Using the player data at NBA Geek and pulling each team's starting five (plus sixth man) from the depth charts at ESPN (with a dash of common sense), I took a stab at projecting each teams' finish next year.

(Insert caveat's and mea culpa's here. Some of the biggies:

• I used last year's WP numbers. If a former NBA player didn't play last year (Kirilenko, for instance), I used the WP numbers from 2011. If a team is expected to give a rookie extended playing time, I penciled the rookie in for .05 WP/48, except for Kidd-Gilchrist (.100), and Anthony Davis (.150).
• I used my own judgement to pick each team's sixth man.
• I gave little to no credit to any team's bench, to the detriment of deep teams like the wolves and knicks (esp. the knicks)
  
• If a player is injured to start the year (Rubio, Avery Bradley, D. Rose), I left them off entirely.
• If you add up all the wins, you get three more than exist in a regular-length season. Feel free to take those three wins away from a team you don't like.)
  

All that said, there are some big take-aways from this game: In the east: Brooklyn probably won't make the playoffs, Milwaukee should, and New York's bench is scary good. In the west: Denver joins OKC in the title hunt, the Lakers won't be as good as the pundits think, and you can pencil in our Pups for a four (4!) seed. Numbers after the jump.

If you want to muck about more, you can view a fugly PDF of the work here. If you want to know the results if I swap players, like trading D-will for Varejao, let me know in the comments.

Cheers.
