    I don't know why but I'm very interested to see how the Pelicans come together next season.

    Cavaliers (generic, I know).

    Another team I'm pretty interested in is the Bucks. Jabari Parker is going in as the best player on the roster, which is odd for a rookie. So that'll be interesting.

    Raptors obviously. So many ex-Rockets there including Lowry, Patterson, Hayes (is Hayes there still?). Lowry was an absolute bulldog, same vein as Beverley. If he were on our team today he would be my favorite player still. I hope they can improve and get a top 2 seed next year. I think Lowry and DeRozan have probably peaked, but Valanciunas and Ross have quite a ways yet to go up.

    PG - Jrue Holiday
    SG - Tyreke Evans/Eric Gordon
    SF - John Salmons
    PF - Anthony Davis/Ryan Anderson
    C - Omer Asik

    Need to beef up their wing position, but Tyreke quietly had an amazing last two months of the season. I think he's finally becoming a quality player. Asik/Davis pairing is a defensive nightmare. Anderson an elite 3 point threat. They'll return Jrue Holiday.

    Gordon is a bad fit on that team, but they have an intriguing rotation.

    DeRozan peaked at 24? Look at his career stats, they've trended in an upward direction each year.

    Miami
    Chicago
    Washington
    Cleveland

    And the Western Conference will be another wild ride.

    pelicans - watch anthony davis become one of the top 5 players in this league. see what happens when they're completely healthy with jrue, EG, tyreke, AD, asik.

    suns- just fun to watch. they have like 8 point guards too lol

    cavs- obvious

    jazz- personal fan of dante exum, and want to see how burke/exum/hayward plays out

    I am interested in seeing how the latest Morey exiles do at their new habitats.

    Cavs. Want to see how LeBron and Wiggins do.
    Lakers. Want to see how Lin do as a starter with ball in his hands. And Kobe.

    Also the T-Wolves if they trade Love to Cleveland for Wiggins/Bennett.

    Rubio-LaVine-Wiggins-Bennett-Dieng (yeah I know Pek & Brewer still around but man surround Rubio with some athletes and he may end up finally being good).

    Cavs wouldn't give up Wiggins and Bennett. I'd guess Bennett and Waiters - especially the way Bennett has been ripping up the summer leagues so far. Waiters has to get paid soon too and Cleveland isn't going to be the team to do that.

    I actually want to see how Miami does, post-LeBron. Obviously Deng isn't LeBron, but the Heat aren't completely lost at that position.

    Wade / Deng / Bosh is a pretty good "big 3" for the EC. If Danny Granger can regain any semblance of previous years, Miami might actually be pretty scary in the playoffs.

    Chicago and Cleveland in the east, and 90% of the west obviously
