Since adding Kevin Durant this offseason, the Golden State Warriors should be unanimously pegged as the best team in the NBA. Despite the hit their size and rim protection has taken after losing Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli, it’s almost impossible to argue otherwise.

That includes the LA Clippers.
ESPN’s Kevin Pelton (Insider access is needed for the article, unfortunately) has created projections for next season based on real plus-minus.
