Updated Team Rotations for Every Single NBA Team
Most future rotation members have found landing spots during the NBA offseason, and the 30 teams are starting to truly take shape.
So, how is your favorites team's rotation looking right now?
These are the updated team rotations for each and every team in The Association.
Read on to find out which teams look strong and which have work left to do.
Atlanta Hawks
1 of 30Point Guard: Jeff Teague, Devin Harris
Shooting Guard: Lou Williams, John Jenkins, DeShawn Stevenson
Small Forward: Kyle Korver, Anthony Morrow
Power Forward: Josh Smith, Mike Scott
Center: Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia
After trading away Joe Johnson, the Atlanta Hawks will continue to operate with a roster that features a number of players playing out of their natural positions.
Al Horford should continue to start at center when healthy, which allows Josh Smith and Kyle Korver to both enter the starting lineup.
Boston Celtics
2 of 30Point Guard: Rajon Rondo, Keyon Dooling
Shooting Guard: Avery Bradley (injured), Jason Terry, Courtney Lee
Small Forward: Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, Kris Joseph
Power Forward: Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger
Center: Kevin Garnett, Fab Melo
The Boston Celtics won't be able to use Ray Allen in the rotation now that the all-time leading three-point shooter is with the Miami Heat.
However, the vast majority of the rotation will look quite similar to last year's, with the exception of the incoming rookies.
Brooklyn Nets
3 of 30Point Guard: Deron Williams, C.J. Watson
Shooting Guard: Joe Johnson, Marshon Brooks
Small Forward: Gerald Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse
Power Forward: Kris Humphries, Mirza Teletovic
Center: Brook Lopez, Reggie Evans
The Brooklyn Nets roster actually doesn't look much different, with the exception of a few new backups and a shiny new starter in Joe Johnson.
Joe is an offensive stud who will thrive as the second option in the Nets offense and push this team into contention.
Charlotte Bobcats
4 of 30Point Guard: Ramon Sessions, Kemba Walker
Shooting Guard: Ben Gordon, Gerald Henderson
Small Forward: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffery Taylor, Reggie Williams
Power Forward: Byron Mullens, Tyrus Thomas
Center: Bismack Biyombo, Brendan Haywood
The Charlotte Bobcats can't possibly be as bad as they were last year. At least that's what Michael Jordan is telling himself right now.
Although the addition of Ramon Sessions is going to hinder the development of Kemba Walker, Sessions is one of the new players that should make a positive impact for this team. He certainly won't have to worry about freezing up in the playoffs again.
Chicago Bulls
5 of 30Point Guard: Derrick Rose (injured), Kirk Hinrich, Marquis Teague
Shooting Guard: Rip Hamilton, Marco Belinelli
Small Forward: Luol Deng, Jimmy Butler
Power Forward: Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson
Center: Joakim Noah, Nazr Mohammed
This rotation is going to look a lot more deadly once Derrick Rose is healthy and playing at an MVP or near-MVP level once more.
Even while Rose is out, the Chicago Bulls are solid at every position.
Cleveland Cavaliers
6 of 30Point Guard: Kyrie Irving, Jeremy Pargo, Donald Sloan
Shooting Guard: Dion Waiters, Daniel Gibson
Small Forward: Alonzo Gee, Omri Casspi
Power Forward: Tristan Thompson, Samardo Samuels, Luke Harangody
Center: Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller, Jon Leuer
The Cleveland Cavaliers feature a ton of young pieces, but none better than reigning Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving.
There is a bit of a jam in the frontcourt, as Tristan Thompson, Tyler Zeller and Anderson Varejao all deserve playing time.
Dallas Mavericks
7 of 30Point Guard: Darren Collison, Rodrigue Beaubois
Shooting Guard: O.J. Mayo, Delonte West, Dahntay Jones
Small Forward: Vince Carter, Shawn Marion, Jae Crowder
Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki, Elton Brand
Center: Chris Kaman, Bernard James
The Dallas Mavericks didn't seem like they were going to be in great shape after missing out on one point guard after another.
