Noah, an
avid NBA fan and longtime Celtics supporter, is frequently shown in front of a
screen, watching a game or looking up the most recent numbers.
Many clubs and supporters are left wondering what their future holds as the NBA season comes to a close. The summer provides clubs an opportunity to recuperate and maybe even rebuild their squad, whether it is by re-signing the star player or dealing with the bench slobs. The Atlantic Division also grows more competitive as the seasons go on. Here are some suggestions for what each Atlantic Division team should accomplish this summer.
Toronto
Raptors
The Raptors
now don't require major decisions due to their third-place division finish. The
Raptors may take a break this summer as they don't have many players to resign
and no playmakers available. . However, they might also take these facts into
account.
Thaddeus
Young's resignation. Despite not producing much this year, Young still has some
scoring potential that might help the squad and give Siakam and Barnes a
respite. His rebounding also relieves Boucher and other bigs of some of their
strain on the glass.
. Sign/Trade a Center. While Boucher and Siakam have shown they can function as centers, the Raptors would greatly benefit the court's offensive and defensive ends if they could acquire or trade for an open center. Deandre Ayton, a center with the Suns, allegedly wants to leave Phoenix. The front office would be prudent to make Ayton a trade offer or present him with a contract. The basic starting lineup of the Raptors would benefit from Ayton's strong scoring and improved defense. There should also be thought given to other centers like Dewayne Dedmon, Andre Drummond, and Hassan Whiteside.
New
York Knicks
The Knicks have
a lot of decisions to make for the next summer after finishing below.500 and
missing the playoffs. The Knicks need to look for a piece that might help them
realize all of their potentials because they have a mix of young and
experienced players.
. Discover a
Mentor. Many Knicks players are in their early years and could need some
teaching and guidance. For the upcoming season, seasoned players who can
contribute on both sides of the court might be helpful. Ricky Rubio could help
the offense with his passing and even a reliable 3-point shooting. Serge Ibaka
could provide Randle and Robinson some sound defensive counsel while
contributing a respectable amount of offensive abilities to the club.
. Mitchell
Robinson, resign. The Knicks must continue to have a youthful, athletic center,
Mitchell Robinson. His agility and shot-blocking skills have proven valuable to
the club. He frequently dunks off lob passes and blocks shots into the
spectators. He is essential to the squad's success due to his excellent rebounding
skills and abundance of potential.
Boston
Celtics
There isn't
much the Celtics should do this offseason with an Eastern Conference
Championship and an NBA Championship already under their belts. Of course, they
should still take a few factors into account.
. Follow
Robert Williams III closely. Robert Williams III is essential to the Celtics'
success because of his outstanding output and fantastic season. They should,
however, keep an eye out for transactions that would benefit the squad more
than maintaining Williams. The Celtics ought to consider his output and refrain
from making hasty transactions. Before getting rid of him, weigh all your
choices.
. Consider hiring a fresh assistant coach. The Celtics may think about dismissing one assistant and recruiting a new one to free up more cap space and aid in player development. A coach like Frank Vogel might provide players and young coach Ime Udoka knowledge and insight, despite his unsatisfactory tenure in Los Angeles perhaps damaging his reputation. Although not urgent, it is something to think about.
Philadelphia
76ers
Many Sixers
supporters negatively impression the team after a successful regular season and
disappointing playoff performance. Despite Embiid's incredible performance and
scoring championship, there are still many unanswered issues regarding the
76ers heading into the offseason.
. Don't let
Deandre Jordan leave. Deandre Jordan is a burden for the 76ers due to his low
output and extensive social media defamation. His performance does not justify
the Sixers spending more money to maintain him, given that he commands little
over half a million dollars. Jordan isn't the same player he once was, and it
would be preferable if he looked to offer his talents elsewhere.
. Try
trading for Danny Green. Danny Green doesn't fit into Doc Rivers' scheme, even
with his ability to hit three-pointers. It's not ideal for the Sixers moving
ahead that he can catch and hit three-pointers. Green yet has a high trading
value. A club that struggles from beyond the arc will undoubtedly be prepared
to part with its top players in exchange for Danny Green.
Brooklyn
Nets
The Nets must take action to maintain their status as a "big threat" club in the face of a dissatisfied Kevin Durant and an uncertain Kyrie Irving. If Steve Nash and the Nets front staff want to compete in Brooklyn, they must come up with a solution quickly.
. Talk and
bargain with Kyrie Irving. The Nets receive uneven playing time from Kyrie due
to his high level of unpredictability. The Nets' summer will be considerably
less stressful if they speak with Kyrie and determine if he is "all
in" or not. Let him play if he's all in, and think about his deal for the
next year. Consider your choice and speak with his teammates if he isn't. For
the Brooklyn Nets this offseason, understanding Kyrie is crucial.
. Ben
Simmons, get set for the game. Getting Ben Simmons "ready" for next
season's action is crucial for the Nets, even though front office changes are
possible. A great and fruitful start to the season for Ben and the Nets may be
ensured by ensuring Ben is healthy and working out. The money spent on Ben
would be wasted if he weren't prepared.
