in regards to the philly-boston comparison
philly has higher level talent..the talent foundation is there
boston has more of a schematics and role player foundation down
both have top end draft pick assets and cap space in the future
the question is whether or not the talent foundation set in philly works right with whatever they come up with as a system and they get the right complimentary pieces
for boston, the question is whether or not they can get the right top notch 2-3 talents to fit in with much of what they already have
should be interesting to see how it works out. either way, looks like the atlantic could have a solid resurgance in the next few years (with BK collapsing but presumably the Knicks eventually being relevant)
