There are 7 teams that could make a case for the first seed this year. I’m not sure that the eighth seed goes to OKC. The Spurs still exist, the Mavs are coming up, as are the Kings.

I said 'could', not would; though I wouldn't count them out. They still have a nice roster with a lot of depth:

C: Steven Adams*, Nerlens Noel
PF: Jerami Grant*, Mike Muscala, Patrick Patterson
SF: Danilo Gallinari*, Darius Bazley, Abdel Nader, Deonte Burton
SG: Andre Roberson, Dennis Schroeder, Terrance Ferguson, Hamidou Diallo
PG: Russell Westbrook*, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Although we're obviously a better team, like us, OKC can withstand injuries (especially with their backcourt).

That might be the worst shooting team in the league.
 
I hope Westbrook, Wall, and Boogie all go to the Knicks.
 
The Lakers have signed Quin Cook, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Danny Green, and are likely to pursue Javale McGee.

Javale McGee /
Anthony Davis /
Kyle Kuzma /
Danny Green / KCP / Talen Horton-Tucker
Lebron James / Quin Cook

Looks like a 50-win team if they stay relatively healthy.

They currently have seven players who shot 33.6% or higher from three. For reference, Jazz 2018-19 roster had the same amount last season. OKC will be fine, even with guys like Westbrook, Roberson, etc. clanking jumpers.

Looks like 50 wins... over two seasons. I’m kidding... they are a playoff team but they don’t scare me... they need more horses.

They are in a tough spot... they aren’t a title contender now and have no picks left. This offseason was kind of do or die and they died.

I might get roasted for this but I don’t see that Lakers team listed here as a 50 win team at all. That’s no higher than a 6th seed to me.

That team, as shown above, needs 100% health and zero “load management” for Bron or AD to survive the west. Either being out for 15+ games is bad news.
