Number 15 should be New Orleans Jerry, not Sacramento. I agree that New Orleans might not be that good this year, but they won't be that bad. Okafor, Kaman, and Landry are pretty good upfront and Eric Gordon is an elite scorer. The Clippers trade will be way better in the long run considering by your predictions they will have 2 lottery picks next year (Hornets and Wolves pick). Daivd Stern made the right call. I wish Stern was running the Wolves when they traded Kevin Garnett.

IMO, this is the best ranking job I've seen of any this preseason by any sportswriter. So many writers get caught up in team's history, as if the Lakers 16 championships are going to come down onto the floor and help them win games... Here's what I got: 1) OKC 2) Dallas 3) Clippers 4) Portland 5) San Antonio 6) Memphis 7) Lakers 8) Denver 9) Wolves 10) Golden State 11) Utah 12) Sacramento 13) Houston 14) Phoenix 15) New Orleans. I think it's possible the Wolves beat out Denver and it's also possible that the Lakers have injury issues and just crumble with their lack of depth. In the words or Bart Scott, CAN'T WAIT!
