Offseason Power Rankings

Things are fluid now that the NBA Free Agency period has begun as of July 1, so we thought we'd provide you with weekly power rankings for the offseason. As teams make moves, we move them up and down the ladder on a daily basis.

The 2011-12 regular season and playoff records are shown in parentheses. Draft picks are recognized by the numbers sign (#). Players that re-sign with their own teams are listed in the Keepers category, while players that join and leave respective teams are noted in the Additions or Subtractions sections. Restricted Free Agents--a.k.a. RFA--are listed under Possible Additions or Possible Subtractions, since their former team has the right to match any signed offers by July 14. UFA stands for Unrestricted Free Agents. All free agent signings--which don't become official until July 11--are linked to source stories.

POWER RANKINGS (as of July 12, 2012)

1. MIAMI HEAT (46-20 season; 16-7 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The rich get richer, with Miami signing former All-Stars and Sonics teammates Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis to fill the 12th and 13th slots on the roster. The only second-stringers the Heat may lose from the 2012 championship team are free agent Ronny Turiaf and Mike Miller, who may retire ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF LeBron James, SG Dwyane Wade, C Chris Bosh, PG Mario Chalmers, SF Shane Battier, SG Ray Allen ... ADDITIONS: SG Ray Allen (3 years, $9 million), PF Rashard Lewis (2 years, $2.8 million), C Justin Hamilton (#45) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 1

2. LOS ANGELES LAKERS (41-25 season; 5-7 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Now that the Lakers have Steve Nash running the point, they don't need to trade Pau Gasol. They don't even need to place hope in a Bynum-for-Howard three-team deal. Nash solves all of the Lakers' chemistry and offensive woes, making L.A. once again the team to beat out West. Sorry, OKC! ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Pau Gasol, SG Kobe Bryant, C Andrew Bynum, PG Steve Nash, SF Metta World Peace, SF Matt Barnes (UFA) ... ADDITIONS: PG Steve Nash (3 years, $27 million), SG Darius Johnson-Odom (#55), C Robert Sacre (#60) ... KEEPERS: SF Devin Ebanks (1 year, $1.4 million), PG Darius Morris ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 7

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER (47-19 season; 13-7 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Thunder's main concern is unloading $10 million worth of contracts by next season so they can sign James Harden and Serge Ibaka to annual $10-$13 million extensions. OKC signed Hasheem Thabeet and two rookies so that they could shave $4 million in 2012-13 salaries by letting Nazr Mohammed, Derek Fisher and Royal Ivey go as free agents. Next, you may see Kendrick Perkins, Daequan Cook and/or Cole Aldrich as the next to be dealt ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Kevin Durant, PG Russell Westbrook, SG James Harden, PF Serge Ibaka, C Kendrick Perkins, SG Thabo Sefolosha ... ADDITIONS: C Hasheem Thabeet (2 years), PF Perry Jones (#28), PF Hollis Thompson (3 years, $2.2 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 2

4. SAN ANTONIO SPURS (50-16 season; 10-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Spurs have 13 players from last year's team under contract, with the last two spots probably going to Patty Mills and France Olympian guard Nando De Colo ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Tony Parker, C Tim Duncan, SG Manu Ginobili, SF Kawhi Leonard, PF Boris Diaw, SF Stephen Jackson ... ADDITIONS: SG Marcus Denmon (#59) ... KEEPERS: C Tim Duncan (3 years, $36 million), PF Boris Diaw (2 years, $9 million), SG Danny Green (3 years, $11 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 3

5. BOSTON CELTICS (39-27 season; 11-9 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Jason Terry replace Ray Allen, Celtics add Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo and Jeff Green and reloads for another run ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Rajon Rondo, SF Paul Pierce, C Kevin Garnett, PF Brandon Bass, SG Jason Terry, SG Avery Bradley ... ADDITIONS: SG Jason Terry (3 years, $15 million), SF Jeff Green (4 years, $24 million), PF Jared Sullinger (#21), C Fab Melo (#22), SF Kris Joseph (#51) ... KEEPERS: C Kevin Garnett (3 years, $34 million), PF Brandon Bass (3 years, $20 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Ray Allen ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 5

6. CHICAGO BULLS (50-16 season; 2-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Bulls have made it clear C.J. Watson and Ronnie Brewer will not be back and they have two more days to match the Rockets' 3-year, $30 million offer to Omer Asik ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Luol Deng, PF Carlos Boozer, C Joakim Noah, SG Richard Hamilton, PF Taj Gibson, PG Kirk Hinrich ... ADDITIONS: PG Kirk Hinrich (3 years, $9 million), PG Marquis Teague (#29) ... POSSIBLE SUBTRACTION ... C Omer Asik (RFA offer with Rockets) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 4

7. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (40-26 season; 4-7 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: While their main concern now is Blake Griffin's knee, the Clippers upgraded at two key spots, with Lamar Odom replacing Reggie Evans as first big off the bench, while Jamal Crawford replaces Mo Williams as first guard off the bench ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Blake Griffin, PG Chris Paul, PG Chauncey Billups, SF Caron Butler, C DeAndre Jordan, PF Lamar Odom ... ADDITIONS: PF Lamar Odom, SG Jamal Crawford (3 years, $15.7 million) ... KEEPERS: Blake Griffin (5 years, $95 million), PG Chauncey Billups (1 year, $4.3 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Reggie Evans, PG Mo Williams ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 8

8. INDIANA PACERS (42-24 season; 6-5 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Pacers have been saving up for this rainy day and were able to give free agent starters Roy Hibbert and George Hill the paydays they deserve. Indiana now has nine players signed--including all their starters--at only $53 million in salaries ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Danny Granger, SG Paul George, C Roy Hibbert, PF David West, PG George Hill, PF Tyler Hansbrough ... ADDITIONS: C Ian Mahinmi (4 years, $16 million), SG Gerald Green, C Miles Plumlee (#26), SG Orlando Johnson (#36) ... KEEPERS: Roy Hibbert (4 years, $58 million), George Hill (5 years, $40 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG A.J. Price, SG Dahntay Jones ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 6

9. NEW YORKS KNICKS (36-30 season; 1-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Knicks unofficially are keeping Jeremy Lin and may also match Landry Fields' offer with the Raptors. If they do so, the Knicks will have the deepest team in basketball ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Carmelo Anthony, PF Amare Stoudemire, C Tyson Chandler, Jeremy Lin (RFA), SG Landry Fields (RFA), PG Jason Kidd ... ADDITIONS: PG Jason Kidd (3 years, $9 million), C Marcus Camby (3 years, $13 million), PG Pablo Prigioni (1 year, $473,000), SF James White (1 year, $1.4 million), SF Kostas Papanikoaou (#48) ... KEEPERS: SF Steve Novak (4 years, $15 million), SG J.R. Smith (2 years, $5.6 million) ... POSSIBLE SUBTRACTIONS: PG Jeremy Lin (RFA offer from Rockets), SG Landry Fields (RFA offer from Raptors) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Josh Harrellson, PG Toney Douglas, C Jerome Jordan ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 14

10. BROOKLYN NETS (22-44 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Nets opened the bank vault for their Brooklyn 2012-13 housewarming--signing Deron Williams and Brook Lopez to max contracts, acquiring Joe Johnson's max contract and inking Gerald Wallace to an eight-figure contract ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Deron Williams, SF Gerald Wallace, SG Joe Johnson, C Brook Lopez, PF Kris Humphries (UFA), PF Mirza Teletovic ... ADDITIONS: SG Joe Johnson, PF Mirza Teletovic (3 years, $9 million), PF Reggie Evans (3 years, $5 million), PG Tyshawn Taylor (#41), SF Tornike Shengelia (#54), PF Ilkan Karaman (#57), SG Jerry Stackhouse (1 year, $1.35 million) ... KEEPERS: PG Deron Williams (5 years, $98 million), C Brook Lopez (4 years, $60 million), SF Gerald Wallace (4 years, $40 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Anthony Morrow, PF Jordan Williams, SG Gerald Green, PG Jordan Farmar, SG DeShawn Stevenson, C Johan Petro ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 25

11. MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (41-25 season; 3-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Grizzlies have handled all of their major transactions so far, with the exception of perhaps facilitating a sign-and-trade for O.J. Mayo, who won't be back in Memphis ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Rudy Gay, C Marc Gasol, PG Mike Conley, PF Zach Randolph, SG Tony Allen, SG Quincy Pondexter ... ADDITIONS: PG Jerryd Bayless (2 years), PG Tony Wroten Jr. (#25) ... KEEPERS: PF Darrell Arthur (3 years, $9 million), PF Marreese Speights (2 years, $9 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 9

