POR is not in the discussion, imo. Based on how they played the second half of last season, and the fact that their offseason acquisition was Chris freaking Kaman, I fully expect them to be scrapping for a playoff spot.

Houston, obviously so much is still up in the air, but unless they swing Bosh and Parsons I think we're better than them next year (and even if they do swing those two, they will have, literally, zero depth and I think their coach sucks).

GSW, who the hell knows. Rookie coach that's never done anything before.

I just think the Mavs can be significantly better than last year even if they "settle" for Ariza/Deng.
