    they have continuity, health and to top it of youth that they can easily count on internal improvement. Also their arena along gives them +5 wins over the rest of the West.
    I think they will be the first seed in the RS.
    The other contenders, will either be load managing (LAL, LAC) are older (Rockets) or have too many new players they will need time to integrate (Jazz, Portland).
    Denver should start the season rushing out of the gates to the top of the league.

    He'd be an interesting pick up on the cheap if possible. Still 23, 6-10, athletic, and can stretch the floor. Good backup 4/5 option and our depth chart should look attractive.

    Third, they are waiting till all money is spent up and are trying to get a player worth more than the remaining mle.

    Dont know who is left on that front tho, I'm sure jamychal was.

    Lyles wouldn't be a bad option for our PF spot.

    I'd take him over whatever else is left in the FA pool... depending on his asking price of course.

    Houston Rockets is aggressive in the Free Agency Market. They are interested in every player. They will try to improve their roster at all cost.

    We're gonna be OKC next year. Tilman is watching them shed salary, and he's drooling.

    OKC is going to have 10 first round picks after they trade Westbrook to Houston for 4 first rounders.

    Nope, Thunder "dumped" him into a Nuggets trade exception.
    Rockets don't have the room.

    I'm sure Rockets will be interested but won't be able to make a deal. Lol.

    I guess I missed the part where we were one Jerami Grant away from beating Golden State. Grant is long and athletic and yet still a worse rebounder and defensive player than PJ Tucker despite being significantly taller. Are we falling in love with the idea of him more so than what he actually does on a basketball court?
