This is the greatest offseason in NBA history.

[lilteapot]

This was what we needed.

I remember how despondent I was last summer when Demarcus signed with the Warriors. I thought, oh great, more the same predictable NBA.

Now, he's done it. Kawhi has brought balance to the NBA.

We now have the most unpredictable NBA season since 2006

Legit title contenders:
Clippers (Kawhi/PG/Lou)
Nuggets
Sixers (finals or BUST)
Rockets (if they get their shit together)

Finals contenders:
Jazz
Blazers
Bucks

Playoff nuisances:
Pacers
Pelicans
Spurs
Nets
Celtics
Lakers
Warriors
Heat
Magic

Most Promising Team:
Knicks
Hawks

Sh*tholes:
Wolves
Suns
OKC
Cavs
Pistons
Hornets
Grizzlies
Wizards

Kawhi is no different...he's been on stacked teams his whole career.

He just won a chip (asterisked, but still) and then just joined a 50-win team while trying to recruit KD (who said no) and PG (who said yes).

So yeah, Kawhi has been doing all he can to stay on stacked teams, which he has had his whole career.

I wonder what Stephan A has to say about that.

[Manny98]

How are Portland a tier above the Lakers lol

Because Lakers have LeBron. He's toxic trash.

[Shogon]

Kawhi didn

Im sure kawhi would rather have prime anthony davis...and dwayne wade... and chris bosh... and kyrie irving... and kevin love.

But he won with kyle lowry.. and before this year totally unknown pascal siakam. and the retirement home spurs.

Kawhi's legacy is rock solid mate.

[bigkingsfan]

The NBA isn't the same without Superteams

[superduper]

Because Lakers have LeBron. He's toxic trash.

And AD's also a statpadding loser so there's that.

[tpols]

on another note the east is back to being shit with kawhi gone and boston's disintegration.

Bucks should romp to the finals.

If Boston and the team really hated Kyrie?

Who knows.

Their chemistry will probably be better. Similar to the 18 team but with Kemba Walker. Losing Horford sucks. True. Their perimeter play is strong though.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Out West?

The Lakers will be better than anyone not named the Clippers imo. So second/third in the West.

Hopefully Klay returns this year, and is 100%. GSW is that sleeping giant.

In the West?

If Klay returns this year, and is 100%. They're definitely the sleeping giant.

Denver Nuggets should improve and surprise us all.
