I think the best teams (as of now) in the West are:
(1) Spurs
(2) Lakers (if they get a healthy Bynum, they move to 3
(3) Jazz
(4) Mavericks (if they can sign Jamaal Magloire, move them ahead of the Jazz)
(5) Suns - This team just got old and rusty.
(6) New Orleans
(7) Houston
(8) Golden State/Denver
