Coach...or First Class?

10. Heat
The prospect of a healthy 'Zo and Micky Arison's checkbook outweigh a weak fan base and having to succeed Pat Riley.

11. Kings
Geoff Petrie finds energetic players who can shoot and create. If Chris Webber re-signs, this is a dream opportunity.

12. Wizards
The team's short-term fix is severe, but as soon as Michael Jordan has cap room, stars will clamor to play for him.

13. 76ers
Allen Iverson is a handful, but he holds nothing back on the court.

14. Rockets
Gone from champs to third-ranked team in Texas, but have Steve Francis and will have cap room post-Hakeem.

15. Bucks
Combine two All-Stars and Herb Kohl's deep pockets and the sky (no matter how gray in Milwaukee) is the limit.

16. Raptors
It all hinges on Vince Carter. If he opts not to re-sign, all you have are aging vets, disaffected fans and tax headaches.

17. SuperSonics
Uncertainty with new ownership group. Wally Walker's personnel moves have been hit-and-miss.

18. Timberwolves
There's Kevin Garnett and a front office that has proved with Joe Smith it will do anything to win—even at the cost of four first-round picks.

19. Warriors
Three problems: location, location, location. Hard to make headway in the loaded Pacific Division.
