I'm still thinking that the Lakers are outside the Top 5. Chicago and Atlanta are awful. They're virtual certainties for the top 3. Then you have Dallas, Sacramento, Phoenix, LAL, LAC, Charlotte and BKN left. I'm assuming that Memphis improve once their injured players come back. Sacramento is just awful. I think they beat out LAL. That leaves six teams "fighting" for those last two spots in the top 5 and, as far as I can tell, LAL has more talent than most of them. I have no idea what the Clippers will do; they may start to rebuild.
The upside is, no matter who they draft, the Kings always seem to be just awful. They don't have a lot of money tied up for 2018-19, but I'm not sure that they're going to get a lot of free agents who want to be there, so they may be a dumping ground for bad contracts and future draft picks. I'm all for that, since the future draft picks won't affect us.
