good prediction imo

 

Think people are way too low on the Pelicans in general, they were playing great after the CJ trade and healthy Zion is the best addition any team had this year, even if he's not healthy for long.

 

Pelicans are definitely a high ceiling team, and probably the one whose placement was the most difficult imo. I probably ranked them near their floor, I think play in squad is definitely in their range of outcomes

 

i think questioning the chemistry between Zion and Ingram - especially after seeing how disengaged Ingram was with Zion and how fire he was afterwards - is fair.

 

didn't KOC say he thinks pelicans can get to the finals this year on yesterdays pod or something like that

 

Yes. There’s also been quite a bit of people saying they think Zion could win MVP

 

I threw $100 down on Zion MVP at like +4000

 

I put a bit on a few guys (him included)

If the Pels end up being super good and a top three/four team and he’s averaging 27/8 and shooting how he did 2 years ago - it’s definitely possible

 

That would be great news for my fantasy team, but even their peak this year the Finals seems like a lot. Think they're more likely to be in the middle of the playoff race than the play-in tho.

 

oh well if KOC said it

 

the NBA is going to be dying to give zion an MVP in the next 2-3 years so, its not a bad bet

 

Warms the heart to see

 

This should be the best Sixers bench squad in a long time.

 

The nets are gonna be good - top 4 seed

 

Khris get healthy soon

 

let russ cook

 

You said the Kings will be better than the Wolves. An insane take

 

Wolves depth is looking fantastic right now

 

The trade that left the NBA stunned, skeptical: Why the Wolves went all-in with Rudy Gobert

 

Wolves getting that banner ready

 

y’all getting hurt by karl anthony towns again. shameful.
