Every year we hear of young teams on the rise that will break through to the playoffs or newly formed super teams that go from pre-tenders to championship favourites, but what about the other end of the spectrum? Which teams do y’all think will have disappointing seasons or crash out of the playoffs all together and why you do think they will?

      Neither. It may work cause CP is a professional but I don’t see them being better off for it. He’s a bench piece for this team. Klay can’t guard 3’s he can barely guard 2’s anymore.

      Mind you Poole was becoming such a detriment maybe it’s simply addition by subtraction

      Ignoring my obvious bias, I think there’s a few aspects of CP3 that are going unrecognized. Everyone is worried about him starting or not but regardless the 5 man lineup where it’s the main 4 plus CP3 won’t get a lot of minutes. Even the original “death” lineup only got around 10-12 mpg together. What CP3 brings more than anything is hopefully some stability when Steph isn’t on the floor and allows Steph and Draymond to match minutes more (which is absolutely huge if that ends up being the case), and allows for overall more lineup flexibility since now they have another playmaker that they didn’t have last year.

      Except you forget we have the biggest international star on our team, so the nba will give us the laker treatment this year and give us a bottom playoff spot regardless, even if our roster doesn’t deserve it
