We're about six weeks form the TDL and it sure seems like there are a lot of broken teams, performing well below expectations, even before COVID.
In the East you have the Knicks, Celtics, Hawks, Pacers and Raptors. All have playoff aspirations but are struggling with losing records. Boston seems to have major chemistry issues and Indiana needs a shakeup. You also have Philly playing below expectations and, at some point, a big Simmons deal.
In the West you have the Lakers, Mavs and Blazers in the same boat with Boston and Indiana. LAL will definitely make deal.
Could be an active trade season.
