The Pacific division is oddly stacked this season, or at least it appears to be. The Golden State Warriors are the defending champions. The Phoenix Suns had the best record in the NBA last season. Both teams bring back their rosters mostly intact, and maybe improved.
And speaking of improvement, the Los Angeles Clippers are getting back Kawhi Leonard. Their roster looks built to win in the postseason. The Los Angeles Lakers look messy, but they have LeBron James and Anthony Davis, so you can never count them out. The Sacramento Kings might be better than the Lakers!
