Minnesota Timberwolves
New GM David Kahn overhauled the backcourt in his first offseason on the job, dealing Randy Foye, Mike Miller and Sebastian Telfair and replacing them with rookies Jonny Flynn, Wayne Ellington and the still-unsigned Ricky Rubio. The frontcourt is more stable with Al Jefferson returning from a torn ACL and Kevin Love ready to become a full-time starter in his second season.

How is that a joke? The Lakers added Artest.. The Spurs added Jefferson, McDyess, Blair, Bogans, and even good old Theo Ratliff.

This is a fairly old article with the Knicks ranked so high based on them being able to sign Sessions, and the Thunder could definitely be a pretty good team next year.

The point is that Lakers are the defending champions and Artest is supposed to be an upgrade over Ariza. And it is not like they were lucky champions. They owned.

Spurs had a great off-season but i think it is way too much and way too early to put them on top of the ranking.

adding McDyess Theo Ratliff and Blair all with injury concerns past/present to a team that has Duncan and Manu with their own injury issues in the last few seasons is a little odd to be bragging up. Huge additions if none of them break down... but seriously can you assume none of those guys will miss time due to injury?

Lakers are a solid option to repeat, no question about it. Artest is a vast improvement over Ariza and Khloe will be to LA what Eva is to SA and Lima is to Memphis. A+ offseason for LA.

Did you just compare Khloe to Eva? Nasty to overrated?

I am willing to bet I can think of 10 NBA wives/gf's that are better then Eva or Khloe.

Eva may be overrated, but at least she's attractive. Khloe is gross.

yes, it was intended to be disturbing, as disturbing as Iversons first wife. i can think of 10 NBA players that are prettier women then Khloe

I am not saying they are better than the Lakers. But saying that it's a joke that they are ranked #1 is over doing it. Having the Knicks or even our Wolves ranked #1 would be a joke. Having the Spurs ranked #1 is just ranking them 1-2 spots too high. Not a big deal.

*I just now glanced through the rankings. Ha, I now see that my first post was pretty much repeating what he said. I assumed that this guy had the Lakers 2nd.
I'd say my top 5 would be: Lakers, Spurs, Magic, Celtics, Cavs
