We can remove CHI from the list. Currently ranked 3rd in the East after playing some good teams like the OKC/Bucks/Magic/Grizzlies, they are just too good to tank now unless they do an intentional tear down/shutdown. Or else they are guaranteed at least a play-in spot. Addition of Josh Giddey was huge for them.
I'd put Atlanta on the list. Getting swept by WAS is just not a good look. They aren't even trying to tank, as the spurs owns their pick. They are just bad and have a very top-heavy roster.
I'm not going to change the list after 4 games. We still have such a small sample size. The list likely will change, but after more like 20 games.
