The Northwest Division is a little tougher to pick than the Central Division.  The Nuggets showed their strength last season, but the Jazz always are in contention, and I like the Trail Blazers to make some noise as well.  Thus, I’ll run with LaMarcus Aldridge’s picture up top, who just scored a 5-year, $65 million extension.