However, trading for Darren Collison and signing both Chris Kaman and Elton Brand remedied any problems that the Mavs might have.
Denver Nuggets
8 of 30Point Guard: Ty Lawson, Andre Miller
Shooting Guard: Arron Afflalo, Evan Fournier
Small Forward: Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Corey Brewer, Jordan Hamilton
Power Forward: Kenneth Faried, Anthony Randolph, Al Harrington
Center: JaVale McGee, Timofey Mozgov, Kostas Koufos
The Denver Nuggets were already one of the deepest and most well-rounded teams in the NBA, and they only got better.
Evan Fournier is capable of making an immediate impact and a full season of Wilson Chandler can only mean good things.
Detroit Pistons
9 of 30Point Guard: Brandon Knight, Will Bynum
Shooting Guard: Rodney Stuckey, Kim English
Small Forward: Corey Maggette, Tayshaun Prince, Kyle Singler
Power Forward: Jason Maxiell, Charlie Villanueva, Jonas Jerebko
Center: Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond
The Detroit Pistons didn't move enough veterans to fully hand this team over to Brandon Knight, Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe, but that should still happen on the court.
Don't expect Andre Drummond to make much of an impact during his rookie season, even if the rest of the young players look good.
Golden State Warriors
10 of 30Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Jarrett Jack
Shooting Guard: Klay Thompson, Brandon Rush
Small Forward: Harrison Barnes, Richard Jefferson
Power Forward: David Lee, Jeremy Tyler
Center: Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli, Andris Biedrins
Drafting Harrison Barnes helped the Golden State Warriors fill in their hole at small forward, so now this roster is solid all the way through.
Then again, the injury gods seem to hate the Dubs.
Houston Rockets
11 of 30Point Guard: Jeremy Lin, Toney Douglas
Shooting Guard: Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb
Small Forward: Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones
Power Forward: Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris, Royce White, JaJuan Johnson
Center: Omer Asik, Donatas Motiejunas
Youth is the name of the game here as Kevin Martin is the only key contributor with many years of experience.
Truthfully though, no one has any idea what the Houston Rockets are doing.
Indiana Pacers
12 of 30Point Guard: D.J. Augustin, George Hill
Shooting Guard: Paul George, Gerald Green
Small Forward: Danny Granger
Power Forward: David West, Tyler Hansbrough
Center: Roy Hibbert, Ian Mahinmi, Miles Plumlee
There will most likely be a training camp battle between D.J. Augustin and George Hill for the starting point guard job, but the rest of the spots in the starting five are locked and loaded.
The Indiana Pacers managed to add some depth at shooting guard and center during the offseason.
Los Angeles Clippers
13 of 30Point Guard: Chris Paul, Eric Bledsoe
Shooting Guard: Chauncey Billups, Jamal Crawford
Small Forward: Caron Butler, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom
Power Forward: Blake Griffin, Trey Thompkins
Center: DeAndre Jordan, Ronny Turiaf
A healthy Chauncey Billups should be a valuable piece in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Clippers, but it's the bench that truly shines.
The acquisitions of Jamal Crawford, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom and Ronny Turiaf give the Clippers one of the best benches in all of the NBA.
Los Angeles Lakers
14 of 30Point Guard: Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Darius Morris
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Andrew Goudelock
Small Forward: Metta World Peace, Christian Eyenga
Power Forward: Pau Gasol, Antawn Jamison
Center: Andrew Bynum, Jordan Hill
The Los Angeles Lakers have arguably the best starting five in the NBA after the addition of Steve Nash.
Antawn Jamison's arrival will also help shore up what should be a relatively lackluster second unit.
Memphis Grizzlies
15 of 30Point Guard: Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless
Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Josh Selby
Small Forward: Rudy Gay, Quincy Pondexter
Power Forward: Zach Randolph, Marreese Speights
Center: Marc Gasol, Hamed Haddadi
The Memphis Grizzlies are going to look pretty similar during the 2012-2013 season when compared to their past rotation.
No pieces in the starting lineup have moved at all.
