Man the Knicks are super fucked.

i like the Knicks getting Robin Lopez (slightly overpaid) and Afflalo (okay, melo's friend)

if they start Porzingis, i would want Calderon starting

if Porzingis doesn't start, start the other rookie J Grant at point guard

carmelo is the constant

-
pacers:
getting ellis is fine, but if they lose Hibbert, there will be no D

--------------------

wizards:
just got Dudley, good get
they might get david west, who is an elite mid-range shooter
----------------------------

monroe to the bucks, they will be good and long on defense
-----------------------------

lakers
got no one, big fail
----------------------------------------------

cavaliers:
overpaying for their mediocre players, just for lebron
----------------------

kings
they fucked up, better pray for good Rondo
-------------------
mavs
apparently got deandre jordan and wesley matthews, still need a superstar, will be mediocre for years
---------------------------
rockets
might lose key players
------------------------------------------
celtics
Bad draft, bad free agency
----------------------------------------------------
76ers
tanking for years.

------------------------------------
Jazz
nothing notable

-------------------------------------
Suns
got Tyson chandler, this makes alex len lose minutes - bad

----------------------
raptors
overpaying carroll, bad fit anyway
----------------

magic
got super mario in the draft, they might be better

-------------------------
hawks
will take a step back

------------------------------
warriors
will take a slight step back from last year but still a top 2-3 seed

--------------------------

Robin Lopez is pretty solid. Overpaid him a bit though.

On a side note, the Blazers did a nice job of filling the team with young talent. However, if they lose Aldridge, they'll be super fucked for at least a year.

i predict Blazers, 76ers, Nuggets, Toronto Raptors, Pistons, Kings, Lakers are in the basement next season

Nets, Magic, Indiana also might miss the playoffs
------------------------------
playoffs:

east: cavs, bulls, wizards, bucks, hawks, celtics, Heat...... Knicks/Bobcats/Pacers/Nets

west: warriors, spurs, rockets, clippers, thunder, grizzlies, pelicans, Jazz

this leaves the Mavericks (no point guard) and Suns (only got Tyson Chandler) out..

Yeah the Blazers had the worst collapse out of all the teams, they went from contenders to holy fuck WTF just happened.

The good part is that theyre actually in a position to rebound quickly with all the trades they made. They did pretty good preparing for Aldridge's possible departure.

At least now I can support them without looking like a bandwagoner.

I think they'll still be fine tbh, although without Aldridge, in the West, they could definitely miss the playoffs. They won't be "in the basement" though. I don't see the Jazz making the playoffs.

The Knicks will be back in the playoffs unless they purposely tank. They might want to tank again if they don't start out too strong though because they're nowhere near a contender right now.

This nigga Mexi an NBA expert all of a sudden

Yeah, they should be aight. Maybe 30-40 wins. They going young now.

I know the Knicks got Robin Lopez, who else?

Blazers might go after Kanter tomorrow night. Hope OKC doesn't match.

This FA has been so boring. Even for my Knicks who should've been splashing cash.

Although as a David Lee fan I'm interested to see what he can do with expanded minutes again on the Celtics.

I don't mind the Knicks' moves at all though but they were 'boring' additions. We're an improved team but that wasn't hard to do over last season. I hope Derrick Williams can turn around his career, he's still super young.

Going for the somewhat slow rebuild and I trust it.
