This off-season, the Eastern Conference didn’t experience a power shift, but many teams did make major moves through trades, free agency and the NBA Draft.
Some teams improved, while others will plummet to the bottom of the standings.
The Washington Wizards were one of the few teams that actually didn’t make changes to their core, but still cleaned out their roster by adding an entirely different second unit.
All five of the Wizards’ starters are returning, and with a new head coach in Scott Brooks, expectations haven’t been this high since the team swept the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the 2015 NBA Playoffs.
