in no particular order:
Nets
Lakers
Hawks
Phx
Indiana

Only reason I have Phx in the bottom 5 is that someone in the West besides the Lakers is going to lose to the stronger teams.  I think Phx would probably be a good 8-10 wins better if they were in the East.

Also it was a real toss up between Indy, Orlando and the Bulls but I think the Bulls have a little more experience and talent and I think some of Orlando's youth starts to improve enough to make them better than Indy (but not by much)

Of course this would certainly change should Phx land Kyrie (I think next worst Western team would be Dallas which Phx with Kyrie would surpass) or NY trade Melo (where they'd then be in the general talent area of Indy and Chicago.

A bottom 10 would look like:
Nets
Lakers
Hawks
Phx
Indiana
Chicago
Orlando
Dallas
Sac (I think they're better than some eastern teams but someone in the West has got to lose)
NY (barely edging out NO)

I don't know about the order, but I think that's about right.  2018 draft lottery here we come.

Indiana don't look that bad to be honest. Turner and Oladipo are both good young talents. They have an experienced point guard in Cory Joseph, some good vets in Bogdanovic and Collison. and other young pieces like Leaf and Sabonis. They won't be at the bottom of the East

I respectfully disagree. I think Indiana is a dumpster fire. What did they win like 42 games with PG13, Teague and CJ McCollum? Now without those 3 they added Oladipo (yuk) Sabonis, etc. I think they are lucky if they win 34 games.

CJ McCollum never played for the Pacers except in NBA Live.
2019 historical draft.  Pick 12

Tim Duncan, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Scottie Pippen, Willis Reed, Mitch Richmond, Sam Jones, Dan Majerle, Bob Cousy, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Kemp, Marcus Camby

Bulls aren't bottom 5 until Wade is gone, whenever that may be.

Edit: Looks like Wade isn't going anywhere. He will be in Chicago next year, there's no way they will be bottom 5:

Nets, Suns, Lakers, Magic, Kings

I think you could have figured out it was CJ Miles I was talking about
