Roy H, I agree bout Houston..but with Denver they got Michael Porter plus they should have the experience of what it takes to win in playoffs now..and if Clippers dont get Leonard then they really blew it..they would take a step backwards again

I think two teams that aren't clear winners or losers are the Celtics and Warriors.  I'd put them in the "something from nothing" category.

Golden State salvaged some good from this off-season even after losing Durant.  The D'Angelo Russell trade preserves an asset for them, and I didn't think they'd be able to bring back Looney, let alone add WCS on top of it.  The only real criticism I have is that they paid a potentially heavy price to move Iguodala. 

With the Celtics, I was expecting a full rebuild, which was a bit depressing.  Landing Kemba is a coup, and the Celtics got a surprisingly good big man in Kanter.  Yes, our team is a lot worse than a lot of us were hoping for six months ago, when we had dreams of Davis-Horford-Hayward-Brown-Kyrie.  But, they should be a fun team with a bright future.

That said, there are things to debate.  Could Danny have enticed Brooklyn or Houston into a sign and trade, allowing us more cap flexibility?  Even assuming Horford was gone, the sign-and-trade could have netted us another $5 million to throw at a big (could we have signed WCS?), and Bird Rights on Marcus Morris, etc.

Right now top 3 who done great so far
Utah
76ers
Bucks

3-not so good
Charlotte
Cleveland
Clippers

Boy has this changed!

I think the Bucks did a nice job but weren’t necessarily deserving of top 3.

New top 5: (for me)
Clippers
Utah
NOP
Memphis - Call me crazy but Memphis has made some stellar moves this offseason to set up a nice competitive rebuild.
Indy

Bottom 5
Cleveland - Hello, McFly. Anybody home?
Houston - wanted to make a big move and did nothing
Charlotte- I love MJ but man does that guy need some help down there
Denver - 170 million to Murray is a lot of money. They needed one more piece and they’ve done nothing to get it. Bol and MPJ could be bright spots though
Washington - y’all need to trade Beal while the assets are flying.
