I disagree with you on your Houston over Boston angle. Boston has a superior winning track record and a passionate fan base. KD has mentioned on a couple of occasions that he loves passionate fan bases.He will be about in the same position as he is in now in Boston.
I think the allure of bringing L.A. back with Westbrook could be big draw and they would have full control of that team with some young pieces and draft picks.
If it's just about winning then Houston has to be ahead of Boston, this season has been a disappointment but having Harden there and some roster flexibility ad a winning track record should be a draw.
I know Boston has a nice record this year but unless they get Simmons and another near star I don't see how he would put them in the top tier with G.S. S.A. or the Clips and Cleve.
I see them about the same as OKC currently.
I also think Boston has a huge coaching edge. Brad Stevens is the next great coach in the game, IMO. Nobody is saying that about BBJ.
Also, the Celtics will likely have a top 5 pick this year. They own Brooklyn's 1st round pick. They could very easily add an impact player with that pick.
