The playoff (and play-in) teams are way easier to pick in the East. Only questions are where they fall. How much does the coaching issue affect Boston? Could Cleveland get top 6? Where the heck do you put Brooklyn?
EAST
1. Mil
2. Phi
3. Mia
4. Bkn
5. Bos
6. Tor
7. Cle
8. Chi
9. Atl
10. NY
11. Det
12. Was
13. Orl
14. Cha
15. Ind
For the west, there's 7 teams that look good, 4 that look meh, and 4 weak ones (especially SA and Utah. There are going to be some blow-outs in the West).
WEST
1. LAC
2. GSW
3. Den
4. Mem
5. Phx
6. Dal
7. Min
8. Por
9. NO
10. LAL
11. Sac
12. Hou
13. OKC
14. SAS
15. Uta

Brogdon to Celtics seemed like a fantastic move on paper, in reality it's even better, one of the best trades this off-season. Got exactly the player they needed for basically nothing. Brogdon as a playmaker and a number 3 option offensively (with the other 2 being good and willing passers plus great iso players) is maximizing his impact imo. Exciting team, let's hope the Udoka stuff doesn't have an impact on them. Not that I'm a fan, but they're cool to watch. _________________ Finally updated the overall chart

(There's of course a chance it could work out, at least short term. Chances are it will at least make them quite formidable offensively, but could be very rough for them on the other side of the ball if they don't find a defensive piece or two...) _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
