Lots of NBA teams have changed their looks. Some, we want to watch more than others. Which team do you just not care about at all?

Obviously it's GSW, followed very closely by Utah.

The Nets and Knicks are in the smae division as the C's, and the other two are contenders.

Miami by a large margin -- very exciting to see those three play together

Then Chicago who have a very interesting roster and Utah because it's great to see Big Al finally get a chance to play for a solid team.

I couldn't care less about Golden State. I don't really give a darn about the Nets either. Looking forward to seeing some of Favors but outside of that ...

My interest in the Knicks depends on how much Anthony Randolph plays. If he is a starter playing 35 minutes a night, I'll really like that squad. If he's not, same same just different players from last season.

I think you mis-read the question. "Which NBA team enthuses you the least?"

I'd say from least interesting to most interesting it goes GSW>NJ>NY>Chicago>Utah>Miami

I think the Nets off-season moves left very little to be excited about.  Between missing out on John Wall, to signing a bunch of mediocre (and now overpaid) free agents, I'm not sure how anybody can have hope in NJ.

The Warriors didn't do a whole lot, either, but David Lee is at least an all-star talent.

Oh, haha, yeah ... completely mis-read that.

I'd switch Chicago and Utah around. For me, Utah still has too many holes and annoyances to pull ahead of Chicago.

New Jersey by a wide margin for now...probably the Knicks if the Nets get Melo.

I'm excited to see how things work out for the Heat, and I'm really curious to see if Golden State can turn things around.  I believe the league is stronger with a good team in GS, and the fan base deserves a competitive franchise.  Hope they can get it done with the new management.

Cleveland? It may have been unintentional by the team, but it is definitely a different team than last year.  (Welcome to Boston, Shaq and Delonte.  LeBron who?)

Same here.

NJ does not interest me at all (no big names, and they'll be bad again this year).

I'm looking forward to seeing Golden State (and in their new "retro" unis too!). David Lee's over there now, Steph Curry's a beast, and it should be fun to see how new kid Jeremy Lin pans out.

Just for argument's sake, Cleveland is not a revamped team really, which is what the poll asks. They signed Ramon Sessions and that's about it... Man, they're gonna be bad this year  :-\

Yeah, I hadn't read this twitter yet:

Four way deal died, and league source says that Nets "need some closure on matter." Hard to run a training camp with so much uncertainty.

I guess NJ really is the least interesting.

Um... why do you have Miami listed as "pretty much the same team as last year"??  I'd say adding Bosh & Lebron will provide quite a difference.

Until the 'Melo trade goes through, I vote NJ as the team I am least enthused about.

I believe there was some sarcasm being used there by IP with regards to Miami.

Really, no one went with Utah? Al Jefferson instead of Carlos Boozer and Raja Bell instead of Wesley Matthews. Can't say I'm all that interested to see how that pans out.

I've slowly become a Nets advocate. I'm really interested to see what Favors can do this season. I have real high hopes for Terrence Williams, hopefully repeating what he did in April throughout the season, I like Morrow as a player, and I'm interested to see what Farmar can do outside of the triangle offfense (not that I have high expectations, I'm just interested to see if he can evolve into a better player).

I think Outlaw casts a pretty big shadow over them. They clearly overpaid for him, and they didn't really need him in the first place. My guess is that King really overvalued him as an asset/future trading chip.

EDIT: Plus another year of Brook Lopez! Should be interesting to see if he takes another step forward. Right?!
