Looking at the West, there will be several teams who will be very disappointed in their season. Some will be explained away due to injury. Some will not cause major moves, but it will be interesting to see what happens with some of these teams.
1) OKC- No panic and I am not sure how they will wind up with not one of the best records in the league
2) Houston- Don't think a bad season will have much impact on their decision making. Their roster has a good mix of veterans and youth. I would think they would work around the edges
3) Denver- They appear pretty tied to this roster. Not sure what a big shakeup would entail
4) Minny- I could see something here. Two time conference finals team. A poor season may lead to a little bit of a shakeup
5) Golden State- Not sure what they could do, but a poor season opens up a ton of questions
6) LA Clippers- Could lead to some big questions about Harden and Leonard. Although they appear to be playing the two timeline thing and looking to re-load in 2027 with cap space
7) Lakers- This could get interesting, if they fall back. Their plan may stay the same, but there could be a lot of drama
8) Dallas- Who freakin knows
9) San Antonio- Appear positioned well, but questions will be asked if they can't win in Wemby year 3
10) Portland- Invested in some older players, what happens if it doesn't work?
11) Memphis- Very interesting decisions they have. There is a chance they could wind up with 2 lottery picks in this draft. Do they continue down the road with Ja or do they decide to shake things up?
12-13-15 Sacremento,PHX, New Orleans--I have no idea what either franchise does...winning may not impact what some of their decision ars.
