The West is just a grind house. Not on that list is Memphis, if we're playing the "can stay healthy card" their starting five is almost as good as any.

The only team that is guaranteed to suck is the Kings. Maybe Suns. Lakers should be bad too. I wonder with promising talent in Warren and Booker and a savvy pg in Bledsoe, if they can hover around .500 until teams start jockeying for playoff position. They could easily suck though.

There is a changing of the guard in the West. Alot of the regular dominant teams are starting to slide back. The Warriors and Spurs are going to take hits this offseason. We saw a couple of seasons ago that teams like the Thunder, Clips and Blazers are all dependant on one major superstar. One major injury pretty much kills their season. Mavs and Rockets are coming apart. Just hard to project what these teams are going to look like at the beginning of the season.

We have filled some holes, but still have some more to fill. Plus Davis has to take another step into a leader. But this team should be right in the hunt. I can see 50 wins, if everything breaks right. Lots of up and coming teams though. The Wolves and Lakers are going to surprise some people..
