I've got no problem with ranking the Kings #5 in the west.
There are questions that the Kings need to adress: injuries, cohesion, etc...
EVERY team cannot be ranked at the top. Most here would concede the 1 and 2 slots to SA and Minnie. Then ESPN went on a limb and predicted improvements for Houston and Denver (who had big offseasons), you can't have teams moving up without someone else being displaced.
5 is fine for the Kings, I think.
But how about 9th and 10th for the Griz and Lakeshow respectively!! Gotta be big noise in LA and Memphis over that...
