There must be loan players like football. We win title with Curry on loan.

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
