The biggest difference makers in my mind would be JB and Bullock. So I get why losing JB for nothing gets people in panic mode. The Wood addition is interesting. I'm not sure if we are going to be better or worse but I don't think it will be drastic in either direction. We are just going to be a very different team. That's exciting in its' own right.
I think the only valid "play-in team" argument is the improvement of the other Western Conference teams. I think that's overblown, and that with health, this *should* still be a top five team in the West. However, we will return to being first round outs if JB's ballhandling isn't replaced. Go get Conley, or whoever.
