Wow. The Kings and Lakers rate better? The Kings rating is optimistic but not outrageous because Boogie. The Lakers score is a joke. Got to sell magazines I guess. The Wolves rating is rather dubious too

As for the Pels, C, PG and SG ratings should be higher. SF should be much lower. 42.5 is on the very low end, but it's fair. This is a 6 man team that has obvious flaws and question marks within that group. 42-52 is the range I see.

It mainly comes from the coaching grade. The Lakers were given a 7.0 and the Kings a 6.5. If the Pelicans got a 7.0, they would be over both of those teams. So I guess they are saying that the Pelicans have more talent, but coaching is costing them..

I think the Lakers are better than you think. They had the most amount of injuries in the league last season. If they are healthy (a big if), they have a lot of experience and balance. They get back Nash and Bryant. They lost Gasol (who was injured a lot last year anyway). But they added Lin, Boozer and Randle. I could see them being .500..
