A look at the West.

[Diesel]

After we made our moves... I had a chance to really look over the team in SacTown.  After strong consideration... I think they could be a playoff bound team?!??!!!

Fox, Halliburton, Hield, Barnes, Bagley III

This quintet has nice possibilities. 

They have some backups:  Bjelica, Parker, Giles and Joseph.

A lot is riding on what they can get from Barnes and Bagley and if they can stay healthy. 

However, talentwise and with Luke Coaching... I wonder how far these guys can go.  My mind says 8th seed. 

They finished last season 4 games out of the 8th Spot.   Other teams haven't gotten a lot better... some above them are worse for wear. 

I expect the Thunder and the Jazz to fall out of the playoff picture.  This gives the kings a shot if Halliburton can play and if Barnes brings something to the table.