Miami Heat
16 of 30Point Guard: Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Mike Miller
Small Forward: Shane Battier, Rashard Lewis
Power Forward: LeBron James, Udonis Haslem
Center: Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony
It's about time that we just start listing LeBron James as a power forward, since he seems to be trending towards that position more and more as the games continue to pile up during his career.
The only major changes to the rotation involve Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, with the former expected to make a much larger impact.
Milwaukee Bucks
17 of 30Point Guard: Brandon Jennings, Beno Udrih
Shooting Guard: Monta Ellis, Doron Lamb, Mike Dunleavy
Small Forward: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Tobias Harris
Power Forward: Ersan Ilyasova, John Henson
Center: Samuel Dalembert, Drew Gooden, Ekpe Udoh
The Milwaukee Bucks have one of the best backcourts in the NBA, comprised of two high-scoring guards in Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis.
Bringing back Ersan Ilyasova was crucial, but the frontcourt is still going to be the weakness of the team.
Minnesota Timberwolves
18 of 30Point Guard: Ricky Rubio, Luke Ridnour, J.J. Barea, Alexey Shved
Shooting Guard: Brandon Roy, Malcolm Lee
Small Forward: Chase Budinger, Andrei Kirilenko
Power Forward: Kevin Love, Derrick Williams
Center: Nikola Pekovic, Greg Stiemsma
The Minnesota Timberwolves' rotation definitely resembles that of a playoff team. If Ricky Rubio can stay healthy, the sky is the limit for this team.
That said, shooing guard could be a problem for the Wolves if Roy is either injured or ineffective in his return from retirement.
New Orleans Hornets
19 of 30Point Guard: Austin Rivers, Greivis Vasquez
Shooting Guard: Eric Gordon, Xavier Henry
Small Forward: Al-Farouq Aminu, Darius Miller
Power Forward: Ryan Anderson, Jason Smith
Center: Anthony Davis, Robin Lopez, Solomon Jones
Rookies and new acquisitions are going to earn a lot of minutes in the New Orleans Hornets rotation.
Austin Rivers and Anthony Davis should start the season in the starting lineup, as should recently-traded-for Ryan Anderson.
New York Knicks
20 of 30Point Guard: Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd
Shooting Guard: Iman Shumpert (injured), J.R. Smith, Ronnie Brewer
Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony, Steve Novak
Power Forward: Amar'e Stoudemire, Kurt Thomas
Center: Tyson Chandler, Marcus Camby
The New York Knicks rotation isn't going to contain a certain breakout point guard, but Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd will be capable substitutes in the backcourt.
Shooting guard will be a strength once Iman Shumpert is back, and the stars will be out in full force at Madison Square Garden.
Oklahoma City Thunder
21 of 30Point Guard: Russell Westbrook, Eric Maynor
Shooting Guard: Thabo Sefolosha, James Harden, Daequan Cook
Small Forward: Kevin Durant, Perry Jones III
Power Forward: Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison
Center: Kendrick Perkins, Cole Aldrich, Hasheem Thabeet
A healthy Eric Maynor and recently-drafted Perry Jones III will help make the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench a bit deeper and more well-rounded.
Plus, the big four is back as Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and James Harden will all be major contributors to the rotation.
Orlando Magic
22 of 30Point Guard: Jameer Nelson, Chris Duhon
Shooting Guard: Jason Richardson, J.J. Redick
Small Forward: Hedo Turkoglu, Quentin Richardson
Power Forward: Glen Davis, Gustavo Ayon
Center: Dwight Howard
Even with Dwight Howard, this rotation isn't looking too solid.
Once he's gone—once, not if—the Orlando magic are going to look pretty awful.
Philadelphia 76ers
23 of 30Point Guard: Jrue Holiday, Royal Ivey
Shooting Guard: Nick Young, Evan Turner
Small Forward: Andre Iguodala, Dorell Wright, Maurice Harkless
Power Forward: Spencer Hawes, Thaddeus Young, Lavoy Allen
Center: Kwame Brown, Nikola Vucevic
The Philadelphia 76ers' rotation doesn't make much sense because they have way too many swingmen and tweeners on the roster.
