The funniest timeline is if it’s true that load management straight up doesn’t work and we were pointlessly holding players out for years. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle though, NBA has a vested interest in reducing load management

Top-16 protected FRP from the Hornets

Yes I would

Both good but I’ll take the Magic. Banchero and Wagner in particular have tons of potential

I seriously doubt Oubre would lie, but the funniest timeline is Kelly Oubre becomes the Jussie Smollett of vehicular assault

Ya’ll joke but just wait until he ramps up 😤

no

The Rockets will definitely be better than last year but I think you can say that about a lot of WC teams.

I think it’s fair to say they will be better than the Trailblazers and probably the Spurs and Jazz but they’re both good. Past that you’re looking at surpassing the Mavericks, Pelicans, Timberwolves, Thunder which is really tough.

I’d guess the Rockets logical ceiling this year is the 9 seed maybe? But honestly that isn’t half bad given the WC this year

I assumed Spurs were going to be bottom 2 this year but they might be a play-in team honestly

This is a narrative based league and I guarantee you if Poole balls out this season people will say “empty stats”, “he isn’t a winning player”, “this wouldn’t work next to Steph”, etc.

Some of those are more legitimate than others, but I hope Poole succeeds and proves people wrong

Yes. In every NBA contract it says, “The Team may terminate this Contract upon written notice to the Player if the Player shall at any time, fail, refuse, or neglect to conform his personal conduct to standards of good citizenship, good moral character (defined here to mean not engaging in acts of moral turpitude, whether or not such acts would constitute a crime), and good sportsmanship, to keep himself in first class physical condition, or to obey the Team’s training rules.”

However this rarely happens and is probably much more difficult than it seems.
