    :dunno: I'd say it all comes down to which team has the owner most paranoid about money. NO and Utah could both see a downgrade in their talent base.

    Dallas has money and the Spurs have brains, so it won't be either of them!

    I'd say that injuries will play the most important role in determining which teams fall out of the playoff race next season...just as they did this year.

    Expand the poll to provide at least some choice as I expect all 4 of those teams to be better and definitely in the playoffs next year.

    I don't know about the Suns coming back next year. O'Neal most likely won't be back for the whole year. Nash seems to be on the decline, and really needs D'Antoni to be anywhere to close to his former MVP self. And hell, they damn well near traded so the front office isn't exactly stable at the moment.

    I think the Suns are going to blow it up.
