So take my predictions as a grain of salt, but I have them 7th in the west. Maybe I am discounting Luka way to much and if he is playing as a top 5 player, the team will not slip that much. I just think the west is really tough. Outside of 2-3 teams, you will need to play well to win each night. I just feel there is one or two things missing on this team that will pop up throughout the season. I hope I am wrong.
I think a lot depends on Luka's health in terms of regular season wins. If we get lucky and he plays 80+games then a top 2 seed is very much on the table.
But being so Lukacentric scares me when the playoffs roll around especially since all this regular season work is going to wear him down
