Mine LAC OKC GS HOU SAS MEM PHX UTH ------ NOP SAC PDX DAL LAL MIN DEN I think we start out slow with so many new players and many new roles but pick up a lot of wins later in the season. Other teams will have some injuries and our depth, youth will be an advantage. I had thought we'd be right around 30 wins, maybe my rank implies a couple more. Dallas is hard to rank for me but Wes is coming back from an Achillies and Parsons a micro fracture plus they have poor depth. Dirk can't guard a chair and they'll really miss Tyson again. I don't like the way the Pelicans roster is put together; think their gonna waste the prime years of a perennial MVP candidate as Minnesota did with Garnett. The West is much tougher nowadays. Is Tyreke their second best player? They have no good youth. I'm all in on the Clips; with this kinda bench they might've won it all last year and I think they really step on the gas in the regular season.

You know it's a long offseason when the rank the conference threads start 3 months early. I haven't even had a chance to think about this question. Teams aren't even done making moves...I can't answer without more information, and time to weigh the changes. That being said, one thing is for certain. No matter where the Blazers rank, they are at least one spot or greater ahead of the L*kers.
I agree. Ranking the conference threads and even determining starters is a bit premature at this time. We'll know a lot more about each team after training camp and preseason. Some lineups will change due to injuries and emerging players. At least we'll have a better idea how our players are playing in various lineups. This is certainly going to be a year of growing pains for our team while Stotts formulates an offensive game plan utilizing the strengths of 4 new starters along with Dame. With that said, it's going to be an exciting year!
