To me - they addressed small ball defense by trading for Paschall and signing Yag (keep this here lol - this is supposed to say G*y). Quinn is a good enough coach I think to figure out the disaster of last year.
Clippers and Nuggets are down star players all year.
Lakers are healthy for now.
I think suns had kind of a fluky year - I see them about even with the jazz.
I think they will be once again in the top 4 in the west and should make it at the very least into the 2nd round as slight favorites against whoever
