After a busy trade deadline, who is the best team in the NBA’s Eastern Conference?
With the 2023 NBA trade deadline now firmly in the rearview mirror, who are the best teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference once the dust of a very busy day settles? With the Brooklyn Nets having blown up their title core by sending Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns respectively, are the Boston Celtics still the top dogs of the East?
The Milwaukee Bucks also made some notable moves, and the Philadelphia 76ers made a minor trade around the margin, while others in the East did little or even stood pat. Does any of this look likely to upend the order of this conference by season’s end?
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.
