dont see phoenix win this or next year and after that, its over

dallas may have a chance but my bet is on LA or BOS this year (even though I hope the Spurs can make it)
...after that they should compete for like 4-5 more years until dirk declines

dont see toronto win one the next 10 years as bosh is a good player but wont get them the ship nor another big pick

orlando is pretty much stuck at the cap...but I dont want to bet against howards raise to superstardom

same with cleveland...and I'd take lebron over howard if it comes to leading a team

new orleans is another one of this type (a great star, which needs a good enough team to suround him)...I'd take lebron over paul

denver just istn a playoffteam and when iverson and camby are done its over

me bet for the next few years:
bos
la
la
cle

..so I take cleveland

No, because the Sonics suck.

And I think you mean the Oklahoma City Sonics.

calm down everybody!!!

IMHO the west is really hard to come out of:
LA, SA, DAL, PHO, UTA, HOU are the favs...damn...thats between 15% and 20% for each of the teams to go to the finasl (lets say LA and SA have 20% and the others 15% each) and then you have BOS or DET in the finals (sorry LeBron), which should be more rested and at the same level decreasing the chances of these teams even more...giving them between 7% and 10%...thats not much!!!

...and if durant plays a good season ;)

Jazz have this core team together for at least a few more years and they may luck out and fall in between the end of the Spurs/Mavs/Suns dominance and the uprising of the Blazers and steal one somewhere in the next two years.

I picked ORL. They play in the East, and their star player still is young and already a stud. If they can get a decent PG, anything can happen.
