Seems like they’re going to make a playoff push next year with the trades for AD and Young. I think they have a good shot especially in the east if AD is reasonably healthy.

"If AD is reasonably healthy"

Why would that be a reasonable assumption or hypothesis? He's played 1 full season (65 games per the NBA all-star inclusion eligibility) since COVID title.

Reasonably to me was ~40-50 games. Expecting 65+ games from him would be “unreasonable”.

I think having a full year of young and half of year of AD is enough to make the playin and maybe playoffs in the East.
