Paul, Redick and Griffin walk next summer in free agency. Doc stays the president of basketball ops.

KAT and/or Wiggins goes down or regresses.

I think we could cover most everything else.

Denver trades Nurkic & Beasley for any potential star who becomes injured followed by Gallinari & Chandler taking injuries. Meanwhile Nurkic becomes defensive player of the year & Beasley becomes the 6th man of the year and the Denver Nuggets win only 21 games.

make bottom 3, lose the 2017 pick anyway, then because we lose it, we also lose the 2019 pick, then the cap lowers and we don't have enough cap space and can't sign westbrook

that's pretty realistic :cry:

Danny Ainge trades Jaylen Brown and our Nets pick next year for Westbrook. Westbrook goes on to prove that he is just an iso ball hog. Jaylen Brown while playing for OKC shows that he really is a stud. And the Nets pick turns out to be number 1.

Lakers-
Ingram has a below expectations rookie season. D'angelo Russell lets his ego and immaturity get the best of him. Julius Randle shows 0 signs of improvement in passing, shooting, and defense. Lakers lose out on their top 3 protected pick which could immediately be used on a SG/SF.

Prolly the most realistic of all the scenarios here. I pity Celtics fans.
Reality has a Rockets bias.

Pistons- if we've already seen everything Andre can do.

Derrick Rose just threw out his knee, literally at this moment. Carmelo just got arrested for domestic violence against LaLa. Noah cut his hair. Courtney Lee got cold feet about taking a 10 million dollar pay-cut, and Phil Jackson and Jeanie Buss get married.

Warriors - win the Finals in 5 games instead of 4
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

As stated Victor Oladipo and Tobias Harris become huge season/playoff contributors for their teams.
Aaron Gordon lets Jeff Green out play him for minutes/shots.
We miss the playoffs.
Ibaka leaves and free agents don't consider us a 2017 free agent destination
GM gets fired.

Bulls lose first game of the season and Rondo immediately blasts Hoiberg to the media.

Wade's knee flares up, severely limiting his court time.

Butler, Rondo and Wade struggle to develop chemistry. Dysfunction, injury and poor play unravels yet another season.

Bulls barely miss the playoffs, giving us a crappy mid round pick.

Paxson, Forman and Hoiberg all get extensions anyways.
FIRE THE JOHN "THE SNAKE" PAXSON, FOR GARMAN, AND FRED HOIBERGER.

We trade Blake, CP3 and JJ are injured for the whole year, and DeAndre tries to lead the team. Doc trades the rest of our picks for the next 10 years and everyone leave.

Suppose injuries are always a concern but I'll say this.

No moves to find adequate NBA players to fill our bench.
Greg Monroe making it into the season.
Greg Monroe being showcased during the season.
Greg Monroe not being traded at the deadline.
The MCW point guard experience getting another year.
