NBA mid-summer power rankings

The Top Ten

The champions return with no significant losses to their roster. Even if LeBron needs to sit a little more, in a concession to his age, these guys are still loaded. LBJ, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving certainly look like Big 3, V2.

OK, Tim Duncan has retired, but he wasn’t relevant their past few seasons. Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker are aging gracefully, and LaMarcus Aldridge is hungry for a ring. Kawhi Leonard for MVP?

Our team is shaping up nicely. The roster is balanced and deep. If Jonas Valanciunas improves by 10% on both ends of the floor, and we can stay away from injury woes, a repeat of last season’s 56 wins is within view.
