....for guard Ish Smith and center Viacheslav Kravtsov...money saving move for Phoenix, who will probably waive Michael Beasley, as well.

Unless Sanders has a beast year, I really don't see the Bucks' strategy with these moves. They've added quite a few vets, but replaced Jennings and Monta with Knight and Mayo. This gets them 7th or 8th in the East at best.

Miami
Indy
Chicago
BK
NY
Cleveland* (with a healthy Kyrie and Bynum)

That seems to be a legit top 6.

Milwaukee has to compete with Detroit, Washington (stretch, but they played well with a healthy John Wall last year + adding Otto Porter) & Atlanta (Millsap and Horford with Brand backing them up and Schroder and Teague in the backcourt should be decent enough) for those last 2 spots.

Not a lock. Pretty much, Milwaukee is stuck in purgatory. Not good enough to be great. Not bad enough to be terrible. 35-40 wins seems to be their ceiling.
