Spurs
Tony Parker
Danny Green
Kawhi Leonard
LaMarcus Aldridge
Tim Duncan

Warriors
Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Harrison Barnes
Draymond Green
Andrew Bogut

Cavaliers
Kyrie Irving
JR Smith
LeBron James
Kevin Love
Timofey Mosgov

Clippers
Chris Paul
Lance Stephenson (JJ Redick)
Paul Pierce
Blake Griffin
DeAndre Jordan

Rockets
Ty Lawson
James Harden
Trevor Ariza
Donatas Motiejunas
Dwight Howard

Thunder
Russell Westbrook
Anthony Morrow
Kevin Durant
Serge Ibaka
Enes Kanter (Steven Adams)

I put a couple in parenthesis when there was a bit of uncertainty at who would start. Wow. These 6 teams are LOADED. The West is going to be such a bloodbath, assuming the injury luck is a lot better than last year. I don't think anyone else has a very strong case, but feel free to add a team.

It will be interesting how that small ball Warriors team looks against a healthy Spurs, Rockets, Cavs, or Clippers.

Cavs, and I hate saying this... but maybe the Clippers. Their starting 5 is brutal (I'd put Redick over Lance bc he was trash last year). They just have no depth.

Spurs are probably 3rd.

Clippers got depth this offseason. They also added Josh Smith, which I hate.

Kawhi Leonard has not made an All-Star team. So they don't have "4 legit all stars."

Yeah but Josh Smith will kill all their offensive possessions and ruin team chemistry. I give it a month before Paul punches him in the face.

False. Best SG in the league. Best C in the league (when healthy - look at these last playoffs), Top 10 PG, 3 and D SF, and PF who has arguably the most polished post game in the league.

Just like he ruined the Rockets? Oh yeah. He didn't.
