2-3 seasons? That's rediculous. We'll be in the playoffs this season. If not then it will be a huge disapointment. Our roster is very deep and we have a lot of talent. If Francis is migraine-free then we have a chance to win 50-games. Minnesota won't make the playoffs (Radoslav Nesterovic and Chauncey Billups are gone, Brandon may not be 100%, and they only have 6 players signed and are $15 million over the salary cap). Seattle may lose Rashard Lewis and Jerome James and was a suprise team last season. Utah is ancient and may lose Donyell Marshall and Bryon Russell. Phoenix, Memphis, Golden State, and Denver don't have a shot at the playoffs. That leaves the LA Lakers, Dallas, Sacramento, and San Antonio 1-4. And Portland, Houston, Utah, Seattle, and the LA Clippers competing for 5-9. As of now, I think were the 7th best team in the West.
