Official how many wins will the Kings have in the 2016-2017 season

#61
Not feeling inspired with the current roster but I heard Dave has the magic touch so who knows what can happen. My guess is anywhere from 28-48 wins.

34 wins. Collison's 8 game suspension probably will hurt a lot because of the depth at the position will be weak. New coach, new system is going to hurt in the first 20 games like it usually does. Gay isn't going to be able to sustain motivation because of his desire to leave the Kings. The rooks are just rooks and won't contribute anything measurable.

Gay wont be able to sustain motivation? He's playing for a new contract! If anything Gay should have an up year given the circumstance. You didnt account for the team likely playing real defense. Other than that your post is accurate/pessimistic.

Not sure if he can be part of the team sacrificing his game. He can just stat-pad his numbers for bigger payday.

Wouldn't be the first time that a player playing for a new contract doesn't play on the both end of the floor, focusing on individual stats and not quite as interested in other stuff like defense. Also, I find it to be human nature that when a person has one foot out the door that person just doesn't give it his all at his current employment.

Anywhere from 23 (injuries, turmoil and fire-sale trades) to 40 (Joerger maximizes roster, fluke seasons from multiple players).

My gut says that this is going to be a tumultuous season, but I'll split my high/low for 32 wins.

I actually like the roster more then I have in years. I still think Rudy needs to moved by the deadline for depth in the backcourt. Overall though I think were improved enough to win around 40 games and unless something unforeseen happens with Cousins I'd be shocked if were worse then last season.

I'll say 35 wins...I don't like the roster that much, our backcourt is still abysmal compared to most everyone else, but I think Joerger is hopefully worth a few more wins than last season.

Cousins ...A
Collison/Lawson...C+
Gay/Barnes...C+
Koufos.....C-
Afflalo....C+

I consider our starters at this level in terms of NBA ability at their position. Joerger is a B+ coach imo which ads up to 38-41 wins.

Now that we know what the Collison suspension is lets put our reputation where our mouth is. How many wins will the Kings have this season? Not looking for a range of wins just looking for one total number. Winners will have bragging rights all off season.
We are now officially half way through the season, we have played 41 games. With the new arena, new coach, the addition of free agents and draft picks how is this team looking compared to where you thought they would be? Are they underachieving or are they overachieving? This time last year after 41 games we were 18-23. Today we're 16-25 on pace for a 32 win season compared to a 33 win season last year.

Overachieving
Gary 28

Of the 53 posters that posted 52 of them have the Kings underachieving so far while just one has them overachieving. So what has went wrong? Boogie is having a career year. Is it Vlade's fault because he didn't acquire enough talent in free agency? Is it Joerjer's fault for not coaching up the talent he has? Is it Kings fans fault for having too high of expectations? This isn't your kids team where everyone gets a trophy this is big time business where the game is played at the highest level. Who's responsible for the Kings underachieving so far this season?

Mark (and mock) my words:
Kings will have 38 wins this season and make the playoffs.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Nice update. With Rudy out but an easier schedule I think I'm on track :p
