Bold predictions for the NBA season

Believe it or not, the NBA season starts on Tuesday. A couple months after the Lakers won the title, we already have another season underway! We're finally getting a reprieve from constant football in our faces and can celebrate joyously. Here are some bold predictions for the upcoming NBA season.

• James Harden Won't Be Traded: The Rockets superstar has expressed his displeasure in Houston and has wanted to move. Russell Westbrook is now in Washington, D.C., and Mike D'Antoni is out of town as well. Still, will anybody want to take a point guard on the wrong side of 30, especially if he can't play defense?
  
• The Warriors Still Won't Make the Playoffs: Yes, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are back. However, Klay Thompson is out for the season, making the offense look one-dimensional. Also, the Pacific Division is much better; the defending champions, the Los Angeles Lakers, reside here as well as the Los Angeles Clippers and the rising Phoenix Suns. The Pacific Division will be a tough out for the Warriors, which is why they won't survive.
  
• This Los Angeles Team Will Win It All... It'll Be the Clippers: I believe the Los Angeles Clippers have some unfinished business after blowing a 3-1 lead to Denver last season. The Clippers are still a great two-way team and have added Serge Ibaka and Tyronn Lue to the mix. Therefore, you can count on the Clippers to win it all (and watch Steve Ballmer go crazy).
