[@junehodge8027]

LOTS of "big 3s" don't make it, he's not wrong. It's actually a lot harder than it seems. Personally, if they stay healthy, I think the Knicks win the east. When you have Brunson leading, Mikal, Donte, Julius, Hart and company, I like them odds if they stay healthy. Keyword IF. If they do, that's a dangerous team out east. Then you have the Bucks, 76ers, Indiana and the Cavs. The east isn't a lock for the Celtics by a long shot. Then people are counting out the Warriors out west, they love that and feed off that. I got them making a run. Then you have Denver, Wolves, Thunder and the Mavs out west. I have Dallas running it back with Klay. I feel he could really be that missing piece for them.

Gen Z has nothing to do with this clown. And if you think that demographic is watching ESPN then you shouldn’t be allowed in public without adult supervision.

[@g_lantos]

OKC built such a perfect young team, it was already a great team last season, but now with Caruso and Hartenstein is even better👏🏻 The 76ers with PG made the team East Conference finals contender again! The Mavs with Klay filled the gap with the lack of 3pt% so far these are the 3 biggest upgrades in my opinion.

[@jehushaphat]

This is a good team. Also, nice to have a moderator that doesn't constantly interrupt for a change!

[@politicalmrjonez7735]

[@Jnoel608]

Tier 1 - Celtics Tier 2 - Bucks, Knicks, Philly (if Embiid healthy) Tier 3 - Pacers, Magics, Cavs Tier 4 - Rest of east.

[@Paulafan5]

Fully healthy, the Knicks match up well against the Celtics. They'd be the slight underdogs but the Celtics would actually have a challenge this time around.

[@DanielHudson-vn5kl]

I'd put Miami in tier 3 personally, but hard to argue other than that.

[@brandongordon2392]

5.) Brooklyn retaining their draft picks from Houston 4.) Pelicans trading for DeJunte Murray 3.) Klay Thompson to Dallas 2.) Alex Caruso going to the Thunder 1.) Mikal going cross city to New York and OG re-signing with the team. I am not putting PG on this list cause that genuinely doesn't matter unless Embiid stays healthy. I'm a keep the same energy for this season like I was hard on the Celtics last season for NOT winning when it matters the most.. and the C's proved me wrong... NOTHING MATTERS for the SIXERS UNTIL THEY PROVE TO BE HEALTHY. I am not putting CP3 on this list because I feel that the Spurs are a trade or two away from being competitive. I know the rumors are linking Markannen with the Spurs...

For me, Dejounte Murray is the most interesting 'dark horse' move. If Ingram (one of my favorite players) can reach his potential with ZION healthy... look out.

[@romeobodeodo]

The Knicks are the most recent incarnation of the 04 Pistons. Massive defense with a team that plays connnected and unselfish. Boston is daunting, but I think the Knicks can compete with them.

[@politicalmrjonez7735]

Even if i wasn't a Knicks fan I would still see the them as the biggest threat in the east like our defense upgrades and offense like OG BRIDGES HART ROBINSON ARE THE POSTER MEN FOR DEFENSE IN THE NBA 🗽💙🧡💙🧡🗽 this roster is full of two way offensive and defensive players besides bruson and he's Gucci he plays the lanes but this shall be a very interesting season all around 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

9:28 The Knicks starting 5 does not include DiVicenzo. The starters are Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Randle & Robinson. DiVicenzo, Hart & McBride are on the bench with Sims and now Bates-Diop & and the rookies Dadiet, Kolek, Diakite & Hukporti who might not even make the team. Also, the Knicks are looking for another center. Kessler from Utah has been rumored.

[@THEOTOCLAN]

I dont think Windy was amused by their reactions to HIS TOP 4. 😐

[@Paulafan5]

OKC without doing anything would be better this year because Chet and Jalen will improve and (hopefully) not choke in the playoffs. If just one of them showed up against Dallas to help SGA, the Thunder make the Finals. Add Caruso and they should be the team to beat in the West. The Knicks are a dangerous club and adding Bridges makes them a threat to the Celtics (provided OG actually plays in the playoffs).

[@neiko9251]

What I don’t understand about the Knicks critique of the trade is, those picks were worthless to them unless they were to go through a major meltdown. Only 4 out of the 12 they had , had any chance of materializing into anything worthy for them and they only traded 3 of them. They still have more than enough to overcome a meltdown, AND they solidified their roster. The Nets and Knicks won that trade with flying colors. The Nets have major ammunition to rebuild, and the Knicks have a solid team for the now and the future, PLUS insurance if sh!t doesn’t go right. Like bruh..

[@mathewban]

Bro how is Paul George going to the Sixers not on this list. That’s the biggest off-season move. Knicks and sixers

[@JayZJay7]

Any team that Paul George is on is not a championship contender, it’s that simple. You can talk about his talent all you want but this dude is 34 years old now. He is what he is!!
