What NBA team will be the "team to watch" this year and why?

i would have to say the wizard and the raptors they made major changes

wizard picked up 2 good players from the timberwolves for practically nothing

and the raptors pick up Hedu which is a great player and jack which is not a great player but still pretty good.

and well you can put the spurs in there too since there healthy now and they got R. Jefferson

I would keep an eye out for the Boston Celtics with their revamped lineup which includes the 6'11" Rasheed Wallace. With Kevin Garnett back in the lineup, this team looks to get back where they were half way through last season.

Also keep an eye on the Lakers again because the acquisition of Ron Artest makes them one of the most stringent defensive units in the NBA. While Artest brings an agressive style of defending, he will have to adjust to being the #4 guy which can be tough. All in all I think the Lakers have a great shot at repeating this year.

Projected NBA Finals 2010: LA Lakers vs. Boston Celtics

Depending on Home Court I say Lakers in 7

The Thunder- before you skip pass this answer you got to look at the young talent they have. They have young stars that will go all out every night. Durant, Westbrook, and Hardan will go all out shooting, passing, and pulling back and slamming it down your throat. give them a few years and they will be a top team. They may be a joke but if you watch now you will see the team of the future.

The Blazers aka the Laker killers

Probably the Orlando Magic because they improved a bit and nearly won this year's playoffs.

The Orlando Magic. I think they got better and deeper for a team that already made the Finals and they dominated in Pre-season.

The Denver Nuggets .
