    Wolves for sure. You had Rubio coming into his own, and logic dictates Love would be even better.

    But then Love re-injured his hand early in the season (iirc) and Rubio just can't shoot. Now you have Adelman probably leaving, and you can't really move up or down in the draft.

    The upside is, Dieng has shown he's solid, and you still have Pekovic, making it a lite version of Asik-Dwight. So you at least have that to work with.

    Knicks.

    They won over 50 games last year. This year couldn't even make the Playoffs in the East.

    I'm going to vote for the Wolves because I've seen it first hand. For whatever reason this just seems like a cursed organization.

    As disappointing the Wolves were, the Knicks were the most pathetic. I don't understand how they could miss the playoffs in the East.

    Grades- Wolves- D
    Knicks- F-

    It has to be New York when you consider how bad the East is. To miss the playoffs is just crazy.

    I concur. Carmelo took Nuggets teams to the playoffs that had much less talent than this Knicks team.

    In '06, he had Camby, Andre Miller, and Kenyon Martin for half the season. The rest of the rotation consisted of Greg Buckner, Francisco Elson, Earl Boykins, and Eduardo Najera. Carmelo took THAT team to the playoffs in the West, in his third year no less -- I think that speaks volumes about how miserable his Knicks teammates have been this year.

    Nuggets for me. That team was dynamite last year, this year they just sucked.

    Knicks were in the East. Didn't have any major injuries. And they were straight garbage.

    When JR Smith is your second best player, you don't have that much talent.

    Not really...on a stat sheet that looks great but their front court doesn't fit together well at all. Josh Smith was the wrong move for that particular lineup

    EDIT: I chose the Knicks. Man, watching their final game of the season made me feel bad for Woodson. He looked like someone shot his dog the entire game...and they won

    Depends on what expectations you are referring to.

    My expectations -- the Wolves.

    Their expectations -- the Knicks.

    I'd say Charlotte. They were in a prime spot for a high draft pick in a good draft. Now, they'll be 4 and out with a dim future. :)

    I'm surprised a majority CF picked the Knicks considering their dysfunction and injuries are are quite publicized.

    The Wolves, on the other hand, look good on paper. That franchise just can't seem to get it together even when they're healthy.

    Knicks. They're not a great team, but they couldn't even make the Eastern playoffs and did fairly well last season. I'd put the Pistons second, Cavs third, and Wolves 4th (I had low expectations for them since they're in the West).