12. ATLANTA HAWKS (40-26 season; 2-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: New GM Danny Ferry has streamlined the Hawks, getting rid of the cumbersome contracts of Joe Johnson (4 years, $89 million) and Marvin Williams (2 years, $16 million) and turning them into bang-for-buck assets Devin Harris, Louis Williams, Anthony Morrow and Jordan Williams. The Hawks now have only three players on the books for the 2013-14 season and can still probably play 60 percent ball in the 2012-13 season. Great moves by Ferry ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Josh Smith, C Al Horford, PG Jeff Teague, PG Devin Harris, SG Louis Williams, SF Anthony Morrow ... ADDITIONS: SG Louis Williams, PG Devin Harris, SG Anthony Morrow, PF Jordan Williams, SG DeShawn Stevenson, C Johan Petro, SG John Jenkins (#23), PF Mike Scott (#43) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Joe Johnson, SF Marvin Williams ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 11

13. DENVER NUGGETS (38-28 season; 3-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Nuggets are happy with their young team, most of which is under contract. They have already reached agreement with veteran leader Andre Miller and just need to re-sign restricted free agent JaVale McGee to keep these Nuggets intact ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Ty Lawson, SG Arron Afflalo, PG Andre Miller, SF Danilo Gallinari, PF Kenneth Faried, C JaVale McGee (RFA) ... ADDITIONS: SG Evan Fournier (#20), SF Quincy Miller (#38), PF Izzet Turkyilmaz (#39) ... KEEPERS: Andre Miller (3 years) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 12

14. DALLAS MAVERICKS (36-30 season; 0-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Owner Mark Cuban and GM Donn Nelson didn't land Dwight Howard, Deron Williams or Steve Nash, but they did preserve valuable cap space heading into the game-changing 2013-14 season when luxury-cap penalties go through the roof. By getting decent starters on one-year deals--Chris Kaman and Darren Collison--the Mavs remain a playoff team with a very bright future ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Dirk Nowitzki, SF Shawn Marion, SG Vince Carter, C Chris Kaman, PG Darren Collison, PF Brandan Wright ... ADDITIONS: C Chris Kaman (1 year, $8 million), PG Darren Collison, SG Dahntay Jones, SG Jared Cunningham (#24), PF Bernard James (#33), SF Rae Crowder (#34) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Jason Terry, PG Jason Kidd, C Brendan Haywood, C Ian Mahinmi, PF Lamar Odom, SG Kelenna Azubuike ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 15

15. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (23-43 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: With most of their roster now set, the only question left for the Warriors is if--and how--they are going to bring back valuable sixth man Brandon Rush, without going over the luxury tax ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF David Lee, PG Stephen Curry, C Andrew Bogut, SG Klay Thompson, SG Brandon Rush (RFA), SF Richard Jefferson ... ADDITIONS: SF Harrison Barnes (#7), PG Jarrett Jack, C Festus Ezeli (#30), PF Draymond Green (#35), C Ognjen Kuzmic (#52) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SF Dorell Wright ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 24

16. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES (26-40 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Minnesota is trying to work a sign-and-trade with Portland so the T-Wolves can land free agent Nicolas Batum as their starting small forward ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Kevin Love, PG Ricky Rubio, SF Derrick Williams, SG Brandon Roy, C Nikola Pekovic, SF Chase Budinger... ADDITIONS: SG Brandon Roy (2 years, $10.4 million), SF Chase Budinger, SG Alexey Shved, SF Lior Eliyahu, SF Robbie Hummel (#58) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Michael Beasley, PF Anthony Randolph ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 21

17. NEW ORLEANS HORNETS (21-45 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Hornets say they will match the Suns' 4-year, $58 million max offer to Eric Gordon, still leaving New Orleans all kinds of cap room. When that is done, the Hornets can then focus on finding a center ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SG Eric Gordon (RFA), PF Anthony Davis, PF Ryan Anderson, SF Al-Farouq Aminu, PG Greivis Vasquez, PF Jason Smith ... ADDITIONS: PF Anthony Davis (#1), PF Ryan Anderson (4 years, $36 million), SG Austin Rivers (#10, SF Darius Miller (#46), PF Edin Bavcic ... POSSIBLE SUBTRACTION: SG Eric Gordon (RFA offer with Suns) ... SUBTRACTIONS: C Emeka Okafor, SF Trevor Ariza, C Chris Kaman, PF Gustavo Ayon, PG Jarrett Jack ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 28.

