Please explain to me how this roster wins more than 20 games if Bosh isn't playing.

Dragic and whiteside should be good for 25 wins at the minimum.
Meanwhile the 6ers have 8 guys that do the same thing. Sergio might be there best shooter

I could totally see Miami tanking if they get off to a bad start like 2007-08.

Philly could very well be tanking again this season.

Definitely not. Whoever Okafor/Noel is traded for will be players to win right now. Hopefully Avery Bradley and a couple other pieces.

Fultz, Dennis smith, the French kid could all be worth tanking for

Missed buc em mentioning bosh. If he can't play well yeah they might be bad, like Philly bad. I'd still be scared as hell to bet my life that Phillly would have a better record though

Besides the Sixers, the Kings, Nets, Lakers and Heat (if Bosh doesn't play) are really the only teams I see as definitely having bad records. Wizards could honestly end up being bad too if Wall and Beal keep hating eachother and the team plays even worse than last year. Nuggets and Suns aren't playoff teams but have enough talent that they won't be completely terrible. Pelicans have absolutely nothing besides AD so I wouldn't doubt it if they struggle pretty bad too.

So does Wall hate Beal because he got paid?

They could be better than the Nuggets and Suns too. As long as they finish outside the top 3 picks then I'm good with it.

Maybe the Suns (least impressive team vs the Lakers last yr), but unlikely the Nuggets. I think the Lakers are firmly in the top 3 pick race.

Russell and Ingram would have to severely under-perform for that to be a bottom 3 team in the league.

It's the predicament of being the worst team in the best conference.

You're giving that **** up to us unprotected the following year if we don't get it next year, so just fork that thing over for the 2017 Draft
I'll be rooting for the Lakers all year long

Heat probably underrated going into the season, but lots of bias of course. Most probably know nothing of the roster as-is

That 2017 Draft is going to be pretty damn nasty and we should have two top 8 or so picks.
Tatum
Jackson
Giles
Smith
Fultz
Fox
Ball
Monk
Hartenstein
Ntilkina
Isaac
Gabriel

Not really sold on anyone from this class besides fultz and maybe Smith but those pick(s) should be good trade chips at least
