Both look like 64+ win teams
Tier 1
1. SA
2. GSW
Tier 2
3. OKC- Would be in tier 1 if not for Enes I am one of the worst defenders in nba kanter looks to be back
Tier 3
4. Memphis
5. Houston
Tier 4
6. LAC- They still have Blake and CP3, and JJ is very good also, but yeah 1 Blake or CP3 injury of 10+ games and they maybe screwed, matters what lance they get too
7. Dallas- Really hard to know what to expect out of Wes this year, but if he gives mavs what he gave Portland last year pre injury they could battle for up to 4th, if he struggles missing the playoffs isn't crazy. PG situation isn't as bad as people say if they get lin, but short on backup bigs and Dirk can't play huge minutes anymore.
8. NOP- AD maybe ready for another leap, Ryan Anderson bounceback would be huge as well as less injuries, if that happens they will finish higher than 8th, giving Asik 5 years is very questionable.
9. Utah- A PG away, really interesting young team
10. Phx- Tyson will help the defense, but I'm not a believer in Knight, but they have Bledsoe and interesting young pieces
11. Denver- Do they blow it up? Hope gallanari can stay healthy, he's very good and underappreciated when healthy
12. Portland- Damian Lillard going to take so many shots
13. Sacramento- Koufos is underrated, Cousins is terrific, that front office is a mess
14. Lakers- Believer in Russell, Hibbert's defense will help a bit.
15. Timberwolves- Like the young core but so young
