Just wondering - what might happen if the Jazz try to shut Lauri down but he doesn’t want to? I imagine he’s an All-NBA contender, which could make a huge financial difference to him, right? Couldn’t that possibly make him eligible for a supermax?

I haven’t actually looked at a list so I’m sure you’re probably right, but it just didn’t seem crazy to me that he was a top 6 forward this year.

“A team this catastrophic should not exist.” The owner is a complete jerk and deserves this, though I feel bad for the Houston fans.

Count me among those skeptical Warriors fans, but if “Kevin Durant is title contention personified,” what does that make Stephen Curry?

Philadelphia is a tier one contender. Wasn’t a lot of the distrust washed away with Simmons? Yes Doc haters are everywhere but Embiid is the dominating force and I trust him throughly (after bashing him for several early years screaming “I’ve seen it before, He’ll never be healthy!”) I even strangely trust this James Harden

And I’d swap Celtics and Bucks. Milwaukee is the #1 title contender, Boston close behind
