How do the Golden State Warriors stack up against the rest of the Pacific Division?

The NBA season is a little over a month away, which means the Golden State Warriors will start a season filled with redemption, vilification, hate, joy and questions from critics questioning the move to go after four-time scoring champ Kevin Durant and actually getting him. One question that I have is How the Warriors will stack up against the Pacific Division and what seed will each team in the Pacific Division be after the end of the regular season?

I will preview each team in the Pacific Division and what their strengths and weaknesses and if they have a shot at upending the Warriors in a game or two in their season series.

I’ll preview if the Kings can overcome troubles to get them to a respectable position in the loaded Western Conference, where the Clippers and the star powered team can be at the end of the season with a short title window closing, how the Lakers’ young core can become effective and develop for years to come and if the Suns can stay healthy and build up to a respectable record with a talented core of young players.
