Good question. To be honest I am not quite sure. There are 4 main teams I see that have a shot.
First: Dallas Mavericks - They tried to make a move by trading Van Exel for Jameson, and that means they are trying to make themselves a "bigger" team with better defense. If they can allow him to settle into the correct role by adding some defense and not loosing too much offense, I think they have a real shot at winning it all.
Second: LA Lakers - They have an incredible lineup no doubt. However, two things, first, how will they handle the whole Kobe thing, and second, there are a lot of "big egos" on that team, and I am not sure how well they will all "mesh".
Third: Sacramento Kings - If everyone can stay healthy then I think they can make a pretty good run.
Fourth: San Antonio Spurs - They have a good defense and offense. And if Tony Parker can play well enough, then they got a good shot, especially when you got a guy like Duncan.
Wild Card: I think this years wild card will be Minnesota Timberwolves. I think they have a lot of talent, it just all has to come together for them. Only then will they make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
What does everyone else think?
