The NBA regular season has been underway for over two months, and the league is experiencing severe polarization in both the East and West conferences. In the West, the Thunder have taken an early lead, with a tightly packed group of teams from fourth-placed Mavericks to ninth-placed Spurs, separated by only three games. However, several teams have effectively dropped out of playoff contention, including the rebuilding Kings, tanking Trail Blazers and Jazz, as well as the Pelicans, who are forced to tank. The East is no different, with the Cavaliers starting off strong at 29 wins and 4 losses, leaving the Celtics and Knicks to battle for second place. The remaining Eastern Conference teams, such as the Magic, Bucks, Hawks, and Heat, offer some competition, but most are essentially giving away points to the top teams like the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Knicks. At the bottom of the East, the Wizards have long planned to rebuild, hoping to trade away Kuzma and Poole for some rebuilding assets. The Hornets' LaMelo Ball has been impressive this season, averaging 30 points and 7.4 assists per game, but he has been unable to lead his team to victory and is plagued by injuries, limiting him to being a regular-season stat-padder. Another team that spent hundreds of millions of dollars this summer with the intention of making a playoff push or even contending for a championship has started with a disappointing record of 7 wins and 26 losses, a win rate of just 22%! Even so, in the East, the last-place Wizards are only eight…
