Time to get this going since the regular season starts in two weeks.
1. Who wins the East?
2. Who wins the West?
3. Who is the MVP?
4. Biggest surprise team?
5. Biggest disappointment?
6. Big trade prediction? Who? When? To where?
Cleveland is... bad.
It's going to be a long, long season for Cleveland. Tristan Thompson is going to look like a fool for his preseason statement lol.
Oh, no, not at all. However, they're going to be baddddddddd. Like, I'm thinking no more than 15 wins bad.What, you thought they were going to be not bad?

Should still fight for 8th seed.What, you thought they were going to be not bad?
It's only one game so you can't read it too much but one of the main things to watch coming in was how KAT would react and play with Butler back on the team. He only took six shots and fouled out in 22 mins last night. Thibs ultimately got his way by having Butler back in the lineup but it'll be interesting to see how things go with KAT.
It's not going to end well for the Timberwolves. The longer Butler/Thibs are around, the more annoyed KAT/Wiggins will be.
Given Butler already is hell bent on leaving, you don't really want to alienate the guys that actually want to stick around.
They should trade KAT & keep Jimmy
That would not be the right move.They should trade KAT & keep Jimmy
All the focus is on Butler's relationship with Towns/Wiggins and the Wolves organization but the bigger issue might be Towns' relationship with the Wolves if things don't change. I believe the reports of him not signing his extension because he wanted to see what happens with Butler and then agreeing once it became clear Butler would be gone. Thibs is gone sooner rather than later so he doesn't care but ownership probably should since KAT is the franchise.
Absolutely not even if Butler staying long-term was an option. KAT is 7 years younger, injury free, and will likely be a top 10 player in the very near future. He's the one to build around.
