Also waiting on Drew.
I hate to say I'm not super opTIMistic. Getting Rubio will help. I'm really down on DLO and KAT, but I have to admit they are very good offensive players. We do have wing depth, which we may sadly need during the pandemic.
But the West is going to be tough this year. I see us being better than Sacramento, and probably two or maybe three out of this group: (San Antonio, OKC, Memphis, and New Orleans). If Houston trades Harden, I'd also say we're better than them. But that means if everything breaks well, we're still hoping to get the 10th or 9th seed for the play-in. Not super inspiring. There are definitely Eastern teams we should be able to beat that could get us some wins though, depending on how the second half of the schedule shapes up. And I'm mentally thinking back on how Rubio should help us, which has me feeling a little better.
In terms of wins, assuming we can actually play the full 72 games, I guess I'd go with 33.
EDIT: I change that from 32 to 33 at the last minute just after posting. Just feeling a bit more opTIMistic after all. Not much. But a little.
