Spurs Top Preseason Rankings

For what it's worth, Kenny Smith ranks the Spurs best in the West, followed by Phoenix, Dallas, Utah, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles and Oakland.

They really didn't add much to their team. Why? Because the foreign legion team of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan is still the best. (Yes, Duncan is from the Virgin Islands, but they're foreign to me!) Depth, youth and experience makes them the blueprint franchise.

The Spurs are also top-ranked on InsideHoops.com, Sporting News, HOOPSWORLD, and by some guy who calls himself J-DIZZLE.
