10. Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics lost Kemba Walker during the offseason but added Dennis Schroder, Josh Richardson, and Al Horford. Even though the Celtics are being faded by many, I’m not sure that’s a smart decision. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are still getting better and the additions will surely help this team’s depth.

Kemba never seemed like a great fit with the team so I’m not sure how big of a loss that will end up being. His absence will absolutely hurt, but this is a team that should be able to recover and live with it.

The Celtics have all the makings for a potential dark horse contender in the East. Especially if Horford has anything left in the tank to offer the team on a consistent basis this season.
