A "multi-polar" NBA with numerous teams having reasonable shots at a championship is an invitation for a lot of fan bases to be disappointed by the results.
You cannot say "would not have beaten Golden State anyways" now.

Blake to Portland makes a lot of sense. Whiteside's expiring, some combo of Portland's young guys, Simons, Little, Collins plus picks.
One of the reasons I respect him a lot. He’s always been a bit of a point forward but now he can shoot and has a versatile offensive game. I’d say it is overrating him to call him a superstar if people are still doing that.
They're going to be sneaky good this year, too. I know nobody is going to get too excited about Lamarcus Aldridge and Demar Derozen but those two plus Dejounte Murray coming back is going to make for a pretty good core. I think they're a playoff team in the West.
The Lakers (assuming AD and Lebron don't kick things into high gear until March or so) and the Warriors (if they can stay afloat until Klay comes back) are going to be some incredibly dangerous low seeds. Who says no to a first round matchup of the #1 seed Clippers vs. the 8 seed Warriors or Lakers?
Nice! I'm holding out hope that both Porter Jr and Zion are healthy by that point, but not expecting it.

This feels like a relative bargain for the guy who serves as the centerpiece of their defense and as the emotional leader of the team.

Man, Boogie has had nothing but bad luck since he got out of Sacramento. Torn achilles, torn quad, and now a torn ACL - all having occurred during what amounted to a contract year for him.
