While there are some roster issues that still need sorting out, the NBA free agency frenzy is largely over.

Some teams vaulted up the NBA totem pole with a few fantastic moves (Brooklyn), while others fell to the bottom of the barrel with haphazard signings (Suns).

We ranked all the teams from 1 to 30, based on who would be the best if the season started right this second.

1. Miami Heat (rising)

Key Pick-ups: Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen

Key Subtractions: None

Best five: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Mario Chalmers

If you can believe it, the Heat improved dramatically this offseason, adding to former All-Stars that are great at exactly what the Heat need — three-point shooting.



2. Oklahoma City Thunder (staying the same)

Key Pick-ups: Hasheem Thabeet (not really key, but okay)

Key Subtractions: None

Best five: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Serge Ibaka, Thabo Sefolosha

Last year's Finals was a learning experience that should take this young team to a whole new level.



3. San Antonio Spurs (staying the same)

Key Pick-ups: Nando De Colo, Boris Diaw (re-signed), Danny Green (re-signed)

Key Subtractions: None

Best five: Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Tim Duncan, Boris Diaw, Gary Neal

San Antonio was the best team in the West last year, but just ran into the OKC buzzsaw in the playoffs. They should have enough left in the tank for make a run in 2012-13.
