I am going to step out on a limb and say that the Lakers are now the best team in the West. With the addition of Pau Gasol today, they are over the hump.
They now have two players who demand a double team, a decent supporting cast (esp. in Luke Walton, Andrew Bynum, and the injured Trevor Ariza), and a good coach (although coaches are highly overrated). Ole.
With that said, this is how I rank the West heading into the All-Star break:
1 Lakers
2 Mavs
3 Hornets
4 Suns
5 Spurs
6 Jazz
7 Nuggets
8 Blazers
