Philly will be bad but now that they've got their star they won't be actively trying to tank. Although they're pretty much a lock for bottom 5 if they don't trade a couple of centers for someone that can help win games.
Lakers, similarly, will be bad but I think they want to win games. They won't but they'll try. I think the pick is still top 3 protected like last season.
(Jesus, Philly has Simmons and Saric coming over, young trade bait and they can still wind up with 2 top 5 picks in a supposedly loaded draft next summer if the Lakers are 4th or 5ht worst)
Timberwolves are going to win some games with that talent and Thibbs on the bench.
I think Phoenix is going to be bad out of the gate and be tank city.
Dallas and Memphis jsut spent a lot of money and are still clinging to past eras. Unless one of them really nosedives out of the gate, I think they're going to try to win games.
Otherwise, like BitterJim said, it's going to be some team that looks like a playoff team but stumbles or has injuries. Miami is a prime candidate for that but there will be surprises.
Yeah, that Nets pick is looking like another piece of gold.
