Im approaching it as teams like the bulls, lakers, and Hawks still have a bankroll and money to spend and will be better in 2-3 weeks time than they are today.
I think the bulls were better than their record this past season. But them and the nets are interchangeable. I don't think randle moves the needle like that.
Magic are looking like they'll be coming with the exact same group and not looking to add anything. Im not really buying a coaching change catapulting them up the standings. Im selling stock until they make a trade.
I think the pistons are worst than their record indicated.
I expect the east to be very competitive.
It's nothing but a hot take tho. I'll keep updating as the offseason goes along. Like a power ranking I guess.
