pistons do but the most intriguin has to be chicago kirk hinrich,ben gordon,luol deng,tyson chandler.eddy curry this actually may be a playoff yr. also watch out for the nuggets theres is nice too soo is utah
I like San Antonio's especially with Brent Barry or Manu coming off the bench, But they need an upgrade at center. Parker Manu Bowen Duncan Rasho The Kings lineup is still great and they still have Bobby jackson coming off the bench Bibby Christie Peja Webber Miller
For starting Lineups, I gotta go with the Suns, even though they have a hole at the C. PG Steve Nash SG Quentin Richardson/Joe Johnson SF Shawn Marion PF Amare Stoudemire C Jake Voshkul 2. Detroit Pistons 3. Sacramento Kings
1. Magic (francis, mobely, hill, gooden/howard, Cato) 2. Chicago (hinrick/crawford, gordan, deng, chandler, curry) 3. Wolves (cassel/hudson, spree, hassel, KG, Johnson) (got them to the finals last year of the west except without a helathy hudson) 4. The Lakers (payton, kobe, butler, odam/malone, divac) 5. Nuggets (miller, lenard, melo, nene/martin, Camby)
Chicago and Orlando? No. Chicago has too many young players in that lineup and I don't see anything too special about Orlando's with the exception of Francis and Mobley. 1.Detroit 2.San Antonio 3.Minnesota 4.Denver 5.Kings
The contenders: 1. San Antonio - (Resigned everyone and Barry is a great boost) 2. Detroit - (Still the champs, Okur wasn't a big factor) 3. Minnesota - (They did better than I thought last year, may be ready to gell) 4. Sacramento - (But getting older every year, CWebb will drag them down) The up and comers, not sure if any of these will break into the top: 1. Miami - (obviously) 2. Denver - (hard to believe the Nuggets could actually be good, but they will) 3. Phoenix - (Nash will rule, but no center at all, fun to watch) 4. Houston - (Great, but Yao still has no stamina, missing a PG) 5. Utah - (Love the K-man, great front line, even if they overpaid for Okur) The incomplete, they will suck with their current rosters but could bump to the top with the right move: 1. Dallas (More talent than anyone, more moves must be made) 2. Lakers (Center is really weak with Divak and Grant, but who knows)
People who are posting about Chicagos lineup, realize this please. Jamal Crawford will be the starting shooting guard as long as he is in a Bulls uniform. Ben Gordon will not start over him. It's not smart starting rookies over someone with experience. But, the best lineup has to be the Pistons. It's the same one they won the title with, so, it's hard to argue against. They have tremendous chemistry and they move the ball and share the ball on a consistent basis. I have to go with them.
The Timberwolves have the best lineup. PG - Cassell SG - Hassell SF - Sprewell PF - Garnett C - Ervin Johnson It doesn't look great, but they probably have the best chemistry in the league.
Denver hands down...they are complete at all positions except the 2 guard, but Voshon is quality too so that wont hurt them much.

Though you are right hopefully we can keep hassel. By matching his offer sheet from portland.
Pistons- Without a question will have the best lineup if R. Wallace resigns. 1.Billups 2.Hamilton 3.Prince 4.B. Wallace 5.R. Wallace Bench Darko( He just needs more time) Corliss McDyess(if healthy) Campbell( good veteran) Denver will be really good in the future if they decide to stick together. The Kings' lineup will be better if they trade Cwebb. He is getting too old. TWolves- Their bench Sucks. Spurs- not even close
