East is horrendous

East is horrendous

That is true. There’s three good teams and that’s it

The Raptors, Celtics, Heat, and Pacers are all real surprisingly mediocre. No TJ Warren and no Dipo/Levert hurts, but the Pacers should probably still be .500. Raptors, Heat, and C's should all be better. I would guess a couple of those teams put it together and are dangerous come playoff time.

Sounds like the Raptors are sellers and falling apart.

It's weird to think that going from Gasol and Ibaka to Baynes and Boucher could explain this, but otherwise it's the same team as last year. I guess Lowry is a year older (but his stats are freaking good), Siakam has missed a bit, and I love Davis and he's 10th in minutes when he was 7th last year, so there are a few differences I suppose.

Magic are sellers. Fournier and Vucevic both reported gone.

What an effective fire sale

Gordon too

BRB going to try out for the Magic

Gordon to Denver is interesting. He's a really good passer and that makes them all the more dangerous.

What a great tweet

Norm Powell for Gary Trent makes no sense for Portland and I like both players. Raptors win that one simply because of age/contract.

RE: Trent's $ will go up substantially, but Powell's will too because he is probably going to skip his player option.

George Hill to 76ers

This is insane

If Rondo is playoff Rondo this postseason, Clippers could be freaking scary. I think full strength Lakers beat them, if that happens, but if Rondo performs, they probably beat everybody else.
