lakers
clippers
denver
utah
portland
houston

next 2 are golden state and san antonio. can the kings knock one of them out ? i don't think so. they might need 1 more year. with a healthy zion, new orleans might be better. 1 month without him though might be too long for them to recover. the west is that tough.

Don’t know if Portland is a guarantee. Lost Aminu/Harkless/Nurk/Curry. I think they’re a bubble team.

Hotter take, Kings make the playoffs and Lakers miss the playoffs.

Lmao, no way bruh. Bron AND AD??

Life is short man, might as well tell the world how you feel, especially behind a computer screen :lol:

This Lakers team reminds me of the Melo/Amar'e/Tyson Knicks and the Kobe/Pau/Dwight Lakers. An unbalanced roster that lacks speed and guard play. Not to mention the fact that injuries might play a factor. I believe the whole world will see that AD's not a franchise player, although Vogel will shoulder most of the blame if they struggle. Not sure Vogel's leadership style will match LeBron's energy either.

Almost 30m per year for Brown. Seems a bit excessive.

Woah. That’s a lot of money for Jaylen Brown. He better be a all-star superstar this year.

Post #989 » by **Deeeez Knicks** » Mon Oct 21, 2019 8:01 pm

Wow, thats a lot. Was lowkey worried the Knicks might throw the max bag at him in 2020 so glad he's off the table.

Jaylen and Tatum are both overrated because they have pretty privilege. Good looking (pause) players, but neither are franchise cornerstones.

I like this take a lot. Our onetime Latvian savior falls into that category a bit, too, IMO.

Agree completely. Injuries will definitely play a factor. Rondo has been injury prone for years as has AD. I expect Bron to start missing a lot more games in year 17. A lot of their other guys are unproven. KCP is garbage. I need to see more.

Ainge out here paying Jaylen Brown 115 million when 2 better players in Hield and Sabonis are making 94 mill and 75 mill respectively LOL.

I don’t think KP is a good looking dude pause, but definitely overrated because he got dubbed With the unicorn label in NY by KD.

I’m a Jaylen fan but that number seems excessive

Boston players usually seem to get overrated too. The Bill Simmons effect.

Post #999 » by **dakomish23** » Mon Oct 21, 2019 8:35 pm

Simmons Jaylen Heild Sabonis Siakam all got paid

Are they also the best 5 from the 2016 draft?

Would make an interesting starting 5

Where or when did I ever say that we should have made the Nets trade him here?

Calm down You guys are so on the edge about anything negative towards the Knicks that you're taking stuff unrelated to the Knicks as some attack.

This is the around the NBA thread. Expect me to flood this with topics / highlights from AROUND THE NBA

YOU ARE SUSPECT

Well, I started drinking early today. Probably not.
