Pretty self explanatory title.
Wondering what non-Laker teams people on LG like/will be watching this upcoming season

Mine are:
Minnesota- want to see how much Thibs will improve the team
NY- wanna see if Rose plays well in a change of scenery. Also think NY isn't done signing people
Denver- like the Mudiay/Murray backcourt

As of now,

Wolves-The most intriguing team in the NBA next season
Sixers-Keep an eye on Simmons and Embiid
Clippers-Love rooting against them

Waiting to see how free-agency will shake up the lineups of other teams.

Yep, I agree with Minnesota. They are going to be really really good. I think the Suns also got much better due to the draft. Sixers, how good is Simmons and will Embiid get healthy?

Knicks - I'm an avid Phil fan so interested to see how they're doing
Bulls - How will rebuilding 3.0 work?
Thunder - If Durant leaves, do they build around Westbrook or start over?

I got Minny than NY too. For #3, I'm going with GSW...I'm really curious to see which way they break. Obviously no way they're going to go for 73 again. I actually think they might pace themselves so it'll be a curiosity.

This is all subject to change of course if Durant or Bron decide to do something wacky.

MIN- Could be our main rival in 3 years
Pacers- I think they're the biggest threat to the Cavs
DET- I like how SVG has built his team and want to see how far they can go.
