After trade predictions for Utah, Lakers and Minnesota for the rest of the year?

The trade happened. Predictions for the rest of this year?

Jazz- They traded 2-3 starters....they are 3 games out of getting the 6th pick. I predict Jazz will pick 6th.

Lakers- They will improve a lot with additional depth.....they will be the 16th pick ranked 5th in the West for the playoofs.

Minnesota- they lose a lot of scoring, but with Conley they will do ok.......they will be the 18th pick.

Since Utah gets Minnesota's pick this year, i hope they lose a lot......Minnesota has played 6 more home games than away games....so they will lose more games because of that.

I do not think changing from Russel to Conley will make them win more.....I expect it is a nuetral thing.
