Yes or no?

[Cal827]

Hey guys, we have had this before, but I thought we might as well try it again. One person posts a hypothetical situation. The person after that answers yes or no (up to them whether or not they want to provide an explanation), then adds another question.

Anyways, I will start off:

OKC will be the best team in the League when the season ends and the playoffs begin.

[PocketKings]

No, the Heat will still be the best team when the season ends with OKC/LAL/SAS all fighting for the best team in the West.

Question:
The Lakers will have three 20 ppg scorers in Kobe, Pau, Dwight?

[shep33]

No, the Heat will still be the best team when the season ends with OKC/LAL/SAS all fighting for the best team in the West.

Question:
The Lakers will have three 20 ppg scorers in Kobe, Pau, Dwight?

No, Kobe will be the only player who averages at least 20 ppg on the Lakers. Ball needs to move, lot of guys who can score for our team. But I think Dwight will average around 19 ppg, and Pau around 17-18.

Question:
Will Andrew Bynum post better overall statistics than Dwight Howard?

[blastmasta26]

No, Pau will score in the teens and there's a (albeit small) chance Kobe might as well.

Hypothetical: The Nuggets will become an elite team in the West.

Edit: late response, yes for The Bynum question. Only ppg though.

[PocketKings]

Yes, Bynum will be a 22+ PPG scorer with at least 11 RPG. Dwight will have him on rebounds, blocks, and impact on the game, but as far as scoring goes, Bynum will have the edge.

Question:
Does a superstar get traded by the trade deadline? If yes, who?

[PocketKings]

To answer the Nuggets question: Elite, no. Very good team, yes. IMO they are in that 4-6 range behind OKC, LAL, SAS.

[shep33]

Yes, Bynum will be a 22+ PPG scorer with at least 11 RPG. Dwight will have him on rebounds, blocks, and impact on the game, but as far as scoring goes, Bynum will have the edge.

Question:
Does a superstar get traded by the trade deadline? If yes, who?

Yes. Well this is tricky, I don't know if many people would consider Josh Smith a "superstar" but I think there is a good chance that he's gone.

Question:

Who will have the least wins in the NBA this next season?

[Cal827]

Yes. Well this is tricky, I don't know if many people would consider Josh Smith a "superstar" but I think there is a good chance that he's gone.

Question:

Who will have the least wins in the NBA this next season?

Yes .....Orlando. I think they win less that 15 games.

Next:

Amar'e rebounds to average about 20-10.

[PocketKings]

Yes. Well this is tricky, I don't know if many people would consider Josh Smith a "superstar" but I think there is a good chance that he's gone.

Question:

Who will have the least wins in the NBA this next season?

That's a good answer, but honestly, I don't see Smoove being dealt but at the same time wouldn't be surprised.

Answer to your question: Charlotte.

Question:
Does Dwight Howard play more than 65 games for the Lakers next season (not including post-season)?

[PocketKings]

Yes .....Orlando. I think they win less that 15 games.

Next:

Amar'e rebounds to average about 20-10.

I'll answer this: Yes on the scoring, no on the rebounding. I think with Felton back it'll help Amare's role in the offense, but don't see the increase in rebounding. I can see a 22-24 ppg/ 8-9 rpg.

Question:
Does Dwight Howard play more than 65 games for the Lakers next season (not including post-season)?

Yes. Usually can stay healthy, I feel his injury last year was overplayed due to his big off-season coming up (he knew he'd be traded). Good conditioners in LA too, plus Kobe will motivate Dwight to play.

Question: Lebron James will win his 4th MVP

[blastmasta26]

No, I think Durant finally gets it. Part of it might be people getting tired of LeBron winning lol

Q: Will someone other than Anthony Davis win ROY?

[PocketKings]

Yes, darkhorse candidate for ROY is Damian Lillard in Portland.

Question:
Does Carmelo Anthony return to previous form and score 25+ ppg and challenges for the scoring title in the league?

[davids22]

Yes, Carmelo is a great scorer. It's what he does, and I believe Durant and Melo will be the two highest scorers in the league next year.

Q: The first Lakers/Heat game on TV will set a ratings record for a regular season game.

[shep33]

That's a good answer, but honestly, I don't see Smoove being dealt but at the same time wouldn't be surprised.

Answer to your question: Charlotte.

Question:
Does Dwight Howard play more than 65 games for the Lakers next season (not including post-season)?

I honestly couldn't think of any other "star" level players that would get traded. Lol the easy answer was always Iggy. He's been on the block for years haha.

You question: I'm going to say yes, he plays 70-75 games. Some reports are saying he's on schedule, with others saying he'll miss the first month of the season. I listened to a report by an LA doctor saying that he should be ready for training camp, but I think he'll miss the first week or so.

Question: Do the Timberwolves make the Playoffs?
