I would say the Sixers are not going to make the playoffs but the Bulls and Hawks are likely locks to fall out of the playoffs. Pacers too if they end up dealing George. I'm guessing Miami will slide in to one of the slots. But after the 6th team in that conference, it's a complete shitshow.

Charlotte probably moves up, Miami too Sixers could definitely do it but the two people responsible for most of the ballhandling/playmaking will be rookies and expectations should be adjusted accordingly

It's not too crazy, the East will have some really putrid teams. Assuming Millsap signs elsewhere and George gets traded, those last two playoffs slots could be anyone.

Yeah lmao the Pacers will for sure fall out of the playoffs, but they'll try their damnedest to get in!!! And they'll ruin their lottery chances doing so. PG is definitely gone, even if it's for pennies on the dollar. They won't re-sign Teague and they'll likely deal Thad Young by the trade deadline.

I'm not a "Lebron to LA" doomsayer, but the only way I see him hesitant on that job is if he thinks Bron is leaving or Gilbert wants the payroll slashed. E: https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/879119326812356608 What in the world would Denver want with Love?

In the Lowe-Arnovitz podcast, they said Denver is trying to get a star at pretty much any costs and don't really care if it's a rental or whatever cue arguments about whether kevin love is an all-star, possibly a joke about him being an all-star professional eater, etc

Doltos posted:Love next to Jokic would be insane why wouldn't they want that Seems like a terrible fit to me. They're both best when they handle the ball and run the offense out of the high post, both poor to middling defenders, good rebounders but not great cleanup guys, slow. They duplicate one another's best traits and exacerbate each other's worst ones. Hella spacing on that team though and that's the mania right now I guess

Cool Buff Man posted:This reads less like news and more like just elaborating on what the Cavs tried to do on draft night Yeah, lots of past tense. Probably for the best anyway. Imagine how many points Boogie, AD, KAT etc. would put up on that frontcourt. They'd probably break records. Those fullcourt outlet passes would have been rad, though. I'd be fine with the Nuggets just adding Millsap and maybe Beverley then calling it an offseason.

Those fullcourt outlet passes would have been rad, though. I think it would make Beverly really happy to be the real pg and share offense creating with Jokic. Millsap would help them but I don't know if that would mess up their chances of re-signing their draftees in 2-3 years from now

I suspect Millsap will want to play for a team that's at least already a playoff squad, not a young team that won't be good until he's in his mid 30s

I wonder if Millsap could be a target for Miami if they don't land Hayward? Would kind of fit pretty well next to Whiteside and is certainly an upgrade over last years starting PF, Luke Babbitt