I'd expect for the Sixers to move one or more of their young players before the 2012-2013 trade deadline.
Phoenix Suns
24 of 30Point Guard: Goran Dragic, Kendall Marshall
Shooting Guard: Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown
Small Forward: Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson
Power Forward: Luis Scola, Markieff Morris
Center: Marcin Gortat
The Phoenix Suns underwent a massive roster overhaul following Steve Nash's departure for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Between Goran Dragic's return to the Phoenix Suns and the arrivals of Michael Beasley and Luis Scola, Phoenix will look a lot different and potentially compete for a playoff spot.
Portland Trail Blazers
25 of 30Point Guard: Damian Lillard, Nolan Smith
Shooting Guard: Wesley Matthews, Elliot Matthews
Small Forward: Nicolas Batum, Luke Babbitt
Power Forward: J.J. Hickson, Jared Jeffries
Center: LaMarcus Aldridge, Meyers Leonard
The Portland Trail Blazers won't be able to let LaMarcus Aldridge play his natural position until Meyers Leonard has some experience and isn't just a raw, high-upside rookie.
Damian Lillard should easily make Blazers fans forget about Raymond Felton, and the rest of the rotation should look fairly similar.
Sacramento Kings
26 of 30Point Guard: Isaiah Thomas, Aaron Brooks, Jimmer Fredette
Shooting Guard: Marcus Thornton, Francisco Garcia
Small Forward: Tyreke Evans, John Salmons, James Johnson
Power Forward: Thomas Robinson, Jason Thompson
Center: DeMarcus Cousins, Chuck Hayes
The Sacramento Kings only added to their passive logjam in the backcourt by signing Aaron Brooks in his return from China. Now, Tyreke Evans will have to continue playing small forward to allow Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton to keep getting playing time.
Thomas Robinson is NBA-ready enough to start from day one and should form a terrifying frontcourt pairing with DeMarcus Cousins.
San Antonio Spurs
27 of 30Point Guard: Tony Parker, Gary Neal
Shooting Guard: Danny Green, Manu Ginobili
Small Forward: Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Jackson
Power Forward: Boris Diaw, DeJuan Blair
Center: Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter
Even if Tim Duncan doesn't like it, I'm listing him at center now. That's the position he's been playing for a while now, although he'll go down in NBA history as the best power forward of all time.
The San Antonio Spurs rotation will look remarkably similar to last year's makeup.
Toronto Raptors
28 of 30Point Guard: Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon, John Lucas III
Shooting Guard: Landry Fields, Terrence Ross
Small Forward: DeMar DeRozan, Linas Kleiza
Power Forward: Andrea Bargnani, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson
Center: Jonas Valanciunas, Aaron Gray
It's time to start giving the Toronto Raptors some respect. With the additions of Kyle Lowry, Terrence Ross, Landry Fields and Jonas Valanciunas, this could be a dangerous team.
I wouldn't expect for the Raptors to make the playoffs in 2012-2013, but they'll be in contention and should then elevate their games in a year or two of playing together.
Utah Jazz
29 of 30Point Guard: Mo Williams, Earl Watson, Jamaal Tinsley
Shooting Guard: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Randy Foye
Small Forward: Marvin Williams, DeMarre Carroll
Power Forward: Paul Millsap, Jeremy Evans
Center: Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter
The Utah Jazz have too many quality frontcourt players, which could lead to chemistry problems as Paul Millsap, Jeremy Evans, Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter all deserve playing time.
Mo Williams should be a solid point guard in his return to the Utah Jazz and the Jazz will contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Washington Wizards
30 of 30Point Guard: John Wall, Shelvin Mack
Shooting Guard: Jordan Crawford, Bradley Beal
Small Forward: Trevor Ariza, Chris Singleton
Power Forward: Jan Vesely, Trevor Booker
Center: Nene Hilario, Emeka Okafor
The Washington Wizards are trying to build their roster to win now, after adding Nene Hilario (middle of last season), Emeka Okafor and Bradley Beal.
With a healthy Jan Vesely improving during his sophomore season, John Wall now has enough offensive options to start living up to his potential.
