Time to go!!
Aiyuk ain’t proven to be elite either. Dude has one really good year. Ceedee been doin his entire rookie deal.This the money CD Lamb and Brandon Auyiuk want.
Just goes to show you how good NBA money is because Lauri isn’t even an elite player like CD and Brandon.
Don’t put that on KD
Nobody thought they'd win 37 and 31 games the past two seasons. Hardy is a great coach and there's enough legit talent on that roster to compete on a nightly basis.
Lauri, Sexton and Clarkson will all get hot and win them games. I'm a Keyonte George believer and I bet he steals them some games too.
Markkanen, Sexton, Clarkson, George, Kesler and Collins are all rotation or better players. Even if they're 12th in the west, they will be better than Washington, Detroit, Charlotte, Chicago and Brooklyn for sure. Probably Toronto as well.
Both of those guys shouldn’t be on the roster right now if we’re being honest as other teams could use their services in a reserved role especially Clarkson who they should have moved years ago.
Even if they sweep all the teams you listed from the Eastern Conference, that's only 12 wins.
Where are the other 23 coming from? Portland is the only team in the West that I think they'll win their season series against.
Utah has won 23 and 21 games at home the last two seasons. Utah is only at a slightly lower elevation than Denver. It's always one of the toughest places to play.
Utah has a better overall team than San Antonio and they're going to give teams problems at home all season.
Of course they shouldn't but they are so they're gonna win them some games. This is why I don't understand what the hell Utah's plan is. They're not bad enough to flat out tank to the bottom and not good enough to be a playoff team. They are in no man's land.
