACL rehab. Blazers at 40-1 seems like a decent bet and how in the hell are the Pacers 35-1? There is zero chance they could beat the West Champion in a 7-game series. The Bucks are the only team with a realistic shot at it and they lost Brogdon and added nobody of significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their main competition in the west both have injury prone stars. PG3 has about 3 different surgeries this offseason while AD and LeBron are in a similar boat health wise. The warriors also have championship DNA, these other teams do not and will have to figure out how to play with each other. I think it’s great value. I would bet you a lot of money they finish higher than 8th in the west. Now that is a foolish prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Klay should be back before the playoffs, no? Warriors could be one of the best 5 seeds of all time if they just survive the regular season w/o him and he's good to go by April. I think the Clips are way ahead of the Lakers and are easily the top team in the West. What they did Friday was... masterful. Lakers will be good, obviously, but I think the trio of Northwest teams -- Denver, Utah, Portland -- are all probably better than the Lakers right now, though LA still isn't done. The West is going to be so fun. I'll bite on the Pacers at 35-1. They're a solid/talented team in a conference that just saw a bunch of upheaval, I think they'll fly under the radar while everyone's focused on Philly and Boston and Milwaukee and wind up top 3 in the East. Brogdon and Oladipo in the backcourt, Sabas and Turner down low. They love Aaron Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's not really an even deal and I expect OKC to deal Paul because they want to invest in that guy from the Clips. They want to rebuild and start getting better lottery odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Didn't see that part about Paul getting dealt. The Thunder need to rebuild as quickly as possible since you have two Big 12 schools (certainly one of the best basketball conferences out there) nearby that would pounce at every opportunity to draw fans to their basketball games.
