Putting Lakers that high eh? Are we not forgetting that most starters in this team will be playing with each other for the first time? Same case with Clippers but Kahwi and George can easily blend in. Dark horses for next season are Nuggets, Blazers, and maybe Nets.

So you are saying Lebron and Davis will not blend?

Don't forget that Lebron although he failed last season he is still the king Jame we know.
Once they will blend effectively the Lakers might dominate the West, for me Davis and Lebron is a better combo that Kawhi and Paul George or WB and Harden.

Lebron, Davis, Green, Kuzma won't be blending that quickly. You can also throw in Howard to the equation. It's not just about the duo but the whole team that's why I said most starters.

Forget about Harden and Westbrook. They deserve to be last on that list.

Lakers are still a big IF...

If LeBron cooperates with AD.

IF AD stays healthy.

IF the rest of the team knows its place in the system.

IF the role players deliver.

IF Kyle Kuzma makes another step in his career.

Thats a lot "ifs" and not so much axioms. They can win the league and didn't make it to the playoffs again as well. It is indeed a big gamble with this team.

For years, some NBA players lied about their height. They can’t anymore.

What's the implication of this lying about how tall they are? I have never heard of any past and current NBA players getting fined for not disclosing their true height. Besides, I think the teams they are playing against are already familiar with their actual height.

I don't know what will be the downside of this issue but like you, I'm also very curious to know things and its consequences like this. Maybe they are not taking it seriously and they can reason out that it's just a simple mistake that happens usually when inputting information through their database.
Who knows? but if someone who's more technical and has a better thought about this, I'd love to read it.

Kevin Durant is listed as 6-foot-9 but claims he's 6-11, and soon we'll know for sure what number is correct.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/09/27/years-some-nba-players-lied-about-their-height-they-cant-anymore/

Well I don't see any issues with that, we have heard many players as well "faking" their height.

Durant can still be effective whatever his height is, I mean we have seen his grow and evolved as one of the best NBA players.

Doesn't change a bit if a player lied about their height on not, it's how they contribute and how their career goes.

Even he lied about his height but his effectiveness playing whatever designated position he got is not limiting his capabilities. He's playing great and now being acknowledged as one of the faces of this league. KD's stardom is still at his prime, the dedication and dominance from his co-players is being acknowledged.

Height will not interfere if the player is effective doing his job and excelling from the other players around this league.

According to the site, https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2019/7/8/20685074/nba-championship-contenders-2020-ranked

They predict "7 NBA championship contenders, ranked" and the lists are:

1. LA Clippers
2. LA Lakers
3. Golden State Warriors
4. Philadelphia 76ers
5. Milwaukee Bucks
6. Utah Jazz
7. Houston Rockets

Do you agree that nets are not part of this ranking, and Rockets being the last in ranking?

The Nets without KD is not a title contender that maybe the reason why analyst did not put the Nets on the list, Kyrie Irving can't do it alone, we have seen that last season with the Celtics.

ROcket's chance is slim and it depends on how Harden and Westbrook would jell. If the output is positive on the first ten games of the Rockets then that list would change, Rockets would be next to the Lakers IMO.

Make sense not to add Nets because we all know that KD is still out with his injuries.

Maybe the one and two position can interchange, Lakers with Lebron and AD on top.

Milwaukee should be number 4 though in my opinion, they still have the reigning MVP and they could definitely improved a lot this year.

Houston still depends on those two, Westbrook and Harden, if they started to blend early, they could be contenders as well.

Philadelphia 76ers should not be in the list, maybe it's wise to add Blazers as they were also a good team, if they have their center fully healthy this playoffs, they are also a good contender. Nets is not included because although there is a chance that Durant will be healthy again but its the nets shutting him down for the next season.

It's most likely accurate to make clippers the top one to take the championship this coming season since they have Kawhi. But considering this would change one injury took place to key players along this 82 games to be played by each team. So anything can happen as the matches goes by.

Same thing could happen with other teams, but let's not hope for any injuries here, the game would be fun and exciting if all the important players are healthy and playing. We don't want to hear the same scenario like the on the result of Warriors vs Raptors outcome, people would always say that Toronto is just lucky to win because Klay and Durant were injured.

Spurs not rebuilding IMO, they only traded a few players to get DeRozan which is an all star player as well.
If DeRozan would improve this season, Spurs might become a great contender in the West, its good to put some bet on this team as until now its still undervalued.

Demar is that kind of player whom we all know that's good but not that good. Demar played in Toronto for almost a decade and couldn't make it to the league finals. And what Kawhi did? He went to Toronto and win the championship in his first year with Raptors. That's a slight difference between an All-Star-calibre player and a franchise player.

Demar is still a really great player though, but maybe he's not a championship-kind of player.

We cannot make that kind of comparison, there are a lot factors that makes the journey of Torontol easier in the last season.
First, Lebron transferred to the west, 2nd they acquired Gasol, and 3rd they face a GSW's team which are not fully healthy, if Durant and Klay played it would be a different story.

As much as I want to disagree, we can't hide the fact that Nets being a champion next season only have a slim chance.

We have seen Kyrie in a much dominant team last season but their team just got swept by the Bucks last playoffs (I considered it as a sweep although Celtics got the Game 1). Celtics is the favorites to win in the Eastern Conference last season.

Maybe on 2020-21 season, people can put a shot at Nets to win a championship once Durant is 100% healthy and if they did some roster overhaul catching some good role players. But take note that other teams surely will make some move too.

The spurs are rebuilding. Last season was a bit unexpected for me as i still believed they're a decent contender in the west. Give this team a chance to jell and they'll be back in the thick of contention in the west, trust pop yo make sure of that. Curious how Kawhi and PG's arrival in LA pushed the team to be the top contender for the title. It's still anybodys pick if you're rooting for a western team.

I have no real problems with the other six. Remove the Jazz and replace them with the Nuggets. What the heck is the writer of the article thinking when he said the Nuggets were overachievers last season? I like Donovan Mitchel and Mike Conley but the guys from Denver are still superior as a team.

It's quite strange to see the Spurs not getting picked as a contender.

While i agree that Nuggets should have been on the list, i don't agree about Jazz, they deserve the spot as well.This summer they did good job, both Conley and Bogdanovic should complement their main players Mitchell and Gobert nicely, spreading the floor will help them a lot.

Yeah, it is strange not to see Spurs on the list, considering they were the most consistent NBA team in the last 20 years or so.

I don't like Jazz too, they are not consistent, but with conley and Bojan Bogdanovic being in the team now, I think this will be a different Jazz.
They have a good point guard now who brings success on the Memphis with Gasol and Zach Randolph, now he brings his talent to the Jazz which is also a defensive team, I think they really have a shot this coming season.
