I’d fire Kerr.Agreed but how?
If you could rebuild the Warriors, how would you do it?
Let Klay go.
Trade Draymond
Trade CP
“Redshirt” Steph with some injury
Build around Kuminga, Podz, TJD, and see if Wiggins is washed.
Nuggets loss to the Spurs has big playoff ramificationsIn Western Conference #1 seed news, Thunder beat the Bucks. Nuggets lose to the Spurs. T-Wolves beat the Hawks.
So right now, each team is 56-25. Based on tiebreakers, here are the top 3 (Sunday opponent), it's T-Wolves (vs. Suns), Thunder (vs. Mavs), Nuggets (vs. Grizz).
Mavs-Clippers is locked in. The rest is in flux.
I think there would be more traction for Luka if the Mavs didn't hover around the #8 seed most of the season.I think I would vote Luka for MVP this season. Kinda surprised he doesnt have more traction although I think I'm cool with Jokic winning again.
A dangerous 6 seed.The NBA and WNBA have conquered the pro sports landscape by making sure we never have to go more than a few days without professional basketball. The Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA Finals 3-1 just four nights ago and here we are getting ready for the season to tip.
As usual, there are plenty of lingering questions to answer this season and several have to do with KD, Harden, and the Sixers.
How will the newest big three of KD, Booker, and Beal fare in the stronger Western Conference?
No and yes.Will Harden ever play for Daryl Morey again? Is Harden yet another future Clipper?
Very much yes, but no.Can Embiid maintain MVP form and do it for 65+ games to meet the new awards standard?
Yes.Will the current Clippers, especially Kawhi and PG remain healthy top-tier talents?
Yes. No but does it even matter? Probably?Will the reigning champion Nuggets stay at the top of the West and can Jokic stay at the top of his game? Can Jamal Murray or even Aaron Gordon make their first All-Star game? Will the young talent adequately replace Bruce Brown and other vets from last year's team?
No and yes. We'll see.Will the Bucks' or Celtics' improvements on paper manifest over 82 games AND into the NBA Finals?
Yes. Yes. Definitely not. Not sure. I think Riley breaks up the Heat if they don't pull off a first round upset.Who will emerge from the next tier of the Eastern Conference? The Knicks? The Cavs? The Nets? Does the regular season even matter to the Heat?
No. He'll have a longer NBA career than Bronny at this point. Yes but no. If you told me the Lakers would get 70+ games from Lebron and AD, I'd think they'd do a little better than the #8 seed.Will Lebron ever truly decline? Can the Lakers stay healthy and contend for the top of the West?
Yes and yes.Will the Warriors core decline? Does CP3 come off the bench?
Yes, yes, no, and kind of. No.Will the Thunder, T-Wolves, Jazz, or Pelicans make the leap? Or could Wemby, Scoot, or the Rockets mix of youth and vets vaunt them into playoff contention?
On one hand I get this, but on the other people don’t dig enough. Mavs top lineup has third to least minutes played together of any team in NBA. And their top 9 guys all missed considerable time this year other than LukaI think there would be more traction for Luka if the Mavs didn't hover around the #8 seed most of the season.
For the record I’m fine with Jokic as MVP. I just hate that oddsmakers and straw polls are making it a runaway. I think SGA and Luka both deserve more respect than runaway MVP vote for JokicI think I would vote Luka for MVP this season. Kinda surprised he doesnt have more traction although I think I'm cool with Jokic winning again.
I think people tend to lock in their MVP vote in March. If people didn't do that, I think SGA and Luka would have a much better chance than they actually do.On one hand I get this, but on the other people don’t dig enough.

It’s a testament to Luka they climbed to 5. And they have an almost .750 winning percentage when Luka and Kyrie both play and are top 5 net since deadline
They would project out as a top 2/3 seed without the injuries (and even with injuries they finished with 7th best record in NBA)
