EAST OVERALL

91 Heat - They're putting the finishing touches on one of the most significant power balance shifts in NBA history.

86 Bulls - Adding Boozer gives them the post presence they've been looking for all decade, but where are the 3pt shooters?

85 Bucks - Team won 46 last year, took Hawks to 7 without Andrew Bogut, and added Maggette and Gooden to the roster.

83 Celtics - The big three are back, but they'll have their hands full with a revamped conference and an injured Kendrick Perkins.

83 Bobcats - Honestly, I'm very interested in seeing how Shaun Livingston plays for Larry Brown. Livingston has length and loves to defend.

82 Magic - Orlando downgraded from Barnes/J-Will to Q-Rich/Duhon.

81 Hawks - Unless they can sign Shaq, they re-signed Joe Johnson to the max in order to contend for the 5th/6th seed for the next 5 years.

81 Sixers - Turner will bring this flawed team back to playoffs

79 Knicks - It's gonna take more than swapping David Lee for Amare Stoudemire to get this bunch to the playoffs.

78 Pacers - Need to get off their ass and do something before it's too late.

77 Nets - Quietly improved their bench but shouldn't be looking at much more than 30 wins.

76 Pistons - Can they blow this team up already?

74 Wizards - Team has three PGs and might be starting Yi Jianlian. Balance issues much?

72 Cavaliers - Added Sessions and Hollins, but they're not done tearing it down yet. Trading Anthony Parker should be next.

71 Raptors - Is it any coincidence that two teams became the worst in the league in order to make one a super team?

WEST OVERALL

87 Lakers - Adding Matt Barnes to a team that has Artest/Odom/Gasol up front is just another case of the rich getting richer.

84 Blazers - Return to health makes them as dangerous as any western power.

84 Rockets - Yao's return will be much anticipated.

84 Nuggets - Al Harrington is a big upgrade over Malik Allen, but the question always is: Will they defend?

84 Thunder - Can they improve from within again, or will they suffer some regression?

83 Spurs - They are caught in a weird place... their playoff run (upset of 2nd seed, but swept by 3rd seed) leaves many questions about whether they're a contender or also-ran.

83 Mavericks - Not to hate, but if Shawn Marion is their 7th man in only the 2nd season of his 5 year contract, then that was a god-awful signing (which was my sentiment exactly a year ago).

82 Jazz - They replaced Boozer with Big Al, but the bench is still thin and Mehmet Okur's health is questionable.

81 Grizzlies - They improved their depth, but still a starless team despite doling out a max contract to Rudy Gay. They still need many other teams to get worse in order to sniff playoffs.

81 Hornets - They have done next to nothing since draft night, which has lead to a league-wide CP3 watch.

81 Clippers - Blake Griffin returns, but they just aren't talented enough to make noise.

80 Warriors - David Lee gives the Warriors a legit all-star and front court talent they honestly haven't seen since rookie C-Webb, but teams need more than D-Leaguers on the bench to make the playoffs.

79 Kings - Cousins and Dalembert immediately shore up the C position, but PG and SF are still huge weaknesses.

76 Suns - Sorry, but all those Phoenix role players are going to see their 3pt percentages drop quite a bit without an interior presence like Amare getting them open looks. Nash still had Shawn Marion when Amare went down in 2006. Suns have nothing close to a 2nd star, unless we are including Grant Hill's career achievements.

74 Wolves - They gave away their best player for draft picks, but they will be better this year. Of course, it's not tough to improve upon 15 wins, and they are still the overwhelming favorites to be the worst team in the conference.
