This is Legler’s prediction. Dallas, GSW and LAC fighting for 6, 7 & 8 in the west behind OKC, Denver, Houston, LAL and Minnesota. I wouldn’t necessarily put LAL in the first 1-5 locks. I see them more on par with the Dallas, GSW and LAC group. Of course, injuries always ravage someone in the top tier.
Ditto on LAL for me. And, I have a sneaky suspicion we might see some slippage from Minnesota, as well. They lost NAW, and Naz Reid, who I already thought was a little overrated, got paid, so who knows what effect that will have on his day-to-day motor. Gobert gets less mobile and more dinosauresque with each passing second. Is Conley done yet?
The only teams I'm pretty convinced can be written in at the top in ink are OKC, Denver and Houston.
