Toronto roughly stayed the same, which still won't be good enough to compete with the Cavs, and Boston got better. Losing Patrick Patterson (which hurts more than a lot of people realize) and DeMarre Carroll (even if dumping the $30 million they owe him over the next two seasons looks good on the books) is probably a net loss when put next to the Miles signing. Miles via a sign-and-trade with Indiana - didn't make the cut because so many teams actually got better, while it feels like the Raptors kind of stayed the same. Two teams were notably left off the list even after the success of bringing back big-name players.įirst, the Toronto Raptors - who brought back Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka, and also got a steal in C.J. So many teams have made so many strong moves, in the short term and for the future. A handful of decent free agents - Nerlens Noel, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - are still out there, but for the most part, rosters are shaping up across the league.īefore we get to our latest offseason rankings, a disclaimer: This was a really tough top 10. The dust has yet to fully settle on this wild NBA offseason.
