    No more historical Warriors juggernaut in the way.

    Trading Capela and Gordon for Butler will actually make this team weaker.

    let me see what the Lakers do 1st, and sorry, but every year my faith in Harden, aging/declining CP0, and a bunch of limited/inconsistent role players winning a title decreases more and more

    I thought we had a 2 year window without adding another star, and now we’re going into year 3

    as of now, I don't see it. still a good team but running it back with the same exact personnel is going to cut it to me.

    Lakers still have cap space

    Jazz got better with Conley & Bogdanovic

    Pelicans got better

    I'm hearing Dragic to Dallas

    I'm hearing DLo to Minnesota

    we still have Denver, OKC

    Portland got better with Bazemore

    LeBron is getting old and injury prone. Davis is always injury prone. They do not scare me.

    If Lakers could land Leonard, then Rockets would have some competition in the west.

    Calm down, the Rockets would move the farm to sign & trade for Kawhi.

    What are they going to do? Refuse to play for their contract?

    Buddy, you're peddling objectivity and optimism during the height of Whine Season.

    Good luck.

    Wrong!!!
    If that were the case we would of been in the finals this year.

    We lack rebounding and efficient 3pt shooters.
    Fix the rebounding issue at the min. & perhaps we talk about a Chip...

    If Portland gets Kevin Love as the rumor has it, they will get better

    Also I believe New Orleans might compete for a playoff spot

    Dallas got better too with Dragic

    The Rockets ability to win a title is in definitely in question. They failed in the two BEST years of CP3's contract. (This year didn't even get to the WCF)
