How long has it taken KD and the thunder to get a ring? Oh wait. They haven't even gotten one yet. I remember back when everyone thought Thunder would get lie 2-3 ring this decade. Well I guess they still could get the rings, but lets be real they might get one if they're lucky. How about this year? If Durant doesn't get injured again and Westbrook keeps up the insane game he ha for the second half of the season last year. They haven't gotten much from the off-season, or anything eye opening to be worth talking about. Since everyone has healed from all their injuries, OKC might have a chance this year especially if Westbrook's caliber is the same from before. They have also got Serge Ibaka back which will bring back some front court into their team. Oklahoma has the same case with the Cleveland Cavalier's, an insane All-Star Small forward, a young but a fast growing player, and a power forward that is big in the post but also has a sweet jumper. It just depends how much they (The big three) can carry their team to the ring.
The Timberwolves where all the young talent is too bad there in the west. How many player are there that are under 3 years pro? They have 18 players on there roster and 12 of them are still very new to the game! With this info they are not going to do much this year other than to improve maybe get another first pick. They might do better than the Lakers or Nuggets but they wont even get anywhere close to the playoffs. They are in a good position as of right now though. The west is extremely good right now but by the time they die down a bit Timberwolves will take it by storm. In about 5 -6 years the west will probably look a lot more like the East with 3-4 dominant teams and the rest are "eh." Timberwolves rookies will probably be a lot better and players like Wiggins, Towns, Lavine, and maybe some hidden talent may be all-stars. Than at this point they would probably trade 3-4 decent players, that didn't get as good, and may get another insane player. Last season was plagued with injuries and Carmelo Anthony was no exception he only played about 20 games. Carmelo and the Knicks are aiming for a ring this year and with the team they have now they might get very close. The New York Knicks got a couple of players this off season that a be good or bad depending on if Carmelo will let them touch the ball. All jokes aside the Knicks will easily do a lot better than their 15th place from last season. They also picked up two other players in the draft which weren't that bad but they could of done a lot better. Jerian Grant was a great move by the Knicks and he seemed pretty good for a 19th pick. Now lets talk Kristaps. Everyone was pretty mad about the Knicks picking Kristaps Porzingis at pick number 4. If you really think about it they didn't have much of a choice they were aiming getting a first or second pick. They wanted Jalil or Karl a good big man. The Knicks got one of those a good player but not a bigman he is basically a 7 foot tall Kevin Durant. Atleast the knicks got some big men like Kyle O'quin, Derrick Williams, and Robin Lopez. Which really isn't that bad if you really think about it. A lot of the Knicks players are young so it just depends how good they are going to get this season to get close to a ring. Carmelo can't do it all by himself,but he sure will try,
