Top of the West is kind of turning into trash. The League needs the Lakers.

Perhaps a Jrue Holiday, Draymond Green led team could make an 8-seed, but if a tree falls in the forest . . .

Draymond on 1st or 2nd team All-NBA defense for the last 5 years.
Pre-countering the inevitable 'that's a popularity vote' with a 'you don't know better than the 100 or so writers/broadcasters who vote on it' and 'do you even watch the NBA'.

Think about how cool it would be if Wiggs didn't suck.

I'm worried how badly Culver is going to make him look.

Kind of like when Oubre was traded to the same team as Josh Jackson.

He doesn't have much time left before he's consigned to the "shoulda been" pile.

I wouldn't go as far to say Green is trash, but I would definitely be in the group calling him overrated. He has a role for the current team he is on, and he is very good at that role. I just don't see any specific skill he really excels at.

Besides being a dick and kicking people in their dick?

I can’t fucking stand Draymond, but the year before Durant arrived in GS he averaged 14p, 9.5r and 7.4a.

That’s pretty damn good

Jackson just traded to Memphis.

Korver part of the deal and expected to be waived. I'd put odds at about 97% he signs for vet min in LA.

Very relevant article with concern to Josh Jackson.
He's talented but in todays NBA, you need the perimeter shot more than ever.

Kawhi to the clippers. and Paul george traded to the clippers for draft picks

A ton of first round draft picks. Five or six of em.
And Galinari.

Another All Star who realized Westbrook wasnt a guy you win titles with.

There were also two earthquakes in Southern California...coincidence?

What a crazy offseason. I can't remember the last time that some many different teams had a legit shot at going deep into the playoffs. This will be interesting for sure.

The predictable KCP and Javale McGee signings have commenced.

Clippers have a nice squad.

As for GM LeBron, I don't want Davis to get hurt because I think he's a pretty good dude and I generally like Calipari's players, but when he inevitably misses a ton of games and possibly the playoffs, it's just yet another "told you so" for Mr. Space Jam Sequel.

Two man show and a bunch of fill in's. Cleveland repeat. Lots of teams improved. Not sure the Lakers did.
