There's light at the end of the tunnel for the 76ers and Mavs I'd much rather be one of those teams than the Charlotte Hornets who are getting dubbed every game with no future Or the Wizards in complete disarray with nothing going on - Chandler Parsons

76ers GM Daryl Morey on the improvements made by other Eastern Conference teams Folks have speculated on the improvements of our East competitors I don't see it personally There weren't any needle movers in my opinion Zubac is now on Indiana Harden is in Cleveland Vucevic is in Boston

NBA on Prime Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki both agree it is time for the Mavericks to build around Cooper Flagg

Bill Simmons Pod Charlotte might go 120 in the Eastern Conference Playoffs They are just rolling through the league This is 2017 Warriors territory

Adam Silver Its not what the fans want although my caveat is and teams are in a difficult place because many of you have written the worst place to be is a middle of the road team and either be great or be bad because that will help you with the draft

Windhorst People I'm talking to believe there is real momentum for this Darius Garland is getting in his head that he's gonna be a Clipper James Harden is getting in his head that he's gonna be a Cav Hes going to get taken care of

Zach Lowe on the Nuggets It does have the feel of sometimes it just doesn't come together It's on my radar it just might be the year it doesn't happen and I expected it to happen because there is legitimately a great team in here but sometimes you run out of time to find it
