The Knicks will be better in 2016-17. Rose was among the NBA’s worst high-usage players for most of last season, but he showed flashes of offensive adequacy down the stretch. If Joakim Noah is healthy at age 31, he can help at least approximate some of the triple post offense hopes that Knick president Phil Jackson still has for the club. Addition Brandon Jennings might seem like the worst possible point guard for the triangle, but he turned in an overlooked season last year and is hoping for yet another fresh start in New York. And coach Jeff Hornacek will count as a massive upgrade over the work of Kurt Rambis.

I would give washington a better chance but allegedly John Wall and Bradley
beal hate each other and that's no good for both players playing together in
the backcourt.

At least when Kobe and shaq had issues one was a center and one was a guard.
Gotta be tough with both on the floor so much basically doing the same job as
guards.
How did you know that they hate each other, I think the real issue here is the injury they suffered, last season Beal was not able to play more games because of the recurring injuries, and so did john wall. They are both a treat in the floor but only when they can stay healthy for the whole season.
There are news that came out saying that John Wall and Bradley Beal tend to dislike each other on the court. Maybe because they have not played together long enough. Once one of them gets healthy enough, the other gets hurt. That can be frustrating for a franchise that's just making themselves relevant again.

I think Marcus Morris will put in a lot of work for the wizards. It's true they have high expectations since they have some big-money players, such as Beal and Wall, so the pressure will certainly be on. I think the core of Morris, Wall, and Beal could be enough to solidify a playoff spot, maybe a 6-7th seed in the playoffs. I'd call it a successful season if the wizards can win one playoff series.
I think it is Markieff you are talking about. The other Morris (Marcus) is currently with Detroit. I am not sure if that trio would be enough to carry them to the playoffs, even if you add Marcin Gortat to that. Even if they can stay healthy, a lot of other teams in the East are hungry for a postseason run. Detroit, Milwaukee, Indiana, New York are among the teams I am expecting to make the playoffs this season. Boston and Atlanta are still solid while the Cavs and Raptors are still among the top teams in the East. Makes me wonder where the Wizards are going to find themselves by April.
I think I will be seeing another rematch for the Raptors and Cavaliers in the east finals, raptors have experienced already and they have proven that they can compete with the cavaliers, I am excited to see them play again and maybe we will be seeing a series that will go to game 7, who knows if raptors will upset the cavaliers.
personally if only wade play the way he should heat would be the best opponent of cavs from the east last season it is much better seeing them no offense with the raptors but heat have a good chance to compete with cavs.

If John Wall will stay healthy throughout the season they have a chance to be in the playoffs but I am not really confident because their best offensive players Wall and Beal is having a problem dealing with injuries while the bench of the wizards are not that solid to fill the position of the their star players.

With all the player upgrades that teams are doing, it seems that the Washington Wizards are being left behind. From an article that I read, the Washington Wizards have a lot on the line this upcoming season. They need to move past a negative 2015-16 and have a positive and eventful 2016-17. In simple terms: They can't afford another bad season.

But the problem with them is they didn't to a lot of additions to make them better than last season. They lost Jared Dudley and Nene on free agency and John Wall's health is a big concern too.
It is really a big problem where your star player is not having a good health, I do not think they can enter into playoffs this season with the same line up. Other teams are already upgrading while they are not, John wall needs someone who can help him in defense.
that's the big problem for sure if the team didn't do any changes or didn't acquire any big addition to their line they won't survive this coming season since that those big teams already did some trade and acquire more to play big.

I'm sticking with the Cleveland getting the championship.
I saw their hearts for winning the last. For me, it doesn't matter even if GS has powerhouse team, what matters most is the eagerness to win just like what Cleveland has shown in the last season.

Hey dude, would the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers even make the playoffs without Lebron?

For me honestly. No. I just don't see it. Kyrie Irving is one of the most talented players in the league.
But he had some bad habits before LeBron James was able to teach him how to win.

Does this even matter? with or without james at all it seems cleveland is a clear favourites for the eastern conference. Im not sure if there will be other team that could beat them at this point however clearly from the odds given in almost any sportsbook shows that they are top candidates to win it

Yes of course! Remember that last 2013-2014 NBA Season the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't make the NBA Playoffs.

They started playoffs when Lebron James came back. So Lebron James is fucking team carrier. 

Well, obviously. He earned our respect by carrying 2 teams in the last 6 years. So, kudos to that guy.

yeah even if James takes the regular season off and only plays the playoffs Cavs
would still win the weak arse East.  Knicks did some improving but it was with all
old guys and Boston and the hawks are decent but hardly a challenge.
Stars in the east are mostly coming from a big injury like rose and george so it will be hard for them to beat the king who stays healthy so far and was gifted with a great talent. Not to mention only wade can compete with Lebron but with the rebuilding team it will not be easy.

Well agreed because the last east playoffs cavaliers dominated it. But during regular seasons they had coaching problems. Lebron is an all around player (not in comparison to goat) in this era and whats shocking is he does not have great issue on injuries he had injuries but a major news. so i guess the thing that would destroy him is an injury.

raptors and hawks will be possible but didn't see movements with their line up hope they will improve more,
lets wait until the season start and see possible team to compete with cavs from the east.

wow i guest placing your bet with san antonio is a cool idea now its a huge odd and if getting lucky you will going to win big, besides they are also a crowd favorite, cav have good odd too..

The odds are fair enough. We may have a surprise in Indiana Pacers. This team actually really improve this season. I can see that they can contend on the championship. I'll just wait for the Cavs and Pacers game and I will bet for the Pacers.
well indiana yes they are a improving team but competing with cavs would be hard for them since cavs will aim for more championship crown and adding the bird man to help their inside game would be a big addition for helping thompson and love inside while you have irving and james outside.

Well I will just take the risk. In my view, I can see that they can compete with the cavaliers. This is a gamble, I'm sure that they can find a way to get a win to the cavs.
