We can’t stand to be mediocre so we handed the keys over to the Joker. Nikola’s money like a stock broker, he’ll light you up like a chain smoker.

Triple move with the righty hook, reading defenses like picture books. Hitting defenders with the no-looks, leaving defenses confused and shook.

Now we got Jamal who can ball, confidence like he’s ten feet tall. Be careful Steven Adams or you might “trip” and fall. He’s going to get his buckets in flurries like a young Stephen Curry.

He plays with this fiery fury, Yeah that’s Jamal Murray. We got the one and the five, so who’s manning the two?

Hello Gary Harris, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Basket cuts to the hole will likely take a toll. But hitting game winners will surely steal your soul.

At the three we have The Thrill, changing speeds like a treadmill. His moves will give you headaches leaving you begging for Advil. Shifting gears like he’s driving stick, he’s crafty and he’s quick. Hits you with the cross leaving defenders feeling sick.

We have our young core, but in the West you need more.

Enter Paul Millsap, our savvy vet at the four. His game might make you snore and fall asleep on the floor, but every young team needs a veteran mentor.

The West is going to be a fight and the standings are going to be tight.

We may not win a ring but our futures looking bright.
