Come up with your own Power Rankings for right now. Either go for the whole NBA or just limit it to the Western Conference since that's where our Mavericks play.

1. Golden State Warriors (defending Champions deserve this spot for now)
2. San Antonio Spurs (champions as recently as 2014 and have added LaMarcus Aldridge)
3. Oklahoma City Thunder (if healthy this team has the two best scorers in the NBA and can do some real damage)
4. Houston Rockets (top team in the toughest division during the 2014-15 season)
5. Memphis Grizzlies (as long as they have Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol they're among the Western Conference elite)
6. Dallas Mavericks (when I was ready to panic they really put together the best offseason ever)
7. New Orleans (will Alvin Gentry get them to the next level?)
8. L.A. Clippers (will additions Paul Pierce and Lance Stephenson be enough to make up for their losses?)
9. Phoenix Suns (how much better will this team be with Tyson Chandler?)

I don't feel like going past #9. The other 6 teams just don't look good enough. Minnesota could surprise though.
