Free agency blitz is subsiding—short one Portland legend and Philly one-and-done—and summer league starts tomorrow.
What are your entirely too premature hot take predictions for mid-season playoff seeding based on the unfolding landscape? Harden and Lillard be damned.
Mine are:
West
- Nuggets
- Kings
- Lakers
- Suns
- Thunder
- Clippers
- Warriors
- Mavericks
- Grizzlies
- Jazz
East
- Knicks
- Celtics
- Heat
- Bucks
- Cavs
- Raptors
- Sixers
- Magic
- Nets
- Pacers
Lol at Knicks at 1 😉
I’ll do top 3 cause I’m lazy
West
- Denver
- Suns
- Kings
East
- Bucks
- Celtics
- Cavs
This list is meant to start fights
I don’t think the Grizz will be out of the top 5 unless Rose gets injured and JJJ is out. Grizz should still be really good even without Ja for 25 games.
I think last year was the year—now multiple teams making leaps where they will not + be hamstrung by lack of Ja. I think Thunder and Warriors will neck and neck them. Suns and Clippers have a lucky year regarding injuries finally and the West sees like 6 50 win teams or something.
I actually don’t know that the Suns will seed that high. I like this though…the west is going to be wild, that’s for sure.
