[@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.

[@Paulafan5]

Giddey had 3 triple doubles with limited minutes. On paper, he's a better player than Caruso. Plus, he had that social media attack that distracted him most of the season. With that over with, he should be better in Chicago.

[@ajbianchi85]

Windy speaking truths, others just saying big names

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@meech6848]

Why do they keto bringing up Embiid's post season history yet talk like Julius Randle turns up in the playoffs😂

[@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...

can't believe Espn lakers and windy didn't say Bronny, lol why people still watch them lol

[@Paulafan5]

A g-leaguer who will take playing time away from their first round pick in the NBA? It could be a story if the locker room becomes divided over that. If Bronny is taking minutes from bench players who are far superior and deserve playing time, that could create a rift. Then again, the Lakers stink and their ceiling is 9th.

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.

OKC needs another big to go with what they got

[@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).

I do not see how the Pels getting Murray isn't top 4, considering they gave up no starters

[@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..

[@generalzues]

I agree with Windy. Caruso & Hartenstein are the most significant moves so far this off-season. Just like the most important off-season move last year was Jrue Holiday.
