I don't trust the Pistons or Embiid's health. I did forget about Orlando. There is a clear top four with BOS out of it, so "easily" was a bridge too far, but I really wouldn't be surprised. Brown can have a breakout year. Still a lot of talent on that roster. They are surely not tanking.

Yea you’re right to not trust Embiid. Pistons we will see, I just really like the young Cade/Duren pairing and I expect them to continue to improve

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Celtics are better than a few teams expected to win more, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if they are in the play in range and decide to start resting guys and get themselves a spot in the lottery.

The lottery is so different now, with the altered odds you can sneak into the back end of the lottery and win it. That’s gotta be incredibly enticing for a team like the Celtics, who know they probably aren’t true contenders until Tatum is Tatum again

Always was … hated the Knicks .. stopped watching NBA many years ago ..

The Players are , without question , great BB players .
But , it was more that I got into NHL Hockey as a fan and , the 2 Sports share most of the Fall , Winter , Spring and , lately almost Summer . I only have 3 TV’s so I watch a lot of Hockey as I get the Center Ice Package .

College BB is easier to follow , especially for St John’s , as I’m a Alum plus there are fewer games than the NBA .

I live in SCarolina so , I don’t get a lot of the NY teams games on my outrageously priced Cable subscription so ,the NBA isn’t a priority .

I’m more into College Football now too ..It’s bigger than the NFL down here . Nearly all the College Teams in the South sell out every game .
High school football too , they play on Friday nights . Too hot to play in the daytime .

Celtics fan?

There will never be enough proper paragraph spacing to make up for being a Celtics fan.

Well it cost him 2 2nd round picks, unless you attribute that as payment to take Niang's contract off his hands.

That's exactly what it was - the price of dumping salary in the NBA is draft picks.

Anyway, I don't know if this relates so much to RJ as to NIL but it's interesting and I'll put it here:

www.cbssports.com

How NIL money is impacting the G League and keeping ex-college basketball stars closer to their NBA dreams

Drew Timme had multiple NIL deals at Gonzaga and spent two seasons in the G League before the Nets called him up

I follow college basketball and football a lot more than I do the pros.
