Western Conference:

When we look closely at the top five teams for each conference we can see that teams who made drastic trades,cuts, and changes to players and staff members a like are among the top competitors.
The Boston Celtics are sitting at the #1 is the East due to players like Kemba Walker (who they acquired in the off season) and Jaylen Brown (long standing team member) to help lead them to victory. With the new chemistry between players, it’s clear that the Celtics have hit a stride that works for them.
The LA Lakers are also top in the West, very much like the Celtics, as they have acquired Anthony Davis a top 5 player currently. Meshing with LeBron James, and freshly acquired champion Danny Green, the LA Lakers are on pace to sweep through teams this season.
