Lakers will find a way to become contenders again... imo.
Biggest threat would be a Harden-less Thunder team, but Spurs could take that series in 6.
Clippers with KG/Pierce/Rivers could be interesting.
You heard it here first.

Spurs looked very impressive with Green, Leonard. It's just time to upgrade over Manu, if they can do that they will go back.
My Bane will be a starter around the AS break. Hopefully RC will get another SF to backup Leonard and have a legit backup PG, like Savior Sessions and Marion. Might as well claim Kirby after he's amnestied so he can back up Green.
Oh yeah, the Spurs are favorites to repeat as western champions.
Mavs as well if we can make good use of the 30m cap space we have this summer. If we get two superstars with the 30m space we'll be even more stacked than 10' Heat because our bench will be much better and deeper, at least we won't need to fill up our squad with minimum-salary labors
as bummed out as I am, I wouldn't be shocked if Spurs are back. I'm not even saying that arrogantly, just that life is so strange, I wouldn't be shocked by it.
Plus I think Kawhi is the real deal holyfield.
I'm thinking we will have some new blood in the Finals. I think we could see a surprise team come out of the Western Conference like the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Clippers, or even the Mormons.
The only contenders in the weak West will be the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers with a different coach and a few changes, and Rockets with Howard, tbh..
Book it.2014 NBA Finals rematch
Yes. Even after just losing that heartbreaking game 7, I still expect my favorite TOSB team to be back in the Finals and to have another opportunity to face Miami. And I expect a different result.
I don't know about next year, but definitely before Rose comes back, IMO...
That's next year. Ipso facto:::
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 4
I don’t see it…Why would Tim Duncan play lights out if Coach Pop is just going to throw the series…
Memo to Pop…The game is about the players not the coach…
In Pop we trust? YEA RIGHT!
Once again, I don't know how the coach/player relationship truly is between Pop and Timmy. They have to work together all the damn time, right? ... Does Duncan just roll with WTFever Pop wants/tells him to do? I know Tony can pretty much maneuver Pop into seeing things his way. ... But Timmy has got to stand his ground with Pop and not be so passive. Once again... this sucks for him, but maybe it had to be this way for him to challenge Pop if he feels he must from now on. Any type of close relationship like this must be 100 percent-100 percent give and take.

LA grocery shopping can't be beat.
Either the Spurs or the Clippers with KG/PP tbh. Even if Houston gets Coward I don't see their talent as good enough to overcome the ty coaching of McHale.
I just hope some ing talent gets sent to the leastern conference to stop miami from getting to the finals
That's it. And that's all.
Too many questionmarks (LA-Teams, Mavs, Houston,...), but as of today I'd take the Spurs to repeat as Western Champs.
Worst case they are still top4 in the West and win 50 again.
