While the United States is in a state of income inequity, the NBA is in a state of talent inequity.

Four teams won at least 59 games last season and three of them – the Lakers, Cavs, and Magic – made major personnel moves within the last two weeks. The other team, Boston, is on the cusp of a big signing and the Spurs, who won 54 games last year, have done more to improve than any team in the league.

Just once in NBA history has the regular season included four 60-win teams (in 1997-98), yet each of the aforementioned five could conceivably hit the magic mark in 2009-10. So, as most basketball fans were anxiously anticipating the events of next summer and the grand free agent class of 2010, the recent acquisitions from the elite teams divided the league into a full-fledged caste system.

Even though I consider myself a huge NBA fan, every time the draft rolls around I find myself uninterested. I think it might be the speculation. The mock drafts, the trade rumors - why not just wait until it actually happens?

NaismithLives.com senior writer Adam Stanco appeared on The Arnie Spanier Show (The Fan 1060AM in Phoenix, AZ) to discuss what the teams up top are thinking, the future of James Harden, and which point guard might be a late steal.

1. Los Angeles Clippers
BLAKE GRIFFIN, Oklahoma
The Clippers made this decision on the day of the lottery.

2. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Memphis Grizzlies)
RICKY RUBIO, DKV Joventut (Spain)
The T-Wolves traded Randy Foye and Mike Miller for the No. 5 pick and could package the No. 5 & No. 18 picks to move up and get the Spanish sensation.

3. Oklahoma City Thunder
HASHEEM THABEET, Connecticut
The Thunder would love to add the 7-foot-3 difference-maker to their young core, especially considering they tried trading for shotblocker Tyson Chandler last season.
