Basically comes down to Ingram and Quickley

If we don't really have the money to sign someone, it's imperative that a trade happens for shooting and a backup big. We can't go to training camp with this little floor spacing and rim protection.

Young / Krejci / Bufkin
Daniels / NAW
Risacher / Whitmore
Johnson / Newell
Porzingis / Okongwu

That is a very good team right now, with good youth and upside for the future. I'd project them to finish top 6 in the East for sure.

If they stay healthy for sure. It is mostly down to health and they kind of look like the type of roster that would collapse with a few injuries.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Hawks and Magic both had really solid off-seasons.

East is going to be interesting. Cavs and Celtics take a step back in win count. Hawks and Magic move up a little.

Raps are going to have to work hard if we want to make playoffs.

Tyus Jones is a great addition for Orlando

Suggs / Jones
Bane / Black / Richardson
Wagner / DaSilva / Howard
Banchero / Isaac
Carter / Bitadze

They spent a lot bringing Bane in, but that team looks really good.

FO really got us paying 90% of our salary to 5 starters who don’t even fit together.

When was the last time this team was ‘active’ and involved in deals? They rarely do anything aside from wait around and do the bare minimum.

I really find that interesting. He was a guy we had for a summer league run [edit 10 day deal] once, and after several years in Europe he became a top player. I like how Phoenix is thinking outside of the regular free agent pool.

I still think Celtics in the East will be decent if they keep White/Brown, Cavs will be still good

Knicks
Cavs
Magic
Celtics
Pistons
Hawks
Bucks (Depending on Giannis)
Pacers (Will be ok)
Heat
76ers (Embiids health)

No particular order ^

Where do we fit in with them teams ^ Thats 10 teams....If all things go well we prolly 6-8 Area if things go bad or other teams have take a leap....We could be in the play ins or just miss the playoffs...

Im just glad we still have our 2026 pick if things go bad....
