I actually think this is the most likely to happen.
But it's not so bad, we still have a ECF worthy team, Brown, Rozier, Smart will get better, adding Zizic will help. We'll probably loose KO, but If Tatum is any good he should be able to fill the gap. Maybe use the cap space to sort out IT's contract.
The east conference has actually gotten worse, so I expect us to be No.1 seat next year and face Cavs again in the conference finals.
