Mvp is crazy talk for Westbrook, with Luka, giannis, taytum, ja, jokic, etc etc but I do think he will have a bounce back year. He is crafty he will figure it out. Last year was pretty much the worst of it. He is ultra competitive let's see what kind of summer he had training. I'd like to see him bounce back. NBA is always better when teams like the Lakers are competitive.

Aside from the competition, he is not the first option on his team as well. It is hard to stack stats if you are not the first option. He is the third option at best. He can have a bounce-back year but aiming for an MVP is just too much for him to achieve. He is not the prime Westbrook that we used to know.

Lebron still be their number one option and second is Davis so its hard for him to snatch the MVP this season since the ball rotation of lakers is not focus on him. Maybe if he can provide solid numbers to purple and gold plus he will be consistent on number of games played the phase will change then their management will decide to make him a number two option for them. So Westbrook really need to work hard this upcoming season since he have need to prove his worth for second time.

That is a big challenge to Davis and Westbrook if they are truly aiming for the MVP award because LeBron is also there and he's expected to be in the top spot when it comes to the race for the MVP especially this season that he's looking forward to break another record and beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the all-time scoring list. Other than that, they should aim reach further than what they reached last season because they can't write another history if they will just end up in the regular season again.

Why would they get Westbrook? Cheesy

Just like you said, they are on a rebuilding process and surely they wouldn't get a veteran player who is not on his prime years anymore. It's much better for the Jazz if they bet on the younger ones rather than the veterans, and if they get some veterans, that should be reliable enough to lead the team. Rumors are saying that Jordan Clarkson might receive an extension rather than a trade.

I guess if the Lakers offered Westbrook and a lot of draft picks, the Jazz would probably take him. It would be an attractive deal for both teams. Besides, as mentioned earlier, the Jazz management is rebuilding the roster anyway, and they obviously don't care much about where they finish in the upcoming regular season. So Westbrook, who has only 1 season left on his contract, wouldn't ruin anything for the Jazz because the Jazz would be outsiders either way.

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.

The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high.

He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still
around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team
they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown.

After reaching the NBA Finals, we are expecting that they will start stronger this season but I'm afraid that is not the case for them this season because as we know, the Boston Celtics now are so fed up with many incidents that have happened lately. Not just in the coaching staff but including the players as well that played a vital role last season.

Danilo Gallinaro - Injured (expected to miss the whole season)
Robert Williams III - Injured (expected to miss the first two months of the season)
Ime Udoka - Suspended for the whole season

I get it that Boston has had an up and down offseason especially lately but I don't think it effects them that much. Danilo was t even on the finals team last year so he would have given them a boost but they made it there without them. Robert Williams has pretty much always been hurt and been in and out of the lineup so long as he can get back after the new year they will be fine especially with the pickup of Griffen lately. And yeah the coach got it. We don't know what we don't know, the coaching staff might end up being better off without him time will tell.

I’m not a fan that much of Blake Griffin anymore but having him in the roster will surely give a boost especially during clutch time since Boston trio usually play so long that makes them exhausted during the last quarter of the game. Griffin experience might help them to win on late quarters which is there known weakness on there fight against GSW.

I’m sure that they will be alright on regular season even with known missing coach and players since there key players is still available to play.

On the contrary, I think the Jordan Clarkson will get traded the soonest and I was hoping that he will go the Lakers again and play with Bron.

I don't care which team but I would love to see Jordan Clarkson traded to any teams that are capable of reaching the playoffs. I don't want him to stay in a rebuilding team and waste his prime years.

Clarkson with the Lakers will be good for the team and his career too. He can be a perfect alternative when Bron and AD take their rest. He can even play in the first five to confuse the opposing team's defense. Schroder, Clarkson, Bron, and AD together in the court would be offensively deadly.

True, Clarkson's talent will be wasted if he will still remain and play for the Utah Jazz or to guide the younger ones, He's just not suitable for it. There's a rumor that Bucks and Grizzlies are interested to get him but up until now there's no news on the nearest possibility, he will be so useful if he can play for Bucks or Grizzlies. But for Lakers? They are already stacked especially in point guards and I don't see that the Lakers has something to give for the Jazz in-exchange for Clarkson. I'm sure that the Lakers aren't ready to give up their future picks for the time being.

I think he'd be wasted on Memphis, they are loaded right now. He would absolutely be perfect out on the Bucks. He can play his 6th man role and would be complimentary to what they are doing out there. The issue would be what the Bucks would have to give up for Clarkson.

