A look at how the NBA’s biggest offseason acquisitions are faring one month into the season via JeffZillgitt
For year's its been agreed upon that the Western Conference was more superior than the East, but the tides seem to be turning. Tony Anders, Mike Sykes and Charles Curtis debate.Donovan Mitchell never advanced beyond the second round of the NBA playoffs with the Utah Jazz. But in his first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a conference finals appearance and beyond seem possible.
Utah changed the dynamics of the East and West by trading Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Bojan Bogdanovic and acquiring Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton and a pile of first-round draft picks. New York and Atlanta, the fourth and fifth seeds in the 2021 playoffs, struggled last season and understood the status quo wasn’t sufficient. The Hawks traded for Dejounte Murray, and the Knicks signed Jalen Brunson in free agency.Let’s look at how the NBA’s big offseason acquisitions are faring one month into the season:If the Cavs make a deep run, Mitchell will be a major reason why along with talented players next to him on the court.
The Hawks were not happy about the No. 8 seed and a first-round loss last season after reaching the conference finals in 2021. Atlanta traded for Murray, and he has been a perfect addition to Trae Young in the backcourt. Murray is a triple-double kind of player , averaging 21.5 points, 7.8 assists and 6.4 rebounds and shooting 45.3% from the field.
Brogdon’s scoring and minutes per game are down compared to last season as the Celtics figure out his role as a reserve, something he hasn't done since he came off the bench for Milwaukee in 2017-18. But he is reliable at 13.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 47.7% from the field and 36.8% on 3s. He’s often on the court in key moments especially when the Celtics need his defense on the perimeter.
