The top-three teams in the Eastern Conference are the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors, although the order is certainly widely debated. The trio is constructed the top of last year’s conference standings, but a new squad is knocking down the door: the Washington Wizards.
Though not a team at the top of the conference last season, the Wizards improved on a roster that was already a contender in the East and is staged to take a step forward.
The trio at the top of the conference widely stayed the same in the transaction market. The Celtics were nearly in The Finals despite the loss of their two stars.
