Is this your list or did you get it from somewhere? Either way it looks pretty good. I would put Boston at #2 in the East though and bump everyone else down a notch, then I'd call it good. With Horford, I think the Celtics will be better than Toronto, if only by a hair.
As for the West, I have this crazy prediction that Utah will come out 3rd and go to the WCF, but that's probably a pipe dream. I would personally take Dallas out of the West and insert Houston in their spot; everything else seems to be in order.

11 - Wolves
12 - Lakers
13 - Denver


Denver won 33 games last year with Wilson Chandler missing the entire season, Gallo only playing 53 games, Nurkic only playing 32 games and missing an entire offseason to improve. Already down 30Lbs so far.

Denver started a 19 year old rookie PG who skipped college and got hurt overseas before the draft so had 7-8 games of pro experience, a 21 year old 2nd year SG who barely played his rookie season, a 20 year old rookie C coming straight from Europe to the NBA.

D.J Augustine is our only loss. We've kept everybody else. Jokic just won MVP in the Olympic qualifying tournament, Gallo's healthy playing for Italy, Chandler is due back. Mudiay/Harris/Nurkic are all set to improve. Denver's a safe bet to atleast win 5-6 more games than last year which would put them at 38-39 wins. That's assuming Gallo gets hurt again, and Chandler doesn't play a full season or else who knows.

Lakers signed Mozgov and Deng. Russell, rookie Ingram, and Larry Nance improving? They won 17 games last season :oldlol: Denver played just as many young guys and won 16 more games, with more injury issues. Will Barton is only a year older than Jordan Clarkson as well.
