The Spurs will be the most improved team in the NBA. Not only because of their pickups of Blair and Jefferson, but because they "improved" by no injuries. This will be the only team in the way of the Lakers in the West.
Cleveland picked up a few solid bench players. Shaq is a minor upgrade to ilgauskas. They still need a point guard though. They've needed a point guard for 7 years now. Thats the missing peice to Lebron getting a championship, not another bigman. Lebron will get Defensive Player of the year and MVP.
Celtics got sheed and daniels. Nuff said. However, Garnett is pretty old and busted. Allen is getting there as well. Still Championship contenders.
Clippers still won't make playoffs. Griffin will get rookie of the year provided he stays healthy. If he's not healthy, Jennings followed by Evans or Blair are my next choices.
Grizzlies will be a tossup. If AI and Randolph can actually mesh well, they might make it to 8th seed of playoffs. I'm guessing they will miss the playoffs. 42-41 win team.
Golden State Warriors are in the position to make some monster trades. This could be a potential team to watch out for. They have a team loaded with some of the best scorers in the league. However, they have too many pure shooting guards(that play various positions). They don't have a true 1 3 or 5. Trading Ellis and Jackson could change that. Maybe even pick up Stoudemire or Bosh.
Nuggets have matured. I have a feeling this year Carmelo is going to absolutely dominate, however i don't see them doing better than last year.
Thunder will be the most improved team in the NBA(as far as players getting better, not new pickups like the Spurs). Westbrook will end up being one of the top 5 point guards within a year. Durant will be leading scorer in the NBA within 2 years. Green is going to improve. They are making very smart draft choices. All of their rookies are top notch. The only piece Thunder is missing is a good center. I see this team not making the playoffs, but certainly will next year if they get a center.
The Knicks will suck this year and many years to come. They will recruit very crappy players as they have been doing. Lebron will not go there. No chance in hell.
The Nets got bought by one of the richest men in the world. I'm wondering how overpriced they will pay to get good players.
The Rockets will fall more than any other team.
The 76er's will do slightly worse.
The Hornets will stay virtually the same. Chris Paul will have an MVP season.
Dwayne Wade will leave the Heat. Most likely team I can think of for him would be the Nets.
The Bulls will do slightly worse.
Pistons will do worse.
The Blazers will stay the same. Oden will perform "decent". Look forward to 13 and 8.5 numbers from him. Roy did amazing last year, he should do better.
Pacers will still suck. Hansborough will get hardly any playtime on a bad team.
The Jazz will be better due to no injuries.
The Bobcats will be better due to more coaching.
The Suns will stay the same, which is bad.
Magic will be the same. However, I don't think they will make it to the finals.
The Wizards will be infected by injuries. Arenas will get hurt again.
The Bucks will obviously do very bad. Brandon Jennings will be 1st or 2nd or 3rd best player of the draft. Possible candidate for ROY.
Timberwolves will trade away their rights to RagHeadBoy. Flynn will be solid. 12-14ppg and 5ast.
Mavericks will be better, but won't make it out of the first round of playoffs due to leaning on Dirk Choksondikski
Raptors will be worse. Bosh will leave.
Lakers pick up of Ron Artest is yet to be judged. Could be a really good pickup, or not so much. I don't think they got worse by the pickup though, definitely. Will repeat as champions if they can make it past the Spurs and Boston.
