Right now top 3 who done great so far
Utah
76ers
Bucks
3-not so good
Charlotte
Cleveland
Clippers
I agree on Utah. They killed it.
I'm less sure on the 76ers. They did well if Butler and Redick leaving were inevitable, but I still think they took a step back.
Milwaukee... I love the signings of Lopez and Matthews, and they did a great job bringing back almost everybody. But, why go cheap? Every owner in the NBA can afford the luxury tax. Giving Brogdon away seems like money was a priority over winning.
The Clippers: it's all up to Kawhi, right? If they get him, it's a homerun. If not, they squandered a big opportunity to improve their team.
Agree on Cleveland and obviously Charlotte.
My list...
Winners:
Utah. They improved their team for this season more than anybody else.
Memphis. Picking up an unprotected GSW pick several years in the future could be a coup. This is the perfect way to use cap space when you're rebuilding.
New Orleans. They had a great draft, have a haul of draft picks for the future, and signed some really good pros to help the kids develop while remaining competitive.
Brooklyn. Kyrie is a flake, but the talent injection here is huge. Waiting a year for contention isn't really an issue.
Losers:
Charlotte. Losing Kemba was bad. Overpaying Rozier was worse, and they lost Lamb on top of it all.
Houston and Denver. The NBA is potentially wide open next season, and they did nothing to improve. Literally nothing.
Toronto and/or LA Clippers. At least one of these teams is going to miss out on Kawhi, and Toronto is going to lose Danny Green.
