If only every team could be better than .500

With the exception of the 48-win Jazz prediction and maybe the 34-win Portland forecast, I think all those projections are overly optimistic (even the 21 wins for the T-Wolves -- thanks Kevin McHale!).

Of course, this is coming from a dork who thinks the Wizards are gonna post 50 wins. But hey, at least I recognize that for every 50-win team, someone has to finish 18 games UNDER .500 too.

In light of recent events...

How many wins should we deduct from the T-Wolves for their trade today? 10? 15?

The line is 18

I'd be willing to take all 21, but for some reason I think Al Jefferson and Antoine Walker will go absolutely nuts and obliterate the Celtics in one game for some reason.
