The correct answer is that there are no superteams in the NBA at this moment.
How do you see the Clippers deal with a frontcourt of LeBron, AD, Wood, Vanderbilt, Rui, etc. Or Jokic, Gordon, MPJ, etc. Or even reliably guard Booker, Durant, Beal or Steph & the warriors.
Their PF depth is non existent rn, they might have to start old ass PJ tucker against big West Forwards. And the guard rotation of Westbrook, Harden, Mann, Hyland doesn't give you much confidence about their POA defence either.
If healthy, they will score a lot of points, be top 3 offensively, and top 10-12 defensively in the regular season. But once playoff starts, I expect Denver or Lakers to beat them comfortably. (Really I expect Denver to beat everyone comfortably this year, but I will give a shot to Milwaukee if they can figure their shit out).
There are no superteams, just a bunch of really good teams fighting for 1 championship ring that already feels like Denver has one hand on.
What about the suns? They have 2 superstars and an all star caliber player.
