I don't even know if they can get to a 6th seed as currently constructed. A lot depends on how often AD can remain healthy, and what Kyrie looks like coming off a major surgery on the wrong side of 30. There are other teams in the West who will improve, and we can't get a read on just yet.

It's safe to assume that AD will miss around 20 games per season.  He's averaged 60.5 games played throughout his career.
