SAC listed twice - - 31.5 and 23.5.  Huerter will lift them above the bottom, I believe.  

  Oops.  23.5 is Spurs!

I'm glad that they don't see us coming. 

It's interesting.. no thought of LAL, NYK, or BKY

Sactown is dangerous. 

Fox, Monk, Kev, Barnes, and Sabonis.. with Murray off the bench (to start)....That's an interesting group...

Bro ...... it's Sacramento. Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me for 15+ years in a row .....

Sacramento is going to surprise a lot of people. Fox, Mitchell, Murray, Barnes, Sabonis, Huerter, Monk, Holmes, is a good rotation and a very good starting 5

Hawks having a 42 win floor for me and still keep their 60 win ceiling. Their issue last year was their floor (35 wins)

By what metric? Was this before the season started when we brought back everyone coming off the ECFs?

oh boy . I’m not doing the avatar bet. I just remembered who their leader and commander in charge was… Mike Brown. Ok, that guy is the WORST. Free ride with GS, Cavs… I don’t care what they say around the league he stinks.

 @Gray Mule We (I) didn’t factor in the head coach. Don’t look at his resume gramps, take my word, he’s awful. 
 

If they had almost anyone else at the helm, I’d make the avatar bet.

[sturt]

Just realized... evidently they're not taking bets on the Nets. Makes sense.

Sounds about right to me. I give the Hawks a floor of 40, a ceiling of 50. Hope I’m really underestimating them though.

I’ll make my prediction when I’m good and ready. Lol. Nov. 1

Agreed.  But, as a preview, my metric tells me the Hawks have a 50-win floor tho.

Burd and I always come up within 1.5 wins in our predictions. This time we need to each separately send our win total predictions to you before posting it. 
 

50 flo? Oh baby, you like this playmaking backcourt tandem as much as @RedDawg#8 too huh.

Ya me three.. or four.. 

2019 draft prospects looking worse and worse.

CCCK 

Cam- Oh boy

Culver- Oh golly

Clarke- good  

Kabengele- TB… oh boy  
 

If I’m a GM I get canned like tuna here.

2018 
 

L****

Mikal Bridges- Solid

Bagley- getting there

Bamba- slowly but sure..slowly

 

2017

Josh Jackson

Justin Jackson

 

Ok my track record blows… 

I will say in 2009 my number one prospect was a skinny lil kid from Davidson, no joke, literally my #1, followed by Tyrese Evans.

 

 

This goes back to 1990… I found a scrap book wow. Chris Jackson and Bo Kimble. I remember wanting us to land Kimble sooooo bad. I got caught up in the left handed free throws and the Gathers story maybe. He was a solid guard though no doubt.

Here's a question for the Gallery.. Put your brain cells together and tell me...

Where do you see BKL if they keep their big three and everybody plays from day 1?

Are they the best in the East or do they fall back to where they were?
