Can u say with certainty theyre not? Its really not outlandish to see them winning 25 games next year. Utah has a really nice collection of young players , Lakers still have Kobe , and Sactowns best couple players far outweigh our own.

Honestly yes, the wolves won 31 games without love and only a half year of Rubio. On the lakers only kobe would start for the wolves and he is coming off of two major injuries. Also its not like the wolves are a bunch of bums, top ten players for there positions at center and sg. With quality players around

While this team is definitely going to having a rebuilding year, I just don't see realistically how Utah or Sacramento are positioned to have a better season than us. I get it that we are losing a Top 10 player, but (at least in my opinion) we still have more combined talent on our roster than the Kings or Jazz.

Who gives a crap about these rankings. Somebody has to be at the bottom honestly I don't know who I would put there probably the Jazz but their young talent could actually make a decent jump this year.

Nuggets are talented they SHOULD be a .500 team if they are reasonably healthy.

I'm surprised they were brutally truthful and put the Lakers at 30 wins. Kings could be worse this coming year. They let Thomas walk for nothing and Gay is on the team for an entire year which means they will be worse. LOL I have no clue what that team is trying to do. Why did they give Collison 5 million a year and let Thomas go for 7 million a year? Mind boggling.

Utah and LAL will be worse. Kobe is done (he might score per usual, but he won't be able to do much else). Utah is still really young with their best player being Haywood who is good, but not good enough to lead a team to a good record. I think we end up 3rd worst. Cousins is way better than anyone on our team and Gay is a solid vet who's just overpaid. Denver also just has too many solid vets to be worse than us. AA, Danilo, Lawson, Faried and McGee is a decent starting 5. I would expect them to be a .500 team.

Well Kevin Love had a 21 Estimated Wins Added so it seems logical that they would be around the 26 Wins predicted. I'm pretty optimistic that these rookies can and will make and early impact but it will all be about closing out games which we couldn't do last year. If Flip can get a line up that can close games I dont see us equaling last years win total but hopefully we wont see that much of a drop.
