Did anyone watch the game in Japan? Warriors vs Wizards.

James Wiseman looking pretty good. 20 points in 24 minutes.
The Warriors are looking pretty solid this season with the return of their big man. Then, there's Divicenzo showing some chemistry with the team.
Warriors at #1? What do you guys think?
If they can keep themselves healthy then it might happen.
On why Klay didn't play... here is a statement from Coach Kerr.

Quote

"Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said ahead of the Warriors' 96-87 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp up before he plays in games."

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.

Schroder + Clarkson might be a bad idea to share the same court. One of them should serve as a backup role and not play together.

Clarkson + Westbrook is more effective since they don't share the role.

But this is just a speculation as their chemistry will just be seen once the season started.

That would work if there's a chemistry, before Clarkson get the 6th man of the year award, he was underperforming with the Cleveland Cavaliers, not because he is not good but because of the lack of chemistry, and I'm sure fans are surprised for his impressive performance with the Jazz.

Clarkson was a Lakers player before, he was good but not good enough, because of the chemistry issue and probably the design of plays does not fit him.

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.

I see rumors that he will be traded to the Bulls. It does not make sense if the Jazz will make a move to trade Clarkson for Westbrook since they are rebuilding. He will be a good help to the Bulls though coming from the bench. He was stellar last year in Jazz, and I think he is a good fit for the Bulls as well.

That has been in the news lately but should be a win for Chicago if that's the case, the former SMOTY should contribute on the Bulls roster and it's from JC himself that he's always fine on wherever he goes to. I think Lakers will not get him considering they're having lot of guards now, I think the Bulls is a good landing spot for JC.

I don't know what the Jazz has been thinking for trading away their superstars and key players. I know they have been unsuccessful for the last 3 years, but I think the management made a hasty decision for disposing them too early. They could've built a different set of players to support Gobert, Mitchell, and JC.
The current UTAH Jazz looks like a 20-win team next season.
If the Bulls successful traded for JC, that indeed is a win for the Bulls.

They're just good during the regular season and look how they change ways now, Donovan to Cleveland, Gobert to Wolves. Only Conley and JC still remains as key player with the Utah current roster. I don't think it's only with the management fault at all, personal interests are likely huge factor here. I don't think a 20-win team for Jazz, they can still play as much I see it.

That has been their problem, they are good in the regular season but they struggled in the playoffs. Letting go of Mitchell and Gobert is probably the best thing to do, I guess they are into rebuilding and most likely players like Clarkson and Conley will also not gonna last in this team.

Sometimes management really has to put a dotted line to the current line up because it's not very successful. The thing with the Jazz is that in the regular season they are really that great team and could be in the finals. Unfortunately, even with a strong showing, they can't even go and advance in the 2nd round in the last 2 years even with a prime Mitchell and defensive player of the year. And now they have decided to disband that roster and start a new one. So we might as well expect Clarkson to be traded, if it is with the Bulls then good for them.

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.

Westbrook will not win as the season MVP as no teammates of Lebron have won a season MVP yet, if Westbrook would be effective, for sure he will not generate the outcome he did during his MVP time with OKC. A big improvement is okay because it will make the team better, who knows, he might win a Finals MVP.

Maybe it's just an exaggeration on WB's part to hear him saying or at least speculating that he will be running for MVP this season. He is no longer in his prime and prone to injuries already and besides as others have said, either Lebron James and Anthony Davis is the first and second option offensively not him. There are even talks that he will be coming off the bench, as it might be Pat or Dennis as their starting five and not him. And so he will have limited minutes and so it will cut his contribution and performance so I doubt he will be even considered for the MVP race.

Or at times, it will be Davis, doing low post if they wanted to slow down the tempo a bit as a first option. And then when they are running, Lebron could anchor or even pass to Davis as well or Westbrook.

But I do agree that it will be hard for Westbrook to be running for MVP, he should have crazy numbers, triple double and carrying the team in his shoulders. But it won't happen since Lebron and Davis are the top two options. Might be good for Westbrook to have good numbers though, as we all know that he is a statistics whore.

Yup exactly why they went out and got him. I remember the first (and last) time I ever played fantasy basketball I drafted Goran Dragic, this was like 2012ish , he was actually pretty solid. But that feels like an eternity ago and I just can’t can’t expect much out of the guy. It’s pretty depressing because the Bulls realistically don’t have a chance without a mega-star , and Ball likely won’t change that but we’ll never know until we get him in the lineup.

But they did well last season until the injuries plagued their roster. The first 20 games was awesome and we saw Bulls' games that's almost like an All-Star game with high flying players.
I think what they need is to keep themselves healthy. Just like now, they are missing another important piece to becoming an effective team.
Goran's veteran perspective might also help the young guards, he doesn't need to play much, and guiding them will be a lot of help.

Dragic might be an additional motivation but in terms of rotation Caruso and Ball are both good facilitating
the ball and create plays for the team.

Caruso - Ball combination is so effective too because of their strong defensive line. These two have good footwork and fast hands than can steal the ball anytime they were given the opportunity. I guess that is what we will be missing this season while Lonzo is out.

Yeah, I've heard that news as well. They will be missing the service of Ball due to injury.

It might be one of the reason why they will bring Dragic to give Caruso some lift rotating the ball, and by the way Drummond
signed a 2 year deal with the Bulls, additional inside force to support Vucevic, looks like they are really trying to improve more
giving additional role two-way players to help both Lavine and DeRozan.

You can say I really don't like Russell Westbrook at all because of what I am about to say, I doubt he can bounce back or change his attitude on what the team needed the most for him to be, I really think he was stuck in this situations and still wants to prove his worth but he is playing in a team that has an extremely good super start that can score a lot, so the team will surely need a defensive player but he is surely not buying it, if he is stubborn enough to notice something like that then next year he will need to retire whether he likes it or not,

We can not compare him to Carmelo Anthony that switches his plays to offensive now in defense, while Westbrook doesn't really care about defense at all, Well, Melo from time to time shoots the ball when he is free to do it, but his purpose now is dual to the team he can be trusted with both offense and defense,

NBA Preseason is starting today and it will be the Washington Wizards VS Golden State Warriors well, this preseason I don't surely think the Warriors will let their main players play I think both teams will just play with their bench warmers, still watching it but for me, it is crucial to bet on this,

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.

They don't have any option if the management will trade them then they just need to go with the flow, it will be good
for Clarkson to stay as he is familiar with the system.

But like what happened with the other stars, if the management trade them then they will go and play with the team.

If ever Jazz let Clarkson to stay, he might gain more minutes of playing time, together with the new young cores for
this upcoming season they will try to win games.

True, they have like build a winning streak prior to DeRozan getting injured. And then they still make it before Lavine turn to be sideline. So it was really a combination of injuries and bad luck that really relegated their standings to the bottom half of the Eastern Conference.

Yeah, you remember that completely. Nice. Mine is almost blurred as I stopped following their team when injuries hit them. The energy was gone and the hype calmed down about the Bulls and slowly they are going farther down the rankings.
They still end up getting the 6th place which is safe from the play-in tournament. I think it's still a good ending for them, it gives hope to Bulls fans.

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. But I do agree that it seems the Lakers are pretty much stack up with Westbrook still at the help.

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.

It seems that way for the Lakers. Clarkson-Westbrook should have happened already if both teams were really interested. I'm thinking the Lakers wanted more than what the Jazz is willing to give up for an older player.

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.

WB becoming an MVP means he'll be the floor general. I don't think that's happening while LBJ is there but it's a good that thing he's aiming for it. Downside is that their egos may clash on the court.

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.
