I think Lonzo is a game/culture changer for this team. While they may get off to a slow start, I believe he will maximize the output from everyone on the team.
There's always a couple of wildcards: injuries, chemistry issues, etc..
The only locks to make the playoffs in the West for me right now are:
Golden State
San Antonio
Houston
Oklahoma City
Minnesota
Portland
Teams I expect to take a step backward (not sure how big):
Utah
LAC
Memphis
You would expect Denver and New Orleans to make a strong push for playoff contention, but that remains to be seen. |
I wouldn't say Minnesota's a "lock" for the playoffs. Come to think of it, I wouldn't put OKC in there yet either.
I'm going to say we'll be a .500 team next year. 42 wins. |
I think there's too much talent on those teams for them not to make the playoffs. OKC adding George and Minnesota with Butler and Teague. |
