Key Highlights:
Boston Celtics: Status Quo
The Celtics made minimal moves, retaining most of their roster and bringing in a couple of new faces. With Kristaps Porzingis expected to be out until Christmas, Al Horford's value may rise early in the season.
Brooklyn Nets: Rebuilding Phase
The Nets are in a clear rebuild, having lost key players like Mikal Bridges and adding veterans like Bojan Bogdanovic. Expect a lot of changes as the season progresses, with young players like Noah Clowney potentially getting more minutes.
New York Knicks: Significant Moves
The Knicks made some big offseason moves, including acquiring Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson's extension. They added valuable depth with Cameron Payne and Keita Bates-Diop, but also lost key contributors like Isaiah Hartenstein and Bojan Bogdanovic. How will these changes impact their playoff aspirations?
Philadelphia 76ers: Strategic Upgrades
Philadelphia made some strategic upgrades, bringing in Paul George, Caleb Martin, and Andre Drummond. While they lost Tobias Harris and De'Anthony Melton, the additions could give them a net gain, especially with Joel Embiid anchoring the team.
Toronto Raptors: Neutral Ground
The Raptors are treading water, with some interesting draft picks like Ja’Kobe Walter and Jonathan Mogbo. They also traded for Davion Mitchell, but lost Gary Trent Jr. and other rotational players. It remains to be seen how these moves will affect their competitiveness.
