Summary

A mailbag edition of our bi-weekly look at the East has a ton of great questions, including but not limited to: ATL: Why is Trae disrespected, how do they make the math work this offseason? BOS: C’s or the field in the East? BRK: What young player would you move Mikal Bridges for? Is this 2025 cap space plan a good idea? CHA: Brandon Miller! CHI: How long until the Bulls have new leadership? CLE: Why are the Cavs absolutely destroying teams right now? DET: Our thoughts on the Grimes/Ivey/Cade trio IND: The development of the Pacers’ young players is now the key to true contention MIA: If the Heat are healthy, are we really gonna pick all these other teams over them in a playoff series? MIL: What has changed under Doc, and is Dame not able to bring it every night anymore? NYK: The Knicks’ playoff chances. ORL: Jonathan Isaac is closing games for the Magic, and what type of player do they need to take another step? PHI: Why do people think that “aloof buffoon” Daryl Morey is a good GM? (We don’t write the questions.) TOR: RJ Barrett’s improved efficiency WAS: Should Wiz just bench Poole? Who will make the playoffs first among the East’s terrible trio?