Yes, the Bucks would be a good team for Clarkson and taking his talents there won't be a waste as he can be useful whether if he'll play for the starting five or from the bench. I mean, he already proved it plenty times already that's why the Bucks now is very eager to get Clarkson, but the problem is that the Jazz is not interested in carrying George Hill's contract and it's not yet sure if the Bucks can find a 3rd team to get involved.

.....

Any news on Jordan Clarkson though? I thought he is on the trading block after the Jazzz let go of Mitchell and they are rebuilding from ground up.

I only read about the interest from the Bucks and the potential return to the Lakers but I really have no idea to be honest. Maybe the Jazz will just offer him an extension so they could still have someone that will help them to compete and not plunge to the bottom of the table.

I think the Lakers are pretty full at the PG position and seem to be sticking with Westbrook. I was under the impression that Clarkson would have been the piece in any deal to get the Lakers picks and take Russ’ contract. Russell said today that he wants to go for the MVP this year, so maybe he’s feeling better this year… I’m not so sure MVP is in the cards for him ever again.

Yes, but I guess the Jazz is not interested on Russ contract. Hopefully Clarkson remain as a Jazz, but as I have said, the rebuilding process has started and so those Jazz players will have to go including Conley, in which there is also noise that Lakers is interested until they got Pat and then Dennis, and Bognadovic. Hopefully it will be a win win for those remaining Jazz players.

Why would they get Westbrook? Cheesy

I really think James Harden will do anything, to get a shot at the finals, and the cutting of salary is 1 proof of it but does he still play the same or he is completely different now, but judging from what he did, I think he is surely feeling it now, so he needs to do everything to his power for him to get to close to the rings, apparently I really think his age has gotten him good,

He's done almost everything but I think that's not all that he can do. It's true that he's really taking a shot for the finals and that's why anything that he can sacrifice, he'll do it.
He wants to do it in his own way by pushing himself to the top, he's getting older and that's one of the achievements that he wants to have. Unlike some other players, they've got a reliable teammates and that's what he's lacking of.

The Lakers reported that they are still open to trade their future first round picks but they want long term returns. We are referring to their 2027 and 2029 future first round draft picks. The Lakers are giving a sign that they want a young high potential player that can carry the team when Bron and Davis are gone or old. No wonder all their previous talks to unload Russ and acquire any players from Kyrie, Clarkson, Hield, Turner and Bogdanovich ended in failures.

Does the Lakers 2027, 2029 first round drafts and Russ' $47 million payrate enough to acquire a young star potential like Mitchell?

Well that's why they are future picks, because we don't know if they are going to be a great player in the NBA. But it's risk that any team are willing to take though or maybe they have scouting teams as well looking for the next prospect in high school that will be the potential picks. So we will see, Russ is still a big problem in their shoulder right now, but they can't do anything about that huge contract and they might be willing to let Russ play this season.

He is not a big problem if the coach knows how to handle his players. Westbrook has been proven a superstar, he won an MVP award and was once a triple-double machine, and I don't think he already pass his prime, so let's give him a chance.

He has this one whole season to prove that he is worthy to stay with the Lakers. He wasn't really the main problem, otherwise, he was already traded, the problem was the coaching style, that's why the new coach came in to make his own experiment, if he still fails, then we might see Westbrook getting traded and the new coach will be hired again.

How can you say that the coach himself is not impressed with Wiseman performance? Of course we consider Wiseman as a rookie because he haven't played that much game as a pro, but he seems to be talented and many basketball analyst says that the Warriors is hard to defeat once he is inserted into the pictures.

He will be utilized for sure, and Draymond wanted to see this kid developed into their one of their future stars.

James Wiseman didn't play last season so he is doing his best to likely catch up to every dude in the Warriors that got Elevated in his absence, and this 7 ft guy just slapped the Wizards hard on Preseason, I know the Preseason wasn't really that important, but upon playing James Wiseman just posterized Kristaps Porziņģi over a nasty dunk, this goes to show that he is really back from that knee injury last season, it was surely a juicy win for the Golden State Warriors but it wasn't really an important game, and both teams will not show their 100% on every Preseason game,

In the end it still depends on the health of the team, 76ers is a legitimate championship contender, but if Embiid will get injured in the playoffs, that will kill their hope of winning the championship. I know Harden is a superstar, however, he has not proven himself yet in 76ers uniform, I mean, his performance during the last playoffs was way below his average when he was still playing with the Houston Rockets.

Do you think it's the chemistry is the problem? or Harden had really depreciate already?

