We don't even need a trade. Just health, a good draft pick at #4 and a functional offense.
but when you look at the east the top 7 teams might stay the same. Atlanta could also make a leap if they can get a solid vet in there. Curious what happens with Indy and their grumpy 2 best players and what Toronto does with their ageing vets.
Orlando was the 8th seed last year, their roster construction is awful and Isaac is going to be out for awhile.
Probably not going to be a factor unless they get a PG and straighten out their rotation.
Of the playoffs teams that will be there next season. Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston, Miami all have the culture to remain in the playoff hunt and fight for the top seed.
Brooklyn will have to ease Kyrie and KD into the fold but they should on paper win and win big, especially given their coaching staff behind Nash.
Philly still has to fix their roster construction issues but the addition of Rivers should push them to contend at a higher level. Morey is creative as hell so he will find a way to make things happen.
Indiana...there are so many issues with that. They should win but if Turner and Oladipo force their way out, the rest is not enough without getting players back instead of draft picks.
Washington and Charlotte are not likely to factor into the equation. Atlanta needs a lot to move into playoff contention. Young and Collins are very good pieces, Capela helps but they need more. Has to come from their player development.
