This one on the edge but they did win the division.

It’s over for Steph curry

whew buddy

 

[#1 pick]

Western Conference
Lillard will never win shyt as a #1....team needs reconstruction. That WCF appearance was a fluke
Bagley going #2 over Luka is a way bigger blunder than Trae/Reddish. Dude will never be an Allstar
Suns will be a perennial playoff team soon
Nuggets will make another WCF or two but will never get over the hump
As long as Bron is in the league, he will be a top 20 player
Clips will not win a title with Kawhi
KAT is prob the most talented big of his generation but will never make it past the 2and round, if he even gets that far
Even with the million draft picks they have, OKC wont make another WCF while Presti is there
Pop will retire next year
Utah made it as far as they ever will last year, team hit their ceiling
Luka is great but drastically overrated....he's nowhere near a true MVP candidate
This year's Rockets squad is the most talented they've ever had. Wall will have a bounceback year
Zion is great but will never finish top 3 in MVP voting. Its Ingrams team and BI has turned corner into being an actual baby KD that many predicted he would be

Breh hit on most of this. I would never say Luka for Trae/Reddish is a blunder because Trae is Atlanta. I never seen nikkas love a nikka like we love Trae. Luka would be loved by the cacs but the nikkas would be calling him a ball hog and a Harden wannabe. Reddish could still be a legit star so we really won't know his outcome for a min. He's still a prospect for now.

Bagley might need a change of scenery.

Sadly Wall stuff and Rockets stuff was off and I do think Luka is legit legit.

I was off about Zion, Rockets and looks like Utah too. Trae is better than I expected....i knew he would be good but he is great

Bagley is not crap but he basically injury prone John Collins....a good offensive 4 who cant guard anyone. Bagley woulda fit in great in the 2000s

Reddish looks like another Josh Jackson type.....lot of tools but cant put them together....although I think Jackson has some mental issues goin on lowkey

Reddish is a beast talent wise and defensively. He just got a lot of polishing to do for his game. Jackson doesn't have polish issues, he got mental issues. Reddish is just very raw. The talent is overwhelming. Injuries don't help his case.

Theres still hope for sure. He should concentrate on being a 3 and D guy and then start adding extra stuff on his bag. Not sure if theres room to grow in ATL....Hunter kinda has his lane

He's not a 3 and D guy. He's an all around player who's good at movement off the ball. When you try to pigeon hole him like Finney Smith, he looks like trash like Bogi looked like trash in that role for us. He's at his best moving and with the ball in his hands. He needs to shoot in rhythm like Bogi does. He also needs to shoot much better like he did in the 2nd half of his rookie year and preseason this year.

I'm not saying that's all he can do but sometimes it's best to build a foundation and then add on.

If he needs the ball in his hands to be successful, he needs to go to another team cuz that's not gonna be his role with Trae running the show

With our new system, everyone gets quality touches. When we played TraeBall, only Trae and the bigs got em.

Nate got a W off a not so great Trae night, that's impressive

 

[Professor K.]

The Hawks will be a 6 seed or higher and the way they utilize their depth and rotations will set a new template for team building in the "post-superteam" era.

Will the Hawks Become the New Model for NBA Rebuilds?