18. UTAH JAZZ (36-30 season; 0-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: By trading for Marvin Williams, the Jazz are likely waving bye-bye to unrestricted free agent C.J. Miles, just as the Mo Williams acquisition led to Devin Harris being traded. Look for Utah to deal one of its big men--either Al Jefferson or Paul Millsap--now that Derrick Favors is ready for big playing time ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Paul Millsap, C Al Jefferson, SG Gordon Hayward, PG Mo Williams, PF Derrick Favors, SF Marvin Williams ... ADDITIONS: PG Mo Williams, SF Marvin Williams, SG Kevin Murphy (#47) ... KEEPERS: SF Jeremy Evans (3 years, $5.5 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG Devin Harris ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 16

19. MILWAUKEE BUCKS (31-35 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Bucks may add a backup center to the mix and may bring back free agent Carlos Delfino. But otherwise, their summer moves are pretty much complete ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Brandon Jennings, SG Monta Ellis, PF Ersan Ilyasova, SG Carlos Delfino (UFA), C Samuel Dalembert, SF Mike Dunleavy ... ADDITIONS: C Samuel Dalembert, PF John Henson (#14), SG Doron Lamb (#42) ... KEEPERS: PF Ersan Ilyasova (5 years, $45 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG Shaun Livingston, PF Jon Brockman, PF Jon Leuer ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 19

20. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (35-31 season; 7-6 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Philly is still in the process of remaking its team, so judgment must be held. But after amnestying Elton Brand and trading Louis Williams, the 76ers have taken a step back to create salary-cap space. They now have 10 players signed and are still $10 million under the cap, meaning they could make a run at amnestied Brendan Haywood and another player ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SG Andre Iguodala, PG Jrue Holiday, SF Thaddeus Young, SF Evan Turner, C Spencer Hawes, PF Lavoy Allen ... ADDITIONS: SF Dorell Wright, SG Nick Young (1 year, $6 million), PF Maurice Harkless (#15), PF Arnett Moultrie (#27) ... KEEPERS: C Spencer Hawes (2 years, $13 million), PF Lavoy Allen (2 years, $6 million) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Elton Brand, SG Louis Williams ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 10

21. WASHINGTON WIZARDS (20-46 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: After landing Nene, Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza via trades in 2012, the Wizards roster is pretty much set, although they still are trying to sign a backup guard, like Kirk Hinrich or John Lucas ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG John Wall, SF Trevor Ariza, PF Nene, C Emeka Okafor, SG Bradley Beal, SF Chris Singleton... ADDITIONS: C Emeka Okafor, SF Trevor Ariza, SG Bradley Beal (#3), SF Tomas Satoransky (#32) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Rashard Lewis ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 29

22. ORLANDO MAGIC (37-29 season; 1-4 playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Thankfully new GM Rob Hennigan is in place and will make the Dwight Howard trade that gets the Magic the best rebuilding plan possible in this toxic environment ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: C Dwight Howard, SG J.J. Redick, PG Jameer Nelson, SF Hedo Turkoglu, SG Jason Richardson, PF Glen Davis ... ADDITIONS: PF Gustavo Ayon, PF Andrew Nicholson (#19), PF Kyle O'Quinn (#49) ... KEEPERS: PG Jameer Nelson ... SUBTRACTIONS: PF Ryan Anderson, SG Von Wafer ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 13

23. TORONTO RAPTORS (23-43 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas are welcome additions to Toronto. If they land their offer on Landry Fields too, then the Raptors become a legit playoff contender ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Kyle Lowry, SG DeMar DeRozan, C Andrea Bargnani, PF Amir Johnson, C Jonas Valanciunas, PG Jose Calderon ... ADDITIONS: PG Kyle Lowry, C Jonas Valanciunas (#5 2011), SG Terrence Ross (#8), SF Quincy Acy (#37), PF Tomislav Zubcic (#56) ... POSSIBLE ADDITIONS: SG Landry Fields (RFA offer) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG Jerryd Bayless ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 23

24. SACRAMENTO KINGS (22-44 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Kings missed out on Sacramento native Ryan Anderson, but got a nice consolation prize in their own King free agent Jason Thompson. With their team salary over the league minimum, don't look for thrifty Sacramento to make any big moves ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: C DeMarcus Cousins, PG Isaiah Thomas, SG Marcus Thornton, PF Thomas Robinson, SG Tyreke Evans, PF Jason Thompson ... ADDITIONS: PF Thomas Robinson (#5) ... SUBTRACTIONS: None ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 26

25. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS (28-38 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Rather than overpay to keep restricted free agent Nicolas Batum, the Trail Blazers are working out a sign-and-trade to send him to Minnesota ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF LaMarcus Aldridge, SG Wesley Matthews, SF Nicolas Batum (RFA), PG Damian Lillard, C Meyers Leonard, PF Joel Freeland ... ADDITIONS: PG Damian LIllard (#6), C Meyers Leonard (#11), SG Will Barton (#40), PF Joel Freeland (3 years, $9 million), PF J.J. Hickson (1 year, $4 million), PF Victor Claver ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Jamal Crawford ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 20

26. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (21-45 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Cavs have all kinds of cap room to spend, but most likely will only meet the league minimum and try to land first-round picks from teams looking for cap relief. Expect Cleveland to be patient in the free-agency period and recruit deals in late July, when teams need a third team to facilitate big moves ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PG Kyrie Irving, C Anderson Varejao, PF Antawn Jamison (UFA), PF Tristan Thompson, SG Dion Waiters, C Tyler Zeller ... ADDITIONS: SG Dion Waiters (#4), C Tyler Zeller (#17), SG Kelenna Azubuike ... KEEPERS: PF Luke Harangody ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Anthony Parker, SG Manny Harris ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 27

27. HOUSTON ROCKETS (34-32 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Houston signed Jeremy Lin to a 4-year, $29 million offer sheet, which will likely be matched by the Knicks. Same case with its 3-year, $25 million offer sheet to Omer Asik. If both teams match Houston's offers, the Rockets will be Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, a bunch of small-contract role players and lots of draft picks ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: PF Luis Scola, SG Kevin Martin, SF Chandler Parsons, SG Courtney Lee (RFA), PG Shaun Livingston, PF Josh Harrellson ... ADDITIONS: SG Jeremy Lamb (#12), PF Royce White (#16), PF Terrence Jones (#18), PF Furkan Aldemir (#53), PG Shaun Livingston, PF Josh Harrellson, PF Jon Leuer, PF Jon Brockman, SG Toney Douglas, C Jerome Jordan ... POSSIBLE ADDITIONS: PG Jeremy Lin (RFA offer), C Omer Asik (RFA offer) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG Kyle Lowry, C Samuel Dalembert, C Marcus Camby, SF Chase Budinger, PG Goran Dragic, SF Lior Eliyahu ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 17

28. DETROIT PISTONS (25-41 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The Pistons are already at $62 million, which is $5 million more than their 2011-12 budget, so don't expect Detroit to be players in the free-agent frenzy at all. Summer 2013 is their plan to hit the market ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SF Tayshaun Prince, PG Brandon Knight, C Greg Monroe, PG Rodney Stuckey, SF Corey Maggette, PF Jonas Jerebko ... ADDITIONS: SF Corey Maggette, C Andre Drummond (#9), SF Khris Middleton (#39), SG Kim English (#44), C Vyacheslav Kravtsov ... SUBTRACTIONS: SG Ben Gordon ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 22

29. PHOENIX SUNS (33-33 season; playoffs) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: The bad news is Phoenix lost Steve Nash. The good news is ... well, there is no good news, unless you consider the "Goran Dragic and Michael Beasley are Suns starters" headlines good news. Phoenix is in trouble!. It's also doubtful they'll likely see their 4 year, $58 million max offer to Eric Gordon go through. The Hornets will likely match it by July 14 ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: C Marcin Gortat, SF Jared Dudley, PG Goran Dragic, PF Channing Frye, SF Grant Hill (UFA), PF Michael Beasley ... ADDITIONS: PG Goran Dragic (4 years, $34 million), PF Michael Beasley (3 years, $18 million), PG Kendall Marshall (#13) ... POSSIBLE ADDITION: SG Eric Gordon (RFA offer) ... SUBTRACTIONS: PG Steve Nash ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 18

30. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS (7-59 season) ... SUMMER SUMMARY: Charlotte will likely conserve its cap space, but will probably offer a $5-to-$7 million contract to a respected veteran like Charlotte native Antawn Jamison or someone who doesn't get the payday they were expecting ... MAIN MINUTEMEN: SG Ben Gordon, SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, PG D.J. Augustin (RFA), SG Gerald Henderson, PG Kemba Walker, C Byron Mullens ... ADDITIONS: SG Ben Gordon, SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (#2), SG Jeff Taylor (#31) ... SUBTRACTIONS: SF Corey Maggette, SF Jamario Moon ... 2011-12 TOTAL-WINS RANK: 30
