NBA Eastern Conference Shifts After Major Bucks, Hawks, Celtics Moves

News summary

The 2025 NBA offseason in the Eastern Conference has been marked by significant roster moves and injuries reshaping the championship landscape. The Boston Celtics face a challenging season without Jayson Tatum, who will miss the year due to an Achilles injury, while the Philadelphia 76ers aim to rebound despite a dismal 24-58 record and limited flexibility due to max contracts on their stars Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. The Milwaukee Bucks made headline moves by waiving Damian Lillard and signing Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million deal, despite financial constraints, and are banking on Giannis Antetokounmpo to shoulder more ball-handling duties amid uncertainties at point guard. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks bolstered their roster by acquiring Kristaps Porzingis and adding shooting depth with players like Luke Kennard and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, positioning themselves as potential contenders. The Pacers, coming off a Finals run, surprisingly lost Turner to Milwaukee despite efforts to keep their core intact, exacerbated by Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury. Overall, the Eastern Conference offseason reflects a mix of strategic risk-taking, injury setbacks, and roster reshuffling as teams prepare to compete in a highly competitive environment.
