I’m not convinced the Spurs or Jazz will try to suck (I’m assuming this means tank). I’d probably move the Grizzlies to deep playoff run. Realistically, that team isn’t making any meaningful run at a title.

Wait why are the Magic trying to suck?

[–] Soul0103@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Same with the Jazz

Cause OP only watches the lakers so just guessed on this whole list lol

Clippers and 76ers would be happy with a conference finals run

[–] crowd79@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

76ers just getting past round 2 would be a successful season lol

At this point I think Clippers fans just want to see a season of PG and Kawhi healthy and see whatever that results in.

We’re not trying to suck this year.

[–] Sn33kykitty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I literally think the only team trying to suck is Washington. Portland and Utah will likely be the bottom of the West but will be competitive. Same with Detroit and Charlotte.

The wizards are in a league of their own imo

Wizards - rebrand the whole team

[–] Final-Luck-4222@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why are Mavericks not trying to win a chip ? Just curious.

[–] ImGonnaChubbBradley@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do you watch any team besides the Lakers? There are so many things wrong with this list.

I bet Wembanyama will get hurt in the next season and the Spurs will be extra cautious like so many other franchises have been with their top rookies in the last years.

I think Spurs go for another tank.
