Which of these teams will improve the most?

Philly will be a team to watch in the East good young talent there only issue maybe there coach.

 

I am hoping Pacers, Magic, Kings, Wolves

 

So you have picked the bad teams to be not sucking as much as last year,

and not only that,

you picked all of them so at least you can hit a few?

 

I picked the Knicks, they won 17 games, they are talented enough to win 20 more in the East, maybe even more if no injuries.

The Heat won 37, Pacers 38, there's no way either of them can add 20 wins to that.

 

i voted lakers, but it's going to be lakers, wolves or magic

 

We'll see a healthy(?) Bosh and Dragic on the floor together..I see the Heat improving somewhat

 

If you add 10 wins to every team on your list,

Well you then I can tell you right now there is zero excitement about it.

If the Knicks will win 27 games and the Lakers will win 31, well they still suck. Even if the Pacers and Heat will win 10 more games and make the playoff in the east, noboday will actually be surprised or excited because the east is so bad.

Now if you say the Jazz or the Pel or even the Thunders will win 10 more, thats a totally different situation, and it could change the landscape of the west completely.

 

Bucks

 

Wolves with 16 wins last season have potential. If they get 30 wins, that will be 14 more and I don't think anyone else on that list will get more than 14 compared to last season.
But Magic, Heat and Pacers & Phily should all take wins from other east teams and do much better.

 

Magic, Wolves, or Pacers. I went with Magic.

 

Of all the poll options?

Heat to have the best record.

Timberpups to have the biggest jump in wins, from last year.

 

If Paul George returns reasonably healthy, Pacers will be back in the playoff hunt. Add Ellis, and they could be a pretty good team.

Timberwolves and Sixers could show significant improvement as well, but mostly because they were so terrible last season.

 

misunderstood what the poll was saying before voting and after reading the comments I realized that it should definitely be the Knicks... if you are talking about biggest differential in wins clearly the Knicks have the best chance to improve by getting Melo back healthy, adding Lopez/Afflalo, and drafting Grant/Porzingis. The heat would improve most in terms of being actual contenders IMO though

 

Hate to say it, but I think the Jazz are going to be pretty good next year.

 

This poll is about most win improvement. Not who will have the best record.

I voted Magic because of Skiles. He will force them to play defence. They had one of the worst defence in the league last year and only by improving their defence they can add a lot of wins in the East. Their backcourt has the potential to be elite in defence with Payton and Dipo. Their frontcourt will have problems though playing the defence Skiles demands. Gordon hopefully can take a step forward this season.

The Knicks won't improve as much as the Magic in my opinion because of the triangle. Rolo doesn't fit in the triangle plus it takes a lot of time for players to get accustomed to it. But they will certainly add a lot more to their win totals (doesn't take much after such a catastrophic season).

The Pistons SHOULD also improve because yes, Ilyasova is a much better fit than Monroe. But having watched him so long I can tell you that he's consistently incosistent and gets freak injuries every year like concussions etc. So I wouldn't bet on Ily on his own to improve the Pistons as much as Skiles will with the Magic.

Also the Kings have potential to win this poll, but how their chemistry is with Karl, Cousins and Rondo at the same team is anyone's guess. They also have the potential to be the worst record in the league at the same time I guess.

Now if someway somehow Exum breaks out then the Jazz will be in the playoffs for sure.
