I’m not counting us out next year. Take Boston off the board without Tatum for a season. The Sixers are still a mess and will need Embiids knee to come together (doubtful)
So the top of the east is Indy and Cleveland, then. Maybe Orlando if they can go up a level. Maybe pistons go up a level too. Not exactly murderers row here.
The question is going to be how can we improve the roster in small ways to get us closer to the depth of an Indy and Cleveland and be more capable of running with them.
Won’t be necessarily easy with our cap situation and everything we have under contract. But we will be in the mix
