This is honestly a very tough question, because I don't know how evrything will shape out. I don't have much of a loyalty to any single team; instead I like to follow players. Whoever my favorite players are playing with, I usually go with that team. Now with all the switches that have happend recently, I really don't know.
Normally I'd be inclined to go with my home team, which is the Rockets, but I don't much like the way they are shaping out right now. They may do very well next season, but they may do terrible as well. Either way, I'm probably going to watch most every game, but I am not a big fan of the team. I don't particularly like Tmac.
A few of the teams that I would consider rooting for this year would be the Miami Heat, L.A. Lakers, Philladelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, and Sacramento Kings.
The Orlando Magic may be my first choice, because for the last five to six years I have been growing up on Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley, and have grown to like them quite a bit; perhaps the best backourt in the league. Since I've been following them for so long, I will probably watch every Magic game that I get the chance. Also, Kelvin Cato has just recently begun improving drastically. It's a shame to watch all of those players leave Houston. Plus, with the addition of Dwight Howard, and if Grant Hill stays healthy, the Magic may very well be the top team in the east. It just depends on how the Rocket's player's transition goes.
Now, Miami has Shaq. It's a shame that they lost a bunch of players, but they have Shaq. Shaq is still one of the most dominant force in the lague, and when he gets pissed off, he is quite fun to watch. I hated seeing Rafer Alston leave from that team, because I thought he was a great roll player. I think he's playing for the Raptors now.
LA and Philadelphia both have some of the most exciting players to watch, namely Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. I'm a big fan of both of those players, and wherever there game takes them, I'll follow them as much as possible.
Now Sacramento has always had a good team, but I've never been a fan of Peja. I'm hearing rumors of him and Carter being traded, and that would be great. With Mike Bibby, Vinsanity, and Chris Webber, the Kings will be a great team to watch, and a powerhouse in the west.
It's a tough choice, but if I had to pick a team right now, I'd go with the Magic.
