The Hawks have a couple good players at best so they won't win more than 30 games.

Wow I really hope you're joking. Schroder-Korver-Bazemore-Millsap-Howard starting lineup with Bud coaching and the Hawks are no where close to the worst team in the NBA. Hawks win 45+ barring injuries.


Of course you'll disagree with me, Your a hawks fan, Your a homer and supposed to think the world of your team. Schroder sucks and I think Horford is better than Dwight.

Ha I guess we'll see. Schroder 19.5ppg/8apg/4.5rpg per 36 last year. Hawks have made the playoffs 9 straight years and every year multiple people think they fall out of the playoffs and it never happens. Hawks will finish with more wins than the Knicks.

Bottom five:

1. Brooklyn. Add: If they win more than 19 games, seriously, it will be a miracle. This roster is pathetic.
2. New Orleans Add: Just got a bad feeling about them. Don't like the roster composition. Hield isn't an impact player.
3. Philadelphia Add: Talent improvement, but wins will still be hard to come by.
4. LA Lakers Add: They could legit be the worst team in the West again. Their young players aren't proven vis a vis winning.
5. Phoenix Add: A development year for the most part. Do have legit NBA talent though.
Honorable mention:
6. Sacramento Add: Just because, but their coach is good and has won on every level. If he makes them really competitive, it won't be a surprise.
7. Orlando Add: I love Fournier, but can he REALLY be the leading scorer of a good NBA team? I just have to see it to believe it.

Yeah, I just disagree. Orlando might be second to the Nets in most games scoring under 90 points next year. Where are the points going to come from?

Anyone who has the Hawks as one of the worst teams in the league should have their head examined. Atlanta still has their best player: Milsap and the drop off between Horford/Howard and Teague/Schroder is not significant enough to make them one of the worst teams. They have a good enough coach and system in place to win 45 or so games, not to mention they have two solid rookies who will contribute.

Probably but ignore these dudes, the Hawks are gonna be good. It's ignored that just a season before this the Rockets went to the WCF. Howard is a good player, people just wanna hate. Is he the guy from Orlando, no. Does he suck? Well last year he sucked posting a double double on 60% with 8.3 attempts. Apparently he's the problem.......on 8.3 attempts.

I think being on the Hawks will help him. They move the ball between EVERYBODY, not one player and he's home. Again, don't expect Orlando numbers but he's a good player.

I just hope the Knicks can have some success as well

Dude, it's not like he claimed the Hawks are gonna win a championship. The worst team in the NBA won 10 games this season, you really think the Hawks will win ~10-20 games? That's silly.

While I'll agree that Ainge was beyond stupid for passing up Dunn and wasting that #3 pick, that doesn't change the fact that the Nets made the boneheaded trade of the century. Everybody who signed off on that deal should never have a job in the NBA again.

On paper Nets have by far the least amount of talent in the entire league but I have a feeling they will do better than expected due to chemistry and young hungry players playing with chip on shoulders.

I think it will be sixers again.

I think it's Brooklyn, and the fact that Boston owns another 2 of their first rounders is absolutely hilarious/mind-boggling/sad all at the same time.

Nets, sadly, probably still have more proven NBA players at this point. Compare projected depth charts:

Nets:
pg: Lin, Vasquez, Whitehead
sg: Bogdanovic, Foye, Killpatric
sf: Hollis-Jefferson, Lavert
pf: Booker, Scola, Bennett
cc: B.Lopez, Hamilton

Sixers:
pg: Bayless, Rodriguez, McConnell
sg: Henderson, H.Thompson, Stauskas
sf: Simmons, Covington, Luwawu?
pf: Saric? Grant, Landry, Holmes?
cc: Okafor, Noel, Embiid (note - not necessarily in that order for center - really up in the air)

A lot of talent, but even more questions, in the Sixers front court. Nets have more proven NBA level talent in Brook, Bogdanovic, Lin, even Booker & Scola (though neither are really starter quality - but unless Saric is - or you have Simmons defending 4's...)


They will still stink but I like this Nets roster better than last years team. Lin, Scola and Booker were nice signings.

There is no logic in your argument. You say the Lakers have little to no NBA talent yet you put a very talented Phoenix team lower.

If you think guys like DAR, Nance, Clarkson, Randle, Ingram, Zubac aren't talents(not a lot of experience here), but still in a couple of years this core has some potential to be very good. Might as well said the Lakers will have the worst record next season, but to say there is no talent is pure bullcake.
