Which teams have improved/got worse?

[Sportal]

Ok, so. Which teams do you feel have taken a step-back during this off-season?

With the obvious being Portland, losing 4 out of 5 starting players, then their next man off the bench (Afflalo), with Steve Blake too.

Did the Mavs take a big step-back? There are a lot of teams in the West that have got better...

Which non-playoff teams from last season have made the biggest case for the playoffs next season? Or who have really solidified themselves in the lower seeds?

Page is here to have a look at who got who, just obviously click through the divisions:

I think the Raptors have done really well. Adding DeMarre Carroll, Biyombo, Cory Joseph and Luis Scola.

The Heat did well, The Bucks too

Nets got worse

[GIF REACTION]

The Kings DOMINATED free agency.

[Ramza]

Knicks get worse every year regardless so.....

[AnaheimLakers24]

Clippers made good moves. Lance is a underrated pick up

[HylianNightmare]

Magic made some nice moves, we're going to contend for that 9/10 seed in the east

[DOUBLE DRIBBLE]

Spurs got better
Suns got better.


Just off the top of my head...

[Heavincent]

Blazers and Mavs regressed.

[imnew09]

Lakers did great. In great shape for the bright future

[Akrazotile]

Lakers will be getting Kobe back healthy. So they got worse.

[poido123]

Bucks could be anything this year.


Their potential is scary.

I think nearly all team improved and some made a bigger leap in talent.

The Raptors could very well blow this all up if they start the season poorly and just keep stockpiling the younger talent.

WORSE: Portland, Dallas, Toronto

BETTER: Knicks, Hornets, Kings, Spurs, Lakers, Bucks, 6ers

TREADMILL: Memphis, Brooklyn, Miami, Cavs, GS,

The Hornets and Sixers aren't better.

How are the reigning champs a treadmill team ? How can Miami, who already won 3 rings in 7 years, a treadmill team ? Is this all new terms of treadmillIing ?

I was just saying they didnt improve or get worse. How did the hornets or sixers not get better? They got Jahlil Okafor, Frank Kaminsky, and Jeremy Lin, Hawes respectively and didn't really lose much.
