14. San Antonio Spurs
Even though the San Antonio Spurs lost the Kawhi Leonard power struggle, and eventually traded him to the Toronto Raptors, don’t be surprised to see Gregg Popovich and company rally the troops to make another playoff push in the Western Conference.
Adding DeMar DeRozan to a team that still made the playoffs without Kawhi last season seems like a good deal on paper. And if anyone can get the most out of his team, it’s going to be Pop. Which leads me to believe that we could see a better than ever DeRozan.
LaMarcus Aldridge is still in the fold and even though the Spurs lost Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, there is still some decent depth on the roster.
