The Boston Celtics are close to having to make a firm decision on their future – will they continue to try to build around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown or will they attempt to hit the reset button and trade one of the two.

17. Toronto Raptors

There’s no question that Nick Nurse deserves some recognition for NBA’s Coach of the Year.
