After basically giving away Dort/Joe/Wiggins, the Thunder won't be quite as good during the reg season, unless they stay completely healthy. But the addition/rise of Jared McCain, and with Dub and Ajay healthy, I like their chances of winning it all even if SA has home court.

So George Pickens will play on the tag - no long-term deal. ESPN annual WR poll ranks him 7th just behind CeeDee. A coach said: “Untapped ability … it’s just where his head’s at week to week.” WHICH IS WHAT SCARES ME.

George Pickens is more talented than CeeDee Lamb and is one of the most talented receivers in the league, though there are question marks that prevent saying he's definitively better than Lamb. Predicting a huge year for him.
