Trade just happened
Rockets trade prigioni Johnson Dorsey kostas (whatever his name is) and a protected first
Nuggets trade Ty Lawson
Great trade for rockets

Their team is really good now. They needed a ballhandler who can score to help Harden out. Lawson averaged 15 ppg & 9.5 apg last year. They have a really good bench too. The Warriors will have a difficult time this year. SAS, HOU, & LAC all got better.
Rockets Lineup:
PG: Lawson/Beverley
SG: Harden/Brewer/McDaniels
SF: Ariza/Dekker
PF: Motiejunas/Jones/Harrell
C: Howard/Capela

Do you think they are better than the clippers and the thunder? I still give the edge to clippers and thunder
20 Jul 2015 14:51:17
Rockets also get a 2nd round pick in 2017
20 Jul 2015 17:27:09
Ty Lawson has serious attitude problems and is short as heck. I don't think rockets improved much in this deal. Ty is a backup.

Pick is lottery protected also

In a 7-game series, given no injuries, I think the Rockets are better than the Clippers & the Thunder. We'll see if the Clippers respond this year to almost losing Jordan. That may have been a what they needed to come together. But DeAndre still can't shoot free throws meaning he's got to come out in close meaningful games in the last half of the 4th quarter.
The Rockets have Beverley back (great defender) & Motiejunas back. As long as everyone stays healthy, it will be another 7 game series I think.
The Thunder I think fall just out of the top 4 to #5.
Here's who I got:
1. GSW (by default, same returning team minus D Lee)
2. SAS
3. HOU
4. LAC
5. MEM
6. OKC (not sure about Durant's foot)
7. NOP
8. UTA
Top 5 teams will be very close again I think, anyone of them could slide up or down with a couple big wins.
20 Jul 2015 23:58:53
I got
1 Spurs
2 warriors
3 clippers
4 thunder
5 rockets (depends on Howard health)
6 grizzles
7 Pelicans
8 suns mavs uta (three team race)
I think the top are locked in 3-6 not so sure

^ Kings over Jazz maybe.
21 Jul 2015 15:19:18
In the east
1 cavs
2 heat
3 bulls (if drose healthy)
4 raptors
5 bucks
6 wizards
7celtics
8 Knicks
21 Jul 2015 15:51:51
No chance the Knicks get #8!
I got:
1. CLE
2. MIA
3. CHI
4. WASH
5. ATL
6. TOR
7. BOS
8. DET
21 Jul 2015 17:38:59
Oh I forgot the Hawks take #4. Knock the Knicks out. Don't think wash will be four seed
21 Jul 2015 17:39:20
You forgot about Milwaukee
21 Jul 2015 19:37:21
I did, knock DET out, MIL at #7, BOS #8.
21 Jul 2015 23:37:02
Milwaukee will improve better than the Wizards in my opinion considering beals health
23 Jul 2015 14:54:05
Detroit is a better team then you give them credit for and a better team then the one that almost made the playoffs. I think detroit can get at least the 8th spot it depends on all of the new pieces playing at their career levels and Drummond, Jackson and KCP all take steps forward not big ones just steps forward.
