As the Bucks advanced deeper in the playoffs, the offense seemed to be the Big 3, Lopez, Portis and Connaughton. That's it.

I was surprised to see the GMs select the Hawks 5th in the East. I have them 3rd behind the Nets and Bucks. Miami added Lowry and Tucker, but they also lost Goran Dragic who always killed the Bucks. Philly has issues with Ben Simmons and I have never trusted Joel Embiid.
I think the Hawks kept their core, but the thought may be that the playoff success last year may have been a fluke.

Agree on Philly, that looks to be a mess from Simmons issue and Embiid injury problems, especially after a short off season.
