** future games only -- takes current record as given
Instead of doing a season preview for every team in the league*, I plan to do a few articles this year on a few teams that I think are going to surprise a lot of folks. Unfortunately, the surprise isn't always going to be a good one. This is going to be the case for the Brooklyn Nets, who have used the words 'contender' and 'championship' a lot. I think those fans/analysts are going to be disappointed surprised.
The dust has (almost) settled on the 2012 offseason. I think it's time for us to look at the best and worst contracts of this season. It seems like every year, several teams are looking to unload "bad" contracts. We often forget that teams weren't just magically saddled with those bad contracts; somebody volunteered to pay them.
As with part 1 (which you can read here), I'm calling them guesses, not predictions, because this way if I'm completely wrong, I won't look as stupid. Will I do something as crazy as amnestying Kobe freaking Bryant again today?
