Which teams (if any) at the bottom of the League has the best chance of making the playoffs next season?

Question

Celtics
Bobcats
Hawks
76ers
Grizzlies
Sonics
Portland

Answer 1

The Sonics have some great players, they've just had injury troubles all year.

The Hawks should make a good run as soon as they find a point guard and maybe a new center too, Jo-Jo and Josh Smith are fantastic.

The Bobcats could make a run soon, they will need to get some more scorers in the offseason though.

Celtics will probably be one of the most interesting teams next year, Al Jefferson and Delonte West have both come into their own, and once their two best scorers are off the injury list the only position with a ? will be Center. If they win the lottery though Greg Oden will probably fill that hole.

The Grizzlies won't be better next year, in fact they will probably be worse after having to firesale Gasol.

The Sixers will still be in post Iverson rebuilding mode, unless they land a big free agent or ready-to-start draft pick.

The Trail Blazers rookies (Roy, Alrdridge, Rodriguez) have shown fantastic potential, but they may take a few more years to develop.

Answer 2

If McNabb continues to be healthful (and would not get traded to the Bears lol) the Eagles and the Cowboys should be combating it out for the branch. Giants in hardship-free words play properly for 0.5 a season, and the Redskins are far remote from a prevailing franchise. With NFC communities making the playoffs the perfect few years with 8-8 and 9-7 information, it really is huge open. NFC East had 3 communities contained in the playoffs very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days: Eagles 10-6 Cowboys 9-7 Giants 8-8 huge open, something is available.

Answer 3

If the 76ers keep Andre Miller, then they have the best chance of making the playoffs next season. That division is weak, and the team started winning games when they acquired him as part of the Iverson trade.

If the 76ers don't keep Miller, then none of the listed teams have a prayer of making the playoffs.

Answer 4

The Bobcats. They've been constantly plagued by injuries the last two years to notable players like Gerald Wallace and Brevin Knight. But, this has led to the development of other players like Matt Carroll which, in turn, leads to a deeper bench. With Felton running the point, Wallace at the 3 and Okafor at the 4/5, don't count them out.

Answer 5

Grizzlies. gasol was out early and all they have to do is add a small part in thedraft. They were a pretty good team before, so I think they'll improve over the offseason.

Answer 6

Denver Nuggets

Answer 7

I am going to have to say the Hawks because they sure are winning alot of games lately. I don't know about the other teams because I don't really watch them play.
