      Also, a healthy Warriors team is still definitely in the conversation, somehow forgot about the 5 time reigning WC Champions.

        I mean there's not much left to choose from.


        Morris ain't that bad, he's the better of the two. Boogie is a defensive liability but they need bodies and he showed he can still score. He was never gonna be able to mesh with the Warriors in such a short time anyways. If he can be had for cheap, you gotta take the chance on him.



        Iggy would've been nice but reports said he's gonna get traded instead of bought out.

          Also, the East is WIDE open right now. Sixers, Bucks, Nets, Raptors if they find someone decent in FA or through trade, hell even teams like the Heat, Celtics, or Pacers have a legit shot at taking the East.

          West is Definitely stacked. Top 6 teams(no order) Clips, Lakers, Jazz, Denver, Hou, and Por have legit shot at Finals. But I don't think East is that deep. Where I think it is open, but I think there is a gap between top teams and rest. I think it is Bucks and Sixers then a drop. Celtics interior defense will be issue and relying on wings to step it up. Raps will be a playoff team but obviously not at same caliber as last year. Pacers would need VO to stay healthy but even then I think they lack the star power to compete with top teams in playoffs. Nets are a tricky team. Most don't have high expectations this year. But they are a team that I wouldn't be surprised if they are a top 4 team barring no injuries. If Lavert can stay healthy and can return to pre-injury, they can surprise some teams. I don't have high expectations at all for Heat. With current roster, I think at most 7th seed.

            Is it EA Sports that has the rights to NBA JAM? Cause now would be a great time to resurrect it.

              Holy crap, totally forgot about the Nuggets. Add another team that could easily win the West if they get the breaks.

              I think the Celtics will get their big man problem solved one way or another. Be it at the trade deadline or some pre-season trade, I think they get someone to fill that rather large void. I'm also a huge believer in the Pacers and what they've built. If/when VO comes back, that team should be right in the thick of things in the East.

              I'll admit I am pushing it with the Heat, but the gap from front of the east to about ten in the East is smaller than I have ever remembered it being. Hell, if things fall right, I could see an eight seed beating a one seed in the East this year, that's how open I see this being.

                    We’re chillin this year with KD out so the rest of the league gets a head start on us.

                    Next year though....***Birdmanrubshands.gif***

                    But this offseason is definitely the craziest one I’ve seen in forever.

                    The Little Brothers(Clippers, Nets)are finally getting some respect out here after being the butt of the league all these years. [emoji1490]

                      After everything, I'm saying WCF are LAC vs LAL and ECF are Bucks vs 76ers.

                          Yh i'm definitely not with that...the team needs to rebuild, but that doesn't mean Russ needs to chuck the deuces.

                            Yeah, that's definitely their biggest weakness. But with Lou still on the bench who could be inserted at a moment's notice, I think they will be fine.

                            I think any WCF or ECF prediction should be written in pencil and not marker. Injuries, aging and depth will be more important now than ever.

                                The West is going to be a blood bath. I think the Clippers are slight favorites because as a closing lineup to start Pat Bev, Lou Will, PG, Kawhi, Montrezl. That's really good.

                                Hey Bos might be a top 4 seed again! The East is wide open but I sense the Bucks are just going to dominate.

                                also Marcus Morris is a really solid player but man there are going to be times you really hate watching him play. When the shots are going in it's good but it's careful what you wish for situation. but given the options that doesn't really matter just saying though.
