    Clippers have the best defensive team, best duo and best bench.
    I predict clippers 67 wins. GS 48 wins.

    And the best NBA executive to ever live in Jerry West.

    Got to factor in Paul George's shoulder surgery and Leonard's load management. Their regular season wins won't reflect their true standings in the league, imo

    I hate these predictions. False sense of security. Rockets have done a good job maintaining their core. But *maintaining* isn't good enough. Need *new additions*

    Clippers salary at 120 mil
    GS salary at 137 if stretch Livingston.
    Rockets at 131 mil
    Lakers at 112.

    Little luxury tax profit this year.

    He definitely does have an amazing track record but being able to sell when in LA needs a major grain of salt. He only had moderate success in Memphis. If that’s all he ever did his executive career would be unremarkable.

    Clippers won't get 67 wins with Kawhi's load management

    They missed bad on the Bucks, but overall not bad at all. Had Warriors and Raptors as finals favorites.

    Had us at 56-26 and we finished 53-29

    First start date available is October 15th though, so the one released today is way earlier than last years.

    Yeah but the rankings also did not account for any injuries happening to JH, Chris Paul, Capela, Gordon.......and MDA.
