Wizards are probably in the middle of a treadmill -_- So add them to the list.

To get off the treadmill, we'd have to either trade picks to unload some bad contracts (Mahinmi and Gortat) to participate in next year's FA and hopefully lure Cousins. Or we'd have to trade assets and tank. Don't see this team getting better under Grunfeld.

Blazers, Wizards, Raptors, Pelicans (even tho they are like 2 shooters away from being really good) and Denver are the bigger treadmill teams imo. Sixers can improve alot so I won't count them into the mix.

The Sixers don't even have their recent #1 pick playing yet...lol.

And on top of all of this, they'll have like $25 MILLION in open salary cap to spend in free agency, where they apparently plan to be super aggressive.

Raptors for sure

Simmons and Embiid have higher ceilings than anyone on the Raptors

Of course they also have more room for improvement, they’ve been one of the worst teams in the league for the past several seasons and even now they have an 8-7 record

This is as good as it will get for the Raptors with the current squad but there’s nothing wrong with being a consistently solid team. Orlando once made the NBA finals not super long ago

this is a dumbass question, Serge Ibaka didn’t pan out done Raptors are trash ass position for the future. Lowry wanted to get traded a long ass time ago but he didn’t so now he’s done too. I don’t think they really care tho, everyone making their money and pretending to compete, like Pierce said, Raptors just never had IT.. the fire.. Sixers On The Other Hand .. they got the Juice & the players that wanna fucking win & have the ability.. now they just gotta keep it pushing, get a better coach, stay healthy, get Fultz back..


The east is for the taking at its current landscape, and its only gonna get more competitive in the future..

The thing I don't understand is.... Simmons is a really good point guard. Why use a #1 pick on a true point guard??? Could have traded it for an elite PF, or draft a position you don't have a superstar at.... (PG and C).
