Not as much optimism for the Raptors' prowess as some fans on this site have:

Either these folks don't know what they're talking about (possibly) or they're closer to the truth about the Raptors' playoff chances than some of the non-tanking (I mean non-rebuild) folks here do.
Eastern Conference
1) Heat
2) Pacers
3) Bulls
4) Nets
5) Knicks
6) Hawks
7) Wizards
8) Cavaliers
9) Pistons
10) Raptors...(ranked 22nd out of 30 NBA teams)
Myself, i think some of the impacts of key player additions on many of the 6-10 spot bubble teams in the East might be overstated, conversely some Raptor fans are probably underestimating the compete of these teams for the upcoming seasons.
