I would have both teams you mentioned as a lock to finish above Mavs, unless some real big injuries happen.
Memphis didn't play any worse when Ja was out last season. They don't have Tyus Jones anymore, but Smart will probably also help in this area. I think Memphis are a great regular season team and I find it hard for them to finish below Mavs.
Lakers were 16-9 after the Utah trade and their supporting cast is arguably better than it was last season.
