It looks like as if NBA-players consider the Clippers, Bucks and Lakers as favorites for the NBA-title.
I really dislike this buy-out market. It gives an edge to teams that have superstars on big contracts, but don't have a balanced payroll. They can just pick-up veteran role players for free, while other smaller markets/teams have to assign a bigger part of their cap for capable rotation players. The rich get richer.
