I say they will get 50+ wins so i will take the over.3 point shot and defense improved and reggie will be much better.

Somewhere between 40-44 wins I guess.

I think we're right at 40 wins. Only way he hit 45+ is if Dre + Reggie both buy in defensively with Avery Bradley being a much better leader of this team than anyone we had last year. If AB's defense rubs off on everyone else and we get all of our rotation to buy in we could win 45-48 but that's not likely with guys like Dre and Reggie.

I'm picking over. Last season was a disaster, and they still won 37, and 44 the previous season. Some are agonizing over paying Langston Galloway, but I always liked his game. Versatile guard, defends hard, can shoot some. Just looking at the personnel, you expect them to have improved shooting and perimeter defense. Of course, to some degree this presupposes RJ returns to some level of effective health and doesn't become a team albatross.

Well, they have to trash someone and last season was a dumpster fire.

Hard to say...Bradley is an obvious upgrade. Kennard will help with the 3pt shooting, having SJ play his more natural position will help. Boban getting more minutes will also be a good thing. However, I have little faith in Reggie's Knees and even less faith in Drummond's ability to actually give a ****.

simply cutting Reggie (i know unrealistic) we'd be closer to 50 wins.

I have my severe doubts with RJ's selfish play and lack of defense getting us over that hurdle. But AB and Tobias being featured as the premier players here instead of our so called franchise players in Dre & RJ may benefit us.
So I'll say 38 for now. By default with the East being so bad, that should be our floor unless we implode even harder.

If he goes back to his normal self Reggie will be easily moved with another asset for a better player. He just needs to show up and play hard and I think he'll definitely get traded for something really nice. Anything can happen.

Over. 40.5 is right about in the middle of our past two seasons, but I think we improved on our biggest issues (3pt shooting and defense) and the East got worse.

I'll take the over. SVG seems intent on riding the veterans to squeeze every last win out of this group. We won't be a good team, but there are enough bad teams in the East that we should be able to post a .500 record with that strategy.

Under. Lost Mook, KCP, and Baynes. Gained AB and Galloway. Not counting on the kids for much. We will miss Baynes more than we realize.

Not at all. Give me Boban over Baynes, he's a much bigger weapon

If everyone is healthy i'd take the over in a heart beat...East is going to be baaaaad and I have a feeling we bounce back this year in a big way.

Improved 3pt. shooting. Reggie should be healthy. Dre couldn't be any more dejected than he was last year, so it's only up from there, right? The young guys and last years acquisitions have had another year in the system. I'm expecting big things. I think we're winning 46.

No freaking idea. Stay away from this bet.
