I can't bring myself to go all in just yet. I'd rather hedge against disappointment than indulge in a few potential bragging rights points for calling it early.

I will say I really like all of our draft picks and believe that we have a shot making this team attractive for a big time free agent within the next three years at a minimum. Everyone is just so young and raw though.

IF Byron can manage to actually limit Kobe's minutes and Kobe actually embraces a reduced role so the kids can shine, we have a shot. I have confidence in Byron to stand his ground but I wouldn't exactly put my house on the line.
