Who will advance in the play in tournament?
Cavaliers vs Nets
Clippers vs TWolves
Hornets vs Hawks
Spurs vs Pelicans
I'll go with Nets against Cavaliers. I already picked them the first time I saw the match-up but with Allen not playing in the play-in because of a thumb injury, that increases the odds of Nets winning and staying at 7th spot.
I think I'll go with Clippers against the Wolves. I think the Clippers deserves a playoff spot more than the Wolves.
Hornets vs. Hawks? I'll go with Hornets with this even though Hayward will not play.
Spurs Vs. Pelicans? Spurs I think. All of this are just my prediction though
.
Great decision by the Lakers Management.
Now, Looking forward to the players that will be traded in preparation for the improvement by next season.
Who do you think will be TRADED?
Base on this article, both Westbrook and the team agreed to part ways after the season. The only problem is will there be any team that will have interest in getting him after how he played this season. If none then I think he will stay with the Lakers alongside Lebron

https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2022/04/10/would-russell-westbrook-accept-a-buyout-of-his-contract/Waiving their old players will be their first step in rebuilding the team. The team had too much old players that it affected them both offensively and defensively. With regards to Lebron, Davis and Westbrook, maybe Lebron and AD will stay and Westbrook will be traded if there will be some team that will be interested in him. My prediction only though

Yeah I just read this and of course found it quite interesting..
With Frank Vogel removed as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the day, Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook opened up about the disconnect that existed between the two of them in his first season in L.A.
"I think it's unfortunate, to be honest, because I've never had an issue with any of my coaches before," Westbrook said on Monday after his exit interview with the Lakers' front office. "I'm not sure what his issue was with me or I'm not sure why, but I can't really give you an answer to why we really never connected."
"When I first got here, the ability to be able to do what I'm able to do for a team and an organization wasn't given a fair chance," he said.
"The famous 'source' stories that came out about myself, whether it be between me and the staff, me and Frank, me and the fans, there's just so many made-up stories that are not true," Westbrook said. "It's just always having to fight against that constantly. It's just not [being] given a fair chance. It's like, 'OK, now I got to fight against this made-up story. Now I got to fight against this one. Now I go to fight against this one. Now I got to fight against this one.'"
