41 wins. 9th

I'll say it 50 wins, agree with OG 6th seed.

44 wins, 8th in West.

Yeah, I am struggling to make my prediction. I just don't get where some of the teams are at yet.

The last two years you needed 47 and 48 wins to get in but only a couple of games between 5th and 8th.

With Hield signed, 48 wins, without him 42. 48 wins will get 6th place, 42 maybe 9th.

I love the optimism here. Just going to be a tough tough, conference. Even teams like the Timberwolves will be tough as Covington comes back. Suns improved. Grizzlies are really the only team as I don’t see as competitive. If we can have Fox/Bagley looking good and reach 41 wins it will be a good season, anything more will be gravy

Looking forward to seeing yhall at the first playoff game this year.

44 wins, 8th seed

43 wins, 9 seed.

41 wins, 9th seed.

Because of Bagley injury moreso?

Or....

The utter team trash performance vs the Suns?

I've voiced this concern before but I'm going to repeat myself again: I believe the Kings caught a lot of teams off guard with their pace and the improvement of Fox and co elevated the team for most of the previous season. The second half the season was likely the more truer indication of where the team really was and still is: Not a playoff team.

I could really see this team fail to reach 40 wins this year but I'm being an optimist and chalk the first game of the season as an anomaly. I was going back and forth with my prediction (I was thinking to lower my prediction of 41 wins down to anywhere from 35 to 38 wins) but I'm still sticking with 41 wins with a near miss at the playoffs -- given the state of the Western Conference.
