Having actually filled this out, I have no clue... when is this due by? I'm not satisfied with many of these and I'll need to edit it.

Ugh this year is tough. Picking Houston right now is borderline impossible. If Harden stays and plays engaged they could be super dangerous, but if he's traded for future talent / picks and Wall goes down I could see them competing for as high of a pick as possible.

Golden state and Houston are probably the hardest to predict. If I knew Harden was going to be on Houston the whole year I would probably switch them and GS. With GS it's hard to predict Steph Curry out of the playoffs but unless Wiseman is really good right away or they have someone in MIP contention I can't see them higher than 8. Based on prior performance I only see 2 above average nba players on their roster and maybe 1 or 2 more average players, and that's not really good enough in the western conference.

UTA #1 is mostly a homer pick but I do think it's possible

I guess I’ll let it ride with my ****** predictions.
 
I would to change where I have GS... they look like trashy trash trash.
Yeah, I forgot Klay isnt coming back for this season as well. But they should get Green back which is big. He has been the heart of the team. Plus they have 3 new starters to acclimate, it will take a little time to get going if they do.

It ain’t just Klay... they have no one that can create a shot... Green will help but their other guys are not great.

Wiseman looks like he belongs though. Think he will help em... he’s murdering garbage time.

Outside of Curry I think Wiggins and Oubre can create a little they just need to get more comfortable. Plus they have to make their 3s. Steph shooting terrible wont last and that will open things up more. Its not like Klay was a big creator before, maybe he was capable but he didnt create near as much as Wiggins and Oubre have in their careers. But they will miss his defense and elite shooting.

No Iggy, Livingston, and KD obviously gonna hurt em. Klay didn’t create with the ball in his hands but with his movement he opens things up... would get a few shots in the post. Nets might be better on defense than people think but it looked like GS couldn’t get anything going.

They had over a dozen wtf turnovers. They looked very bad.
