I thought I would start a thread and get everyone's guesses on the season:

1. Who wins it all
2. Bottom 4 in the West
3. League ROY
4. Timberwolves MVP
5. Timberwolves ROY
6. Timberwolves Best Aquisition
7. Timberwolves most improved
8. Will Saunders be fired midseason yes/no

1. Phili wins it all - I think they are the most balanced team if they can hide Simmons shooting and Embid does not get hurt
2. Pho, NO, MN, Sac are the bottom 4 - with the Lakers being surprisingly not the champs as everyone has crowned
3. White in Chicago will win ROY, our guy will be 2nd or 3rd
4. Towns will be the T-MVP
5. Culver
6. Layman with Napier a really close 2nd
7. Layman
8. No, but at the end of the season he is let go

Bonus - I think Wiggins is not starting well before the 1/2 way mark - and the team improves because of it

Ryan Saunders will be Minnesota's head coach until Glen Taylor sells the team or dies, whichever comes first. That does not mean Saunders will deserve to retain his job nor does he have my stamp of approval.

2] Bottom 4 in the West... Wolves, Grizzlies, Suns, ... and then OKC after they do a fire sale.
3. League ROY... Morant.
4. Timberwolves MVP... Towns or Dieng. Haven't decided who's better yet.
5. Timberwolves ROY... Culver... or the team has bigger problems than we thought
6. Timberwolves Best Aquisition... I think Layman and Napier will have moments
7. Timberwolves most improved... If it's anybody other than Wiggins, 50 or more losses is likely
8. Will Saunders be fired midseason yes/no...No. No real upside there. He'll get a chance to finish it out, out of respect if nothing else. No guarantees he's back in 2020 though.

I've never been one to follow the entire NBA, and I'm even less inclined these past few years. Go Wolves, or something.
