WATCH OUT NGL
Raptors have been an underrated team since the term underrated was created i love scottie so much and I'd love to have him aswell but a raptors playoff run is inevitable within the next 5 years
Boston with regress as jrue would be gone and white and kp has a chance of leaving too leaving it JB and JT
76ers are gonna have an old embiid with Maxey leading the team bc PG8 will retire soon
Bucks will also have an old star big while Lillard,Lopez and Khris all retire
Knicks simply can't win with their situation the contracts of those who blossom into great role players would run out and they'd have to let go of some ppl eventually
Cavs,Magic, and Pacers have the highest chance to win the east in the 5 years from now
Heat already has an old Jimmy and bam might have injury problems even if he doesn't he can't lead teams like Jimmy can
Enter the raptors a team with a young Scottie Barnes that'll baptize teams they'll need a trade or two but I put faith in this this raptors team already to make the playoffs this season with a trade deadline trade for somebody that can shoot and stretch the floor or just go all around an help out like vucevic or DFS
The Raptors have to be good this season after adding Walter who i have high hopes for even after losing Trent just makes having Walter more convenient in case Trent walked which he did
Barrett,Barnes,Quickley are three Quickley (pun intended) rising stars that can still grow more and more
The supporting cast isn't even bad Jakob Poetl,Jakobe Walter,Gradey Dick,Kelly Olynyk not bad at all
Even defenders on the team in Davion Mitchell even though they traded OG and Siakam which I feel they should've kept OG and let Siakam go
Trust me the raptors will see atleast a 8th seed
Pelicans
A great season making the play in and playoffs just to fall short to the best young and upcoming team ever
Pelicans had a great year imo and are obviously making a top 6 seed this year with Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram leading the pact with a newfound star aswell named Dejounte Murray one of my favorite players ever
Pelicans have the right players flipping CJ now opens rooms for herb to start at the 3 or the 2 (which isn't the best but his defending is needed)
Trade Robinson Earl,Missi,Hawkins,Picks for Jalen Duren or something and they are set for a top 5 seed
Watch out in the east and west for these 2 teams
