CHI

Chicago finally gets a lil toughness back in the building. There's not much to their roster, but re-singing Simmons and Sexton and giving full leash to Matas, Essengue and this year's rook is the only real pathway forward. Adding a legit big man to the equation helps simplify a lot.

BKN

I know they drafted a bunch of them, but lean into being a really big, fast-moving playmaking team. Jordi can produce solid defense, and a 1-5 which can shoot it and dish it is the only realistic counterattack to the brutal defenses of the Thunder, Spurs and Pistons.
