The NBA announced the groups for the 2025 edition of the NBA Cup. The Charlotte Hornets got an easy group.
Now to be fair, with how weak the East looks on paper, all of the groups look somewhat cushy, but the Hornets group actually looks somewhat attainable.
The Bucks are the defending cup champions, but they look significantly weaker going into this season after the departures of Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez. They’re basically Giannis Antetokounmpo, Myles Turner, and a bunch of guys thrown together. They should be an okay team this season, but they’re entirely beatable.
