2. Did the Bucks do enough to solve their problems?
3. Does Boston need another leap from Jayson Tatum? (Will they miss Hayward?)
4. Have we all abandoned Toronto too early?
5. Will Brooklyn have enough defense to compete for the 1 seed?
6. Now that Philly has a roster that makes some sense around Embiid and Simmons, what does success look like for this team?
7. Who finishes higher in the standings: Pacers, Wizards, Hawks, or Magic?
8. Who is going to be the best rookie in the East?
9. Who gets the 1 seed?
