***OFFICIAL 2026-27 WINS PREDICTION THREAD + PLAYOFFS PREDICTION***

[Sundog]

I’m with TAFKASP at 50 wins and I’ll say western conf finals loss

[AussieWolf3]

52 wins, but wins across the league will be more compressed this year, so it'll be more like a 55+ win season of yore.
3rd in the west, but they challenge the Thunder for 2nd.
Unfortunately, however they have another let down in the conference finals --- I can't shake the feeling that Ball isn't ready for playoff basketball or a long run.
Edwards finishes 2nd in MVP voting

47 wins. 6th seed. 2nd round loss. Kuminga and TJ Shannon gone at trade deadline.

[FNG]

47 wins. 6th seed. 2nd round loss. Kuminga and TJ Shannon gone at trade deadline.

Oh, oh...our defending champion with a very negative prediction . Two questions for you, DN: 1) Will the trade deadline moves be a fire sale to bring in draft capital, or trades that attempt to improve us this season, and 2) who do you project to start at PF after we move JK?

1 and 2. The trade will be to upgrade to a higher quality power forward from another team having a fire sale.
