The Clippers have enough talent to do it, but we don't trust them to. I would put the Sixers here where if they won a title, nobody would look back and call it improbable or maybe somebody would try it. Eric Gordon's gone; Marcus Morris and Robert Covington were out of the rotation for the most part in playoffs until so many guys got hurt that their depth is not what it once was. The Brooklyn Nets who have never gotten over whatever happened that drove Harden out of there and into the arms of Daryl Morrie coming off a private jet for an emotional reunion hug with James Harden.
Zach and Chris Herring of SI.com discuss the James Harden stand-off and the futures of the Sixers and Clippers, then pick their five most intriguing new player-team fits: Chris Paul in Golden State, Marcus Smart in Memphis, John Collins in Utah, much more.
