On average, the heaviest team in the league is the Los Angeles Clippers at an average weight of 230 lbs. The lightest is the Golden State Warriors at 216 lbs. The oldest team in the league is the Lakers with an average of 28 years old. The youngest is the Timberwolves at 23.4 years.
Do those stats appear to mean anything? As far as weight goes not really, although the Warriors are the fastest paced team in the league (well, we'll see this upcoming season but I imagine they will continue to be so with Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis running their back-court). However, age does seem to make a difference as the Lakers are the best team in the league and the Timberwolves are clearly the worst team in the league. The next 5 oldest teams are the Nuggets, Heat, Suns, Celtics, and Magic--all of whom are contenders to at least get to the Conference Finals.
I also looked up the average height of each team (that was actually the first thing that I was looking at) and surprisingly players for every single team were on average either 6-6 or 6-7. I figured that there would be at least a couple of teams who had a good inch or 2 on everyone else.
