I think Milwaukee should be the favorite to come out of the East heading into the season. Granted I’m biased, but they retained all their key players and as the article says, as long as they can stay healthy (knock on wood) they should be able to take anyone on in a playoff series.

I don’t really understand the Celtics off-season moves to be honest, they gave up their two of their best defenders (outside of Rob) in Smart and Grant Williams and I just don’t see the roster changes making up for what the gave away. I think Smart was absolutely integral to team success and they’re going to realize that at some point mid season, maybe not until post season, but I predict it will become apparent that dealing him was a mistake.
