Porzingis do tend to get hurt a lot, and I assume he would play an important role on the Hawks roster if they are to be a contender. So I understand your concerns.

I originally had the Hawks as a contender. I'm a little worried about their durability, but I think their ceiling is there.

Nice format. I like it a lot.

For the East, I would put Rators on the Play-in category and put Hornets in Tank. But I'm hugely biased, so we have that. I would also put Hawks as Contenders and put Pistons down to Challengers. Man, the Celtics have fallen so much so quick...

For the West, I'll put Spurs into the challengers bracket and put Lakers into play-in. The Lakers roster stink and LeBarbie is taking up half of the team's salary cap. The Lakers will only become relevant after LeBarbie retires and they get the cap space to put good pieces around Luka to build a real team.
