For teams on the rise if you mean in the next 3-4 years look for Miami Heat to be a contender once again with a guaranteed Top 4 pick in the draft and also a healthy D-Wade and a newly acquired Shawn Marion. Also, If Larry Brown stays with the Bobcats LONG enough then they will also be a contender barring any front office interference. The Hawks look promising next year, and don't forget what could happen if the Cavs get Lebron some help...The Eastern Conference will definately be an interesting story next season, and the West will be just as competetive...Look for this playoff experience to really help the Hornets out in the next 2-3 years, because San Antonio isn't getting any younger. Tim and Manu aren't getting any younger you know....Same goes with Nash and Shaq...The Nuggets won't play any defense next year and the only REAL competetion in the West is the Lakers,Jazz, and Hornets in the next 2 years IMO....
