2-Chicago. They should be good enough to grab 2nd place in this watered down Division. Nate Robinson was a nice pickup and Kirk Hinrich is a decent backup. If they Amnesty Boozer, all bets are off. They’ll be a lottery team. Taj Gibson is an energy guy off the bench, not a starter.

3-Milwaukee. The Bucks have an all or nothing backcourt, but they are a better overall team than the Cavs and Pistons.

4-Cleveland. A year away from being a .500 team/borderline playoff team.

5-Detroit. This is the year Joe gets fired….
