#1 Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics managed to sign Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter in free agency, although the summer was ultimately a disappointment for the franchise. Al Horford and Kyrie Irving both bolted to rival teams in the East, while the Celtics were never serious contenders to sign their number one target in Anthony Davis. The lack of talent hitting free agency next summer, also means that the Celtics face a tough task holding onto Jaylen Brown.
As things stand, Boston has no chance at competing with the Sixers, Nets, and Bucks - and aside from Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker, the Celtics should allow the Suns to have their pick of players. Ultimately, the Celtics need a player of Booker's caliber to challenge the East's best, and the team should throw everything at a deal if the Suns show any appetite to trade Booker.