First preseason game is in the books. The warriors beat the wizards in spite of the warriors starting 5 shooting 7 for 34. The bright spot was Wiseman who got 20 points on 8 for 11 shooting. Kerr keeps saying Wiseman isn’t ready and won’t get a lot of minutes this year but I’m hoping that isn’t the case. If the Warriors can get him minutes they’ll be pretty hard to stop with a legit center. He looks ready to me.

Just pre-season though, so perhaps everyone was rusty on the side of the Warriors.

I do agree that it's time for us to see how Wiseman is, highly touted prospect but got injured. So if he is 100% already, then Kerr should not put him in restricted minutes and give him like 20 minutes per game. I guess the Warriors are used to have Looney in the middle. But for sure Wiseman could offer more and help them out this season.

Kerr not impressed with Wiseman performance but he can still use him in games after all he's one brilliant player in the team and not having him present during game might make Wiseman lose form. Wiseman is underrated in the team because of the present of Looney and some other keyplayers in the team, Kerr should not understimate him and use him when necessary. Talking about 20 minutes per game, that will do currently rather than keeping him on the bench.

Kerr is well known as good player developer and also know how they can use each of his player so most provably there's no downplaying of his talent happening but for sure he is scouting if Wiseman will be good as their starting line up or they used looney which is more safer to be their starting 5. If Wiseman still cannot prove or give quality number to his minutes given maybe we can see him coming from bench but its undeniable that this kid have bright future.

Right now, I think the 76ers are the better team to win right now in the East. I believe that Harden, Embiid and Maxey will be a good trio and add Tucker who is a great role player and defender. I also have doubts with the Nets as well. Will the chemistry as a team there after the drama that Kyrie and KD did? Will Simmons play the whole season and is there any changes in his playstyle? Let's just see during the regular season but I'm predicting the 76ers to win the East. Too early Cheesy

.

I have different rankings when it comes to the East. Yes, the 76ers are a strong team now but I think the Miami Heat will be hungry again.
They've seen their weaknesses last season so now they know how to strengthen them. Plus, they are a young team with so much talent on their roster.
So it's either Heat or 76ers on the top and next to them are Celtics, Bucks, and Nets fighting for the 3rd.
But that's only for the season, the difference will be seen in the playoffs as the Heat are shaky when that event comes.

I think the 76ers, Bucks, & Nets all have better teams, but with Nash being strict on the old guys maybe the Celtics are the only place willing to take the old ring chasers. Hope Blake has a good season. Last year was a bit embarrassing.

Young and talented players plus a player who isn't in his post-prime years yet (he is only 33 years old) and with Gallinari getting injured, I guess the Celtics found a replacement in Griffin.

With Coach Udoka out this season, many have doubts with the Celtics already. Will they repeat their previous run? Will they repeat what they did last season, but now with a different head coach. Questions that will be answered during the Regular season.

I do agree that it's time for us to see how Wiseman is, highly touted prospect but got injured. So if he is 100% already, then Kerr should not put him in restricted minutes and give him like 20 minutes per game. I guess the Warriors are used to have Looney in the middle. But for sure Wiseman could offer more and help them out this season.

Kerr not impressed with Wiseman performance but he can still use him in games after all he's one brilliant player in the team and not having him present during game might make Wiseman lose form. Wiseman is underrated in the team because of the present of Looney and some other keyplayers in the team, Kerr should not understimate him and use him when necessary. Talking about 20 minutes per game, that will do currently rather than keeping him on the bench.

First preseason game is in the books. The warriors beat the wizards in spite of the warriors starting 5 shooting 7 for 34. The bright spot was Wiseman who got 20 points on 8 for 11 shooting. Kerr keeps saying Wiseman isn’t ready and won’t get a lot of minutes this year but I’m hoping that isn’t the case. If the Warriors can get him minutes they’ll be pretty hard to stop with a legit center. He looks ready to me.

Many are surely not giving way attention to the Preseason because for sure the teams will not perform in their 100% form now Wiseman has shown his power under the ring, while Kyle Kuzma is really firing up and maybe introducing himself this season, but surely I am more excited when the regular season starts but the preseason could be an appetizer for the hungry fans to see their favorite players in action, and not going to bet on the Preseason because we will get inconsistent results,

No not really rusty but they are giving more opportunities for other players to show what they can really do, and James Wiseman is just best to oblige, and on the Wizard's side Rui Hachimura's mid-range jumper is something to look for, and just like I have said you can not really care much on what will be the result for the match on Preseason because you can not get a consistent performance for the players, while Jame Wiseman have gotten 20 points in the regular season he might get 29 - 30 average points, but on the next preseason, I will not be surprised if the Wizard would win I either, and will save my bet for the regular season instead,
