This^
We really need the first title so bad to unlock our franchise.
Guys like T-Mann, BBJ or Coffey will be even more dangerous after they know how to win it all.

And will give us an opportunity showcase guys like MM or Mann for a trade. I’m definitely on team load management until the trade deadline.

Resting the stars will give more playing time to Mann, Luke, and Coffey to help them develop.

Very nice division rundown. The Clippers look locked and loaded for a memorable season. Hang a banner or two as a parting gift to Lakers fans before moving into the majestic Intuit Dome.

Predictions: Bron and AD will not be healthy all season. Russ will not be better. Locker-room fight between emotional Russ and hot-head arch-enemy PatBev. Lakers implode and finish under .500.

Who knows exactly what the seeding will take in games w/L
But anything can happen
And if Bron and AD are healthy all season (I know that’s a lot to ask) they could be anywhere from out of the play-in to 9/10 seed to even top 4 if there extremely improve with new coach better Russ and new players buying in. I believe in when I see it, believe it 41-41 or worse make me extremely happy, but they could surprise a hell of a lot more then that
It’s the nba where anything can happen.

I feel like we might somehow end up with Bojan Bogdonavic this year. While he doesn’t solve any of our needs, I feel like that’s a great inefficient opportunity for us to take advantage of. I highly doubt Utah will be able to get market for him given his age and contract expiration approaching. Clippers might be the team that convinces itself it could convince him to stay for a reasonable price in the offseason. I would think a consolidation trade of Luke, Mann and BBJ would be a great way to let go of some really talented guys that likely won’t get a ton of minutes on our roster for a pretty solid upgrade that would slide in really well in a bench line up with Batum, Roco, Wall and Norm; tons of shooting across and enough size for two full line ups and then in crunch time, PG, Norm, Leonard, Bojan and Batum would be a massive offensive force completely loaded with talented shooters and floor spacing.

Reggie/Wall
PG/Norm
Leonard/Bojan
MM/Batum
Zubac/Roco

I know people here are clamoring for Myles Turner. While he obviously solves our depth problem at the 5, I feel like Bojan’s BBIQ would be way more valuable to us and the FO would prefer to go after him instead. Myles Tuner is super athletic, but I feel like he doesn’t know where to be in general and while I get he’s a great shot blocker, I feel like he’s not as crafty as Bojan on D. I’d rather have Roco or Batum at the 5 next to Bojan than have Myles Turner playing center alongside any of our guys.

Lmao. Improvement by 46 wins? That would put them from 10th to 9th.

Yeah gun for the best seed possible 1,2, or 3 at worst. I have high expectations this year and the team if healthy better just go for it!

Only rest em if we’re up big or if we’re playing a shitty team and we know for sure our depth will still take the W .
I agree fuck pussy footin around this season , secure the best seed to have the easiest path in the playoffs . 1 seed should be the target!
