NBA Roundup: 2019-20 Season Preview Edition

We can safely pencil in a handful of Western conference teams into the 2020 playoffs. Both Los Angeles teams should qualify given decent health. The Rockets will contend as long as James Harden is on the roster. Trips to the Mountain time zone will be nightmarish with altitude-laden battles at Denver and at Utah. The rest of the spots quickly begin to thin out after that.

The Bottom Feeders
No writeup longer than this is necessary. These teams are bottom of the barrel who are either tanking, rebuilding, or just plain bad.

Knocking On The Door
These teams are on the cusp of making the playoffs, and if everything goes right, have a chance of winning a series... or even possibly two.


Atlanta Hawks - With the ascension of Trae Young and John Collins, this team is poised for a bright future. Add to that the additions of rookies De'Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish, and now we're really talking. This team may be a solid player away from a legit playoff contender, especially if Young continues to shine.


Minnesota Timberwolves - Karl-Anthony Towns is a legit star with the talent and hopes of putting together an MVP campaign this year. Add Andrew Wiggins to that and this team can be dangerous if everything falls right. If they get off to a cold start though, I expect them to move off of Wiggins and rebuild.


Oklahoma City Thunder - Chris Paul and Danilo Gallinari are two guys who have been part of winning cultures for most of their careers, along with big man Steven Adams. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finding his place in the league, this team has a ton of potential.


New Orleans Pelicans - No.1 pick Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, Jrue Holiday, Lonzo Ball, and Derrick Favors, with Josh Hart and JJ Redick off the bench is going to be a really fun team to watch. They are the wildcard in the league this year. They can take third in the West, or completely free fall into oblivion.


Indiana Pacers - Victor Oladipo is a budding star in the East. With Malcolm Brogdon, TJ Warren, Domantas Sabonis, and Myles Turner rounding out the starting lineup, this team should crack the playoffs easily.


San Antonio Spurs - The development of San Antonio’s backcourt may take precedent over the franchise’s 22-year playoff streak. But, a healthy year from Dejounte Murray and growth from Derrick White can set the franchise on the right path into the next decade.


Miami Heat - Excising Hassan Whiteside unleashes Bam Adebayo as Jimmy Butler brings some star power back to South Beach. Miami’s defense will make for a difficult playoff out; this team has conference finals upside.


Toronto Raptors - Though they lost Kawhi, Marc Gasol and Kyle Lowry will outmatch half the East, and if Pascal Siakam’s repertoire can be expanded outside of his lethal spin move, a top-three seed is very much in play.

No.1 Contenders


Brooklyn Nets - Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, pending health concerns. 'Nuff said.


Houston Rockets - Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Clint Capela, and a ton of really good-fitting role players could have this team finally in the finals.


Utah Jazz - The addition of having Mike Conley’s presence should relieve the playmaking load for Donavan Mitchell, who can slide to a more natural role as a scoring guard. Gobert was ultra-efficient offensively last season, showing serious evolution as a rolling finisher. He may add a third Defensive Player of the Year in 2019-20.


Golden State Warriors - The formula for title contention isn’t complicated. Lean on Steph Curry and integrate D’Angelo Russell, then pray for Klay Thompson’s healthy return. A full Warriors squad–plus a quality waiver addition or two–is talented enough to keep the Finals streak alive. A third MVP could be in store for Steph.


Boston Celtics - Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, and Gordon Hayward are a terrific core if all of them can remain happy with their playing time. In the East, this team has gobs of potential.


Denver Nuggets - Nikola Jokic is perhaps the most versatile big this century. Denver could ride his brilliance to the Finals if he continues to ascend.


Portland Trail Blazers - If Dame puts together an MVP-type season, back-to-back conference finals appearances is certainly possible.


Dallas Mavericks - Luka Doncic paired with Kristaps Porzingis could propel this team to new heights, but an injured KP and a sophomore slump for Luka could send Dallas closer the the 15th seed in the West than No. 8.

Cream Of The Crop


Los Angeles Clippers - If Kawhi Leonard makes a legitimate MVP run and Paul George’s shoulder is healthy by Thanksgiving, sixty wins is certainly in play; this team could run away from the pack early.


Los Angeles Lakers - Rumors of LeBron James’ decline are likely much exaggerated. Anthony Davis was among the MVP favorites entering 2018-19. There’s a quality closing five with Danny Green, Avery Bradley and Kyle Kuzma surrounding the imposing duo. Figuring out the rest will be the hard part.


Milwaukee Bucks - All the hand-wringing over the Bucks’ offseason may look foolish in June. Giannis could cruise to another MVP, and only the Sixers stand as current threats to win the East. One ring could secure Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee for the next decade.


Philadelphia 76ers - Ben Simmons, marksman. Not quite, but even passable production outside of 12 feet could swing the Eastern Conference. An in-shape Joel Embiid could win the MVP, and Al Horford’s arrival may be the steal of the offseason. There are legitimate title hopes in the City of Brotherly Love.
