[Moheezy]

Who you got for the West and other predictions? Moheezy

1. Denver (I love their moves in the offseason)
2. OKC
3. Rockets (the only reason they are not higher is because KD is old and they lost their starting PG and will rely heavily on an unproven Reed Sheppard)
4. Wolves (their PG situation is going to be interesting)
5. Lakers (The team is not perfect, but Luka is HIM)
6. Clippers (Too old and Kawhi being a part time player makes it hard to put higher)
7. Mavs (They look solid, but really need Kyrie since they don't have a true #1 option)
8. Warriors (Jimmy coasting through regular season is going to hurt them, and their core is old)
9. Spurs (too inexperienced for me to put higher but I can be easily proven wrong)

Mu goodness the West is loaded. Anyone from 1 to 9 can make a deep playoff run.

• MVP: Luka, Joker, SGA
• DPOY: Wemby
• ROY: Trey Johnson
• MIP: MPJ

Hot takes:

• Orlando will struggle to optimize Franz and Wagner paring
• Ausar will have a mini leap offensively giving minutes and cementing himself as the better defensive twin
• Russ will be the tank commander in Sacramento and they will attempt to blow it up but will not succeed.
• IF Atlanta struggles, then it's all eyes on Trey as he is on the no excuse list
• Giannis will be traded by the deadline
• Kuminga will stay with the Warriors.
• The spurs will be fast and fun to watch, but they will realize that they will have to move one of their three guards (Fox, Castle, and Harper).
• PG will be a very good 3&D wing, he won't be worth the contract at all, but will be an asset.
• Washington will be labeled as the next team up. They will be very competitive but will struggle to win close games.
• New Orleans and Charlotte will be dumpster fires.
