Almost added the Sixers but left it with these 2 teams.

That's a tough one.

I guess it depends. There is a lot of pressure on the Lakers because of Lebron's age. They've already won 1 with him, so that relieves a little pressure. But him retiring with only 1 title with the Lakers would feel "incomplete".

Ultimately, I'm gonna say more pressure on the Nets because they are favored to win the title, they have 3 stars in their prime and they might be the most hated team in the league.

I'm gonna disagree with you here since the Lakers got Russ. With the trio, and likely Melo coming I gotta say all the pressure is there. Nets can say look, the lakers out bought us.

Gotta say I want to see them match up in the finals: Russ vs Harden, LeBron vs Durrant--even if you hate them it would be great basketball (and flopping).

The Kings, because they haven't made the playoffs since I was in high school.

Don’t think it is the same though.

Because they will be underdogs.
I almost added Philly but thought better of it. And the Clippers could very well be without Leonard.
