With the 2023 NBA trade deadline now firmly in the rearview mirror, who are the best teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference?
The Brooklyn Nets blew up their title core by sending Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, respectively. The Milwaukee Bucks made some notable moves, and the Philadelphia 76ers made a minor trade on the margin. Others in the Eastern Conference did little or even stood pat.
Does any of this look likely to upend the order of this conference by season’s end? Are the Boston Celtics the top dogs of the East?
The hosts of the ESPN “NBA Today” show took their best shot at answering this question soon after the deadline passed on Thursday.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
