Top 4 basically means 50 wins. I don't think I am being too optimistic personally but I hear you. People doubted my 42-40 last season. I definitely see us making more strides and challenging for homecourt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one thing we shouldn't bet on is staying relatively injury free. Injuries happen and they happen sporadically. For those teams who do limit injuries they are they exception. Odds are we aren't lucky enough to be afforded that benefit two years in a row. I think we will still end up in the 6-8 range with a similar record plus or minus 5 games or so. Tier 1: Milwaukee, Sixers, Toronto(With Kawhi), Boston Tier 2: Indiana, Brooklyn Tier 3: Magic, Heat, Detroit, Toronto(without Kawhi), Miami Not much has changed from last year to me. We are in your 2nd tier definitely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ideally, we trade Timmy & Fournier for better(?) shooting guard. I'd love to get Birch back and a shooter. Stauskas anyone? I wonder how Jeffries will look in summer league. I also hate Frazier is hurt cause I want to see what we have in him. Stauskas? Loooooool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always defer to players who have help a team win games.........a proven commodity..........Briscoe fits that bill very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't Abrines frill both roles: kinda Vet with a little upside? I like his ability to spread the floor. Certainly him over Meeks or Felton. Deng....washed.
