The Lakers will win 50+ games.
So things are the same this season.... We know the top 4 are pretty muck locked up already (Chi, ATL, DAL, Sac). I would say Lakers and Suns and Nets probably in the mix for worst top 5 too.
I think NYK in that next tier. With teams like Clippers and Heat... as teams that could be a playoff team or a top 10 pick.
Is it possible we hit a skid and bottom out at about 30-35 wins, and a few teams go on a run (say LAK and PHO and DAL)? Maybe....
I think we have an outside chance to finish 5th or 6th.... most likely, we end up around 7-12 range.... which means we need a little lottery Luck to jump up.
Good news is the Greek Freak was the 15th pick. Maybe we end up with a stud even in the 7-12 range.
well, clarence gaines is still working for us. he is the guy who told phil to draft KP, frank, willy, kuz, dotson, etc. i still feel good about all those guys, even though we let go of kuz. put it this way, he hasn't drafted a flat out bust yet, so i'm feeling pretty confident about the next draft no matter where we land.

Top high school prospect Anfernee Simons is considering entering the 2018 NBA draft, reports ESPN.
The 6?foot?4 shooting guard is ranked No. 12 nationally on 247sports.com and No. 8 on ESPN.
He is doing a fifth season of high school at IMG Academy in Florida.
Freak athlete, terrible FT shooter though I think thats fixable, his mechanics aren't too bad. I think the kid Doncic is the most skilled player in this draft but this kids innate gifts are too much to pass on, I think he's the number 1 pick this draft.Marvin Bagley with 30 & 15 tonight. I think 9-10 from FT line. He's almost unguardable. It's crazy to think he should be a senior in HS this year. 6/8 games with double-double.
And, last 3 games his team has come back from second half deficits.... in part bc of him.

I said he looked to be a bust after being drafted right after Porzingis. Apparently the Magic are giving up on him.
28.5/10.5 average thus far for the season
