Which team has a better chance to make the Playoffs: Kings, Blazers or Lakers?

[Tr1boy]

Which team do you think? 

[Eja117]

Kings

[Who]

Kings. Definitely. Far and away, the Kings.

Much better team than the other two teams. Lakers and Blazers will be bottom 5 teams.

Sacramento should be a 40+ win team.

If Sacramento can live up to their talent (with Cousins, Gay, Rondo, being coached by George Karl) they'll have a shot at the playoffs. The Blazers have no shot and I don't even think they'll be that interested in trying. The Lakers have deluded themselves into thinking they have a shot but Kobe is washed up and no one on the roster can play defense except for Roy Hibbert who might not be able to do anything anymore.

So yeah, Kings. But I wouldn't bet on them making it either.

[MJohnnyboy]

Kings. They have the most talent by far of those three.

[Tr1boy]

Kings. They have the most talent by far of those three.

yes but they also have Cousins and now Rondo to add to the "drama".  If the team can coexist, yes they can make it.  Effort from start to finish is another story in my opinion. I think the edge will go to the Blazers.  Aldrige was a big loss but they signed several decent "B" players. A better bench than last season also.   Maybe trying to mirror what the Celts are doing. Lillard is one of a better young pgs in the league

Lots of question marks surrounding the Lakers.  I think Kobe and Russell will butt heads.  Kobe will probably be down on Hibberts neck all year.   He won't have issues with new additions like Bass and Williams.   

[D.o.s.]

Has to be Sacramento.

The Kings have the best chance.... they are the jumbo shrimp of the West.

Does "Drama" play power forward?

[Eja117]

I think the Lakers are very capable of drama. If I'm DeAngelo Russell I'm not there to watch a 36 year old has been hog the ball.

[Who]

I thought D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson played poorly together in summer league. I think those two are going to have a lot of problems playing together. Clarkson is too ball-dominant. Forces Russell to spend too much time without the ball.

And that is before Kobe Bryant even figures into things ...
Or Lou Williams ...

[MJohnnyboy]

Don't forget Nick Young!

[Eja117]

I imagine Hibbert and Randle could get confused and frustrated as well.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Kings and it's not close from a chance perspective.

[Birdman]

Sacramento...if they all can keep calm and don't explode
