*** We do this almost every year for new comers, please b4 posting share your thoughts first on your WEST predictions thread, It's still early b4 the season starts, but think most west teams are set don't think too much will change - could be wrong.
"We do not talk about the East In This Dojo"
This Is West predictions only
Highlighted Lakers Good Luck and peace out!.
1) OKC - Caruso trade helps them and another year together
2) Dallas - Luka, Kyrie, Klay
3) Wolves - Antman, Kat, Gobert
4) Denver - Jokic, Murray, MPJ - Is this enough ??
5) Kings - Sabonis, Fox, Keegan - DEMAR
DEMAR just traded to kings. A day after posting.
6) Pelicans - Will be the suprise team this year In west and they move up
7) Lakers -AD, Bron, Reaves + break out player OR FA/trade
*I have faith In the Lakers*
8) Memphis - This will be all on JA Morant, If he can stay healthy and play most of season I see Memphis creeping up - If not I see them near bottom, If not just move them down and everyone up a spot
9) Suns - KD, Beal, Booker
10) Utah - Lauri, Collins, Sexton
11) Clippers - Losing PG hurts them so much and as of now no new players/trades - that come close to replacing PG for now they've dropped a lot.
12) GSW - Curry. They have no defense out side of Green? Some say they've Improved but doubt It, the West Is tough - Utah, Clips, GSW are tough to choose
13) Rockets - 41 win team last year, Vanfleet, Green?
14) Spurs - Wemby - unless they make a trade/fa etc I don't see them geting 40 wins they only had 22 ish last year, would love to see a Wemby/Young pairing
15) Blazers - J.Grant. Sharpe??
Edit this Is just standings, this Is not championship talk, just because OKC Is #1 doesn't mean I'm saying they gonna win the chip.
