Poll aboard.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

50%. I think that seems a reasonable figure.

You cant predict that before the Finals Start^^
Any Series Matchup is totally unique and so much can happen between now and the Finals.

The West is much deeper but at the top I think it's pretty even if the Cavs or Hawks come out, so I voted 50%. I would give Chicago or Washington less of a chance (definitely the Raptors) if they come out, but if they do it means they clicked at the right time, so who knows.

I think the Hawks/Cavs (especially when Lebron decides to play D), have as good a chance as any Western team if they meet in the finals. A lot of times, the series just comes down to who wants it more/who shoots better

Cavs only team I think could win it from the east. They have the star power. Hard to see anybody else winning from the east if I'm honest.

Between 40% and 50% since the West will likely get home court advantage
