15 in 60 Mailbag! (East 2.11.24)

A mailbag edition of our bi-weekly look at the East has a ton of great questions, including but not limited to:

ATL: Why is Trae disrespected, how do they make the math work this offseason?

BOS: C’s or the field in the East?

BRK: What young player would you move Mikal Bridges for? Is this 2025 cap space plan a good idea?

CHA: Brandon Miller!

CHI: How long until the Bulls have new leadership?

CLE: Why are the Cavs absolutely destroying teams right now?

DET: Our thoughts on the Grimes/Ivey/Cade trio

IND: The development of the Pacers’ young players is now the key to true contention

MIA: If the Heat are healthy, are we really gonna pick all these other teams over them in a playoff series?

MIL: What has changed under Doc, and is Dame not able to bring it every night anymore?

NYK: The Knicks’ playoff chances.

ORL: Jonathan Isaac is closing games for the Magic, and what type of player do they need to take another step?

PHI: Why do people think that “aloof buffoon” Daryl Morey is a good GM? (We don’t write the questions.)

TOR: RJ Barrett’s improved efficiency

WAS: Should Wiz just bench Poole? Who will make the playoffs first among the East’s terrible trio?
