I don't know about Irving, he has a torn ACL and it will take like eight months to a year to recover from that. That's why they got D'Lo as their point guard because of the Irving situation. As far as Davis goes, he will be healthy day in day out.

So I guess it's just about right on where they are as far as outright betting goes. No doubt that OKC will be the top favorite, their core is intact and with just minor additions to their team. Cavs was a good team last year, maybe they can have a break out run and push past the second round with Mitchell and Garland.

Same with the Nuggets, they still have Jokic at the helm, although they've traded Porter Jr., they added Cam Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas to give Jokic some time to rest and then put him in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.

They are being expect to win another one because the core team is still intact and players are entering the prime years, as a team, securing the contract should also be prioritized as its the one thing that breaks the team chemistry and make the team bothered most of the time, but i think they can handle it, they just need to stop surging teams of the west and ofcourse secure a playoff spot in the west, also houston is another threat to be look at, as they are also building a team for the future years to come.

That's the thing as even he got all the resources but if he already reached his limit then he's going to ends up like an ordinary player, he's going to be lucky if team considered him after LeBron retires, though he still got some time to shows up and bring his talent to his own name, and leave that shadow from  being a son of LeBron

Maybe giving him that same chance like what happened to Jordan Clarkson though he's in the 2nd round he still manage to grind his name and now even he's not that kind of a main guy thing but he created his own name and continue to impress his fans.

The Rockets are looking good in the preseason. Well, that was just against Atlanta and Utah. Although they traded away a young Jalen Green, who’s a potential star, right now KD is the better and more reliable scorer. Maybe they’re aiming to become a stronger contender and can’t wait for Jalen Green to reach his prime. Next, they’re facing the Pelicans, let’s see if they can beat a slimmer Williamson. Honestly, the Pelicans are strong and could be a playoff team as long as they have a disciplined Zion.

But Bronny is not that big to play good defense, not even the length that can poke the ball and make a steal. That should be his area, but then again, his physical will not alone him to be that kind of great defender.

I know that we have criticized him ever since, and we all know that it's one reason why Stephen A. Smith and Lebron are not the best of friends because on how Bronny was, let's admit it, not being like by many basketball analyst but it is what it is.

Maybe they forget what happen to him, but before the incident, he is playing on level that is already ready into pro, this is just my opinion but that ight be the reason why he is not playing well, aside from that the backlash from haters that he is drafted in the NBA, that is what i don't like with people, just because they don't have the opportunity like the kid, they are tearing him down with everything , I mean if this were MJ son they would be praise, this is the reality, if you are not their idol, they will say bad things, but when you are their idol, they would have crawl if their idol tell them to do it, let the child play.

WE should not expect anything from the pre-season this is before 25% of what teams really can give on the court. This is just a practice game/warm-up fro everyone specially for the new comers and bench player.  KD is sure a better scorer than Green because of his shooting skill but for how long? and with the health issue I hjope he can play more than 70% of the game this season.
