Boston Celtics
Best Case Scenario: Kenneth Faried gets to b/b raising his trade value and netting Conroy some good future assets for what's bound to be a long rebuild. Both of his 19 year old rookies increase their potentials and gain points across the board. Their size/speed combos but with an interesting mix of really awesome attributes will be a big test of the college players.
Worst Case Scenario: Greens, greens everywhere as far as the eyes can see. The only thing worse than a drop in potentials would be a raise in current to green for his rooks. The last thing this team needs is a handful of more wins. TC insurance is your friend.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Brooklyn Nets
Best Case Scenario: Stella (I mean Tristan Thompson) gets his groove back. He goes g/g and gives the team an excellent front-court rotating with Buddy and Ibaka. Why you so Fly (g/b)? He Said, F. Cole Medina.
Worst Case Scenario: Buddy loses his blue potential and Medina gets Mellow Yellow. Tyreke takes roughly 80% of the team's shots. TC Insurance is your friend.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
New York Knickerbockers
Best Case Scenario: Harris and Parsons go b/b and they run a 6-deep rotation of Blue current or better players. Titan stays Titan at age 35.
Worst Case Scenario: This team has so much talent, that regardless of TC, it's still going to be a monster. Worst that could happen is Titan turns into Achilles' Heel and is merely a great rebounder and average defender, Gortat loses QKN and becomes unplayable at the 4. Still probably a favorite, if not THE favorite in the East.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Philadelphia 76ers
Best Case Scenario: Grimaldi gainz and is starting-capable, Simmons gets close to the court and is capable of backup minutes, Dooley gets his g/b on, and pushes for the starting gig allowing BSO to move Kemba for a scoring wing.
Worst Case Scenario: Dooley and KHBS lose some potentials. Dooley goes to a B in PAS and KHBS stays roughly the same current (meaning nowhere near seeing the court).
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Toronto Raptors
Best Case Scenario: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Worst Case Scenario: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC...also ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chicago Bulls
Best Case Scenario: Desantis gets good enough on the defensive rim (both DRB and BLK) to make up for his low ORB and HND/PAS which will still be far away. Although most bigs don't have those ratings anyway, his PSD is scary low and will need about a million blocks to make up for his detriment elsewhere on defense. The 4 is really the only question mark on this team. Best Case scenario is Desantis is the answer.
Worst Case Scenario: Desantis not only doesn't make it to playable status, but loses current as well. The PF position becomes a black hole.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Cleveland Cavaliers
Best Case Scenario: I was tempted to put the same status as Toronto, because I'm not sure what the plan is here, but this team's biggest strength is depth, so I'll say best case scenario is all 3 y/g's go to g/g and complete an 8-deep green wave.
Worst Case Scenario: Green wave becomes a yellow wave.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Detroit Pistons
Best Case Scenario: Odis gets to green current, Singler, Ramon, and Brooks hold on, and the Pistons have depth around AD for really the first time. Team is straight scary, yo.
Worst Case Scenario: Saying 'worst case' when you have AD is kinda laughable. All the above players could die, Stephenson could lose the speed that makes him SG-playable, and he'd still have a shot.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Indiana Pacers
Best Case Scenario: Carlos Boozer still looks like Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams still looks like Deron Williams
Worst Case Scenario: Carlos Boozer looks like Carlos Loozer and Deron Williams looks like DeWrong Williams
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Milwaukee Bucks
Best Case Scenario: Most of Quail's core are 24-28 and have reached their potential. A best case scenario probably involves a jump from someone unexpected, but I think he'd take a neutral TC right now.
Worst Case Scenario: Like I said above, I think the worst-case involves an unexpected player getting nerfed - maybe Evan Turner?
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Atlanta Hawks
Best Case Scenario: CAN YOU STOP SIGNING SO MANY PLAYERS. Best case is Warren, Ellinger, and Gordon improve while Kaman and Nate Rob hang on.
Worst Case Scenario: Kaman becomes below-average defensively (essentially unplayable), on a weak passing team, their PGs lose some of that rating as well and they don't have anyone to get the ball to their scorers. They'll be a tough team defensively in this scenario either way.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Miami Heat
Best Case Scenario: Pfeffer gets a potential bump in Passing and becomes the PG this team badly needs, Dudley hangs on, and Casspi adds some PSD to help him play the 4.
Worst Case Scenario: Pfeffer regresses, Dudley goes G/G, and Monroe loses some QKN putting this team in a front-court pickle.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Orlando Magic
Best Case Scenario: Tyreke Evans goes Green
Worst Case Scenario: Tyreke Evans goes Purple
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Washington Wizards
Best Case Scenario: Somebody, anybody, gets to Blue potential. Best case is Hightower and Randle.
Worst Case Scenario: Nobody, nobody, gets to Blue potential. Carmelo stays G/G and wins the Wizards 35 games.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
Charlotte Bobcats
Best Case Scenario: Both Balls go g/b (this happened in a test TC), Jeff Adrien keeps his QKN allowing him to play the 4, and Kevin Wright adds to his trade value with a nice little green potential.
Worst Case Scenario: Lavar Ball goes y/g and Lonzo goes y/y (this also happened in a test TC), Adrien gets slow, no one plays the 4, and Chad quits again.
Prediction: lol, I'm not gonna try and predict TC
