    Dragic with the Suns or Lowry with the Raptors.

    The Raptors. East is easier.

    Easily the Raptors. Who the hell do the Suns have besides Dragic? He isn't Nash, people. Beasley doesn't scare me one bit. Gordon doesn't look like he's headed there. The Rockets last year are a better team than they will be.

    Gortat, Beasley, and Dragic is better than any trio from the Raptors.

    I think the Suns may have a chance to make the playoffs or get close. I don't think the Raptors will make it, which is perfect since we have their pick.

    Suns will be mediocre. Rapts will suck.

    Just looked at both Suns and Raptors rosters; I think the Suns already had an advantage without all the supposed FA signings. The Suns should be the better team.

    They have Gortat. He did pretty well last season but that was the result of having Nash facilitate the offense.

    If the Suns don't get Gordon, it has to be the Raptors. Neither makes the playoffs.

    1. Lowry
    2. Ross
    3. DeRozan
    4. Bargnani
    5. Valanciunas (!)

    Bench: Grey, Calderon, Acie, Davis, Kleiza

    That's not bad, depending on how well Valanciunas plays. He would've been the number two pick in this years draft had according to Marc Stein.

    Sadly both might have a better record than H-Town.

    That just means the Raptors have the better record while the Suns have the better team.

    I think the Raptors will be better.

    Suns will be better next year, but Raps have a brighter future

    Do you really believe that? Look at the records and standings of last year's playoff teams.

    Hopefully Toronto has chemistry issues and growing pains since we may have their pick?
