Being 8 deep is a minimum playoff rotation GSW and LAC can go much deeper, and with the recent additions in BOS I think you can say the same. MIL is very top heavy like we would be (although I’d argue their top 3 with Giannis, Chris and Jrue would be better than ours) and they’re trying to figure out how to stay healthy and pivot since their championship.
The Bucks did not go nearly that deep when winning the chip. Hell, they started Wesley freaking Mathews. They basically went 4 deep and then it got fairly ugly. GSW and LAC are deep, but they are also aging and have significant health concerns. The Warriors championship run was a rare stretch of games in the last 2 or 3 years where all of their top guys were healthy. Boston is deep and young, but I don't think Tatum is in the same class as Luka or Giannis. A team of Luka/SGA/Dorian/Wood/Dinwiddie/Bullock/Maxi/McGee is 8 deep and in the conversation.
