1. San Antonio 2. Minnesota 3. Denver (I like this team with Nene, Martin, Melo and Miller) 4. Sacramento 5. Houston 6. Memphis 7. Lakers 8. Utah then in no order, Phoenix, Dallas, Seattle, Golden State, Clippers, Portland and welcome to the west New Orleans, no more cheap playoff births for you.
I think Minnesota should tie for number one. Houston should be ranked higher than Sac. Utah is better than the Lakers. Other than those minor quibbles, nice list.
I personally see it as: 1. San Antonio 2. Minnesota 3. Sacramento 4. Houston 5. Memphis 6. Denver 7. Utah 8. Phoenix L.A. can beat out either Utah or Phoenix but I really don't see it. I will take Phoenix out depending on whether the Clippers match Richardson's contract.
i dont know why people are ranking denver low,i have a feeling that team is gonna be pretty damn good.
I'm going to put the Kings at #2 b/c that's realistic, who is gonna be able to challenge them in the Pacific? Our division is a killer...every team is good! 1. Spurs 2. Kings. 3. Wolves 4. Rockets (Only if we sign some friggin players for depth!) 5. Nuggets 6. Mavs 7. Jazz 8. Lakers
Only in terms of record, not actual best team. (That distinction belongs to the Rockets) 1. T'Wolves 2. Spurs 3. Kings 4. Rockets 5. Nuggets 6. Mavericks 7. Suns 8. Lakers (if they get Kobe)
My take. 1. San Antonio 2. Minn 3. Houston 4. Sacremento 5. Denver 6. Utah 7. Memphis 8. Dallas Lakers will fight with Suns, Dallas for the last spot.
What will the first round playoff seedings look like with the realignment? 1. Division Winner 2. Division Winner 3. Division Winner ... Followed by all of the other teams in order of record? Or something different?
im bored ill do one. 1. Wolves 2. Spurs 3. Kings 4. Nuggets 5. Rockets 6. Mavericks 7. Utah 8. Suns I think Mavericks are going to drop some, and i think Utah could grab a higher seed than 7. I don't see Memphis in the playoffs this year, i dunno why but that's what everyone said before last season.
I don't think the Mavs are done yet, we're putting them on the bottom of the bottom of the playoff teams right now but the Mavs and their owner have a lot of money, they're going to get someone good before its all done. That's just my opinion.
Top flight - Spurs, Wolves, Kings Second Tier - Lakers, Rox, Denver, Dallas Third Tier - Grizz, Utah, Suns, Blazers, Hornets Bottom tier - Clips, Seattle, Golden State
1. Spurs 2. Wolves 3. Kings 4. Rockets 5. Nuggets 6. Mavericks 7. Grizzlies 8. Jazz I have the Rockets 4th ONLY if you guys sign (or trade) for a legitimate PG. Otherwise, I think the Nugs and possibly the Mavs pass you. Nugs are still young, need to gel more. This is the last gasp for the Kings.
Outside of the Spurs and Wolves, I think anything can happen within the Western conference now and you can probably add the Lakers (now that they resigned Kobe) to that list. I actually think the Mavericks will suck if they don't make anymore changes. Stackhouse, Walker, Laetner??? Those players are trash and 2 of 'em are cancers. The Jazz are very questionable with Okur and Boozer. I'm also wondering if the Grizzlies can duplicate what they did last year. I don't know about the Nuggets, Martin never seemed that intimidating to me, I think they will struggle. This coming year might be the end of the Kings run.
