I don’t think the Kings missing the playoffs last year should be weighed as heavily as it would have in the past. Two seasons ago the Mavs missed the play-in completely and through minor adjustments and better health they made the finals the next season.

Hot take: the Miami Heat are their own worst enemy. Ever since Jimmy got there, they have been relying on defying expectations instead of trying to set expectations for themselves. Despite the success they've had over the past 5 seasons, they still have done very little to nothing with their roster to TRULY become contenders, but most of their fans still wanna complain that their team gets '"disrespected" or "discounted." How are we supposed to believe in them when they give people very little reasons to until their backs are against the wall? At some point, that doesn't work anymore.

The Suns have an owner who has no understanding of modern team-building. You can't load up on stars on max deals, especially not when one of those "stars" (Beal) is not even a top 25 player and is redundant with one of your other stars. If you are going to pay three guys $50 million each, you'd better make sure the complement each other. A trio like Embiid, PG, and Maxey makes SO much more sense, especially when you consider that Maxey is still only on his second contract and costs $35 million. The Sixers also didn't give up all their assets to assemble the trio. That gives them way more flexibility with filling out the rest of the roster. Don't get me wrong. Even with the Sixers, I'm pretty skeptical. I worry about playoff health and Embiid's performance. But on paper, that's the way to build a modern big three. Complementary skillsets. Not just chasing random big names. The Suns owner torpedoed their entire future in a single offseason.

It's doubtful that Dunn and Ighodoro will make the rotation. Re-signing Bol Bol is nice, but he doesn't flip their fortunes. Signing Monte Morris was good, but he's always been a backup more than a starter. Yes, they still have their 3 stars, but they all still play similar styles and have injury concerns. I don't think they'll miss it, either, but I would be cautious.

That is a lie. You're only saying that because he's been in the play-in for the past couple of years. The play-in was created when they went to the bubble, and the Lakers were the top seed in the West at the time. It was created to give the lower seeded teams in the bubble a chance to reach the postseason, hence why you saw teams like the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, and Suns in there. After seeing the success of the play-in, they decided to keep it. Why would they create the play-in for LeBron in the same year that his team was at the top of the conference? Make that make sense.

the lakers were top title contenders and champions before the Westbrook trade. The Suns were contenders sure, but they were losing in 5 in the second round and have also lost Bridges and Ayton from their finals run in separate trades. That combined with the fact that despite the media claiming otherwise, the signs of aging have very much began to show in Durant's game means that the Suns were very much pretenders (for the 23-24 season) even before the Beal trade.

Hot take: Kings finish top 3 in the west. My reasoning for that is the addition of DeRozan but also the emergence of Keon Ellis, who became a starter after the all-star break and it resulted in them being a top 4 defense in the remainder of the season. Fox led the league in steals and was 2nd in deflections behind Caruso, and is WAY underrated on defense, Keon Ellis is an insane POA defender with a long wingspan that disrupts the entire flow of offenses, and Keegan Murray turned into an elite on ball defender that can fight through screens. Now you have DeRozan over Harrison Barnes, who's equally as bad as DeRozan on defense. HB has really lost a step he's very slow and awful on defense. The Kings are developing really strong perimeter defense to truly protect attacking lanes to the rim because of Sabonis. Yes Sabonis is not a classic rim protector but he's strong af and battles to protect the rim in his own right. Definitely not as bad on defense as he gets flamed for.OKC
