A FUN POLL question for executives and coaches in this late July calm, with free agency about done and two major potential trade-slash-contract situations -- Lauri Markkanen and Brandon Ingram -- as yet unresolved: If you had to pick one West team to make the Finals, who would it be?
Maybe three-quarters of respondents open their mouths right away as if to deliver a confident response -- only to clam up and furrow their brows. For these folks, there is no team that inspires the same confidence as the defending champion Denver Nuggets did one year ago -- even after losing Bruce Brown in free agency.
