They are the newest super team in the league. They rank fourth purely based on the talent on display with Howard, Harden, Parsons, Asik and Jeremy Lin. However they lack bench strength with Asik being the only one who looks like he can have an above average season.

Don’t be shocked if this new super team fails to click, because we all know from the Lakers show last season that along with multiple talents, you need chemistry to make the team a success and one that can threaten the two time defending champions the Miami Heat.
