suns go to easy choice if they sign marc gasol, lamarcus aldridge, kawhi leonard and jimmy butler and trade bledsoe for steph curry.
see how pointless this is?

2016? What about 2017 western conference playoffs? That is when the real shit is going down.

Go easy on SDC. Its not like we have ANYTHING else to talk about.
McDonough was in recent article stating how things can turn around like they did with Houston. As if a James Harden situation comes up more than once a decade.
They should have capitalized on the last "Harden opportunity": James Harden. I still cant get over that the two teams met to discuss trade and couldnt "come close" to a deal.
Me: Whatever you want, you can have it.
Houston: We want Gortat, Dudley and two picks.
Me: Whatever you want, you can have it.

i'm assuming gentry will start Ajinca, AD, Holliday, eric gordon (only because he shoots 45% 3pt).
i wonder who plays the small forward? tyreke? or will he come off the bench?

Spurs
Clippers
Thunder
Borderline Contenders
Rockets
Grizzlies
Fighting for last two spots

You could make a case for rockets and grizz in tier 1, I just think the other 4 teams are a step above. Also Pelicans might be their own tier, I dont think they're a contender, but they'll be a playoff team

I have a feeling that the Kings are going to be much improved and fighting for that last spot too.

Yeah, maybe. It's just that they are pretty much a mess from top to bottom. Cousins will need to play out of his mind.

Just seems like too much talent to not succeed a little bit. Seems like Rondo will fit in perfect with that bunch of head cases.
BTW Carey, I just followed you on twitter.
