The diplomatic foreign relations of the United Kingdom are implemented by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office headed by the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. The Prime Minister and numerous other agencies play a role in setting policy, and many institutions and businesses have a voice and a role.
Britain was the world's foremost power during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, most notably during the so-called "Pax Britannica" - a period of totally unrivaled supremacy and unprecedented international peace during the mid-to-late 1800s. The country continued to be widely considered a 'superpower' until the Suez crisis of 1956, and this embarrassing incident coupled with the loss of the empire left the UK's dominant role in global affairs to be gradually diminished. Nevertheless, the United Kingdom remains a great power and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a founding member of the G7, G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, Council of Europe, OSCE, and the Commonwealth of Nations, which is a legacy of the British Empire. The UK has been a member state of the European Union since 1973, but in 2016 a referendum triggered as a result of growing concerns over sovereignty and economic strategy determined that the country would begin proceedings to withdraw from the EU. Since the vote, policymakers have begun pursuing new trade agreements with other global partners.
British foreign relations were largely inherited from the Kingdom of England's place in the world prior to the unification of Great Britain into a single United Kingdom. British foreign policy initially focused on achieving a balance of power within Europe, with no one country achieving dominance over the affairs of the continent. This was a major reason behind the British wars against Napoleon, and the UK's involvement in the First and Second World Wars. The chief enemy of the British, from the Hundred Years' War until the defeat of Napoleon (1337-1815) was France, a larger country with a more powerful army. The British were generally successful in their many wars, with the notable exception of the American War of Independence (1775–1783), when Britain, without any major allies, was defeated by the colonials who had the support of France, the Netherlands and Spain. A favoured diplomatic strategy was subsidising the armies of continental allies, such as Prussia, thereby turning London's enormous financial power to military advantage. Britain relied heavily on its Royal Navy for security, seeking to keep it the most powerful fleet afloat with a full complement of bases across the globe. British dominance of the seas was vital to the formation of the British Empire, which was achieved through the maintenance of a Navy larger than the next two largest Navies combined for the majority of the 19th and early 20th centuries, prior to the entry of the United States into the Second World War.
In domestic British politics, the emerging Labour Party had a distinctive and suspicious foreign policy based on pacifism. Its leaders believed that peace was impossible because of capitalism, secret diplomacy, and the trade in armaments. That is it stressed material factors that ignored the psychological memories of the Great War, and the highly emotional tensions regarding nationalism and the boundaries of the countries. Nevertheless party leader Ramsay MacDonald spent much of his attention on European policies.
The British built up a very large worldwide British Empire, which peaked in size in 1922, after more than half a century of unchallenged global supremacy. The cumulative costs of fighting two world wars, however, placed a heavy burden upon the UK economy, and after 1945 the British Empire gradually began to disintegrate, with many territories granted independence. By the mid-to-late 1950s, the UK's status as a superpower had been largely diminished by the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union. Many former colonial territories joined the "Commonwealth of Nations," an organisation of fully independent nations now with equal status to the UK. Britain finally turned its attention to the continent, joining the European Union.
After 1945 Britain systematically reduced its overseas commitments. Practically all the colonies became independent. Britain reduced its involvements in the Middle east, with the humiliating Suez Crisis of 1956 marking the end of its status as a superpower. However Britain did forge close military ties with the United States, France, and traditional foes such as Germany, in the NATO military alliance. After years of debate (and rebuffs), Britain joined the Common Market in 1973; it is now the European Union. However it did not merge financially, and kept the pound separate from the Euro, which kept it partly isolated from the EU financial crisis of 2011. As of 23 June 2016, the UK has voted to leave the EU.
The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 highlighted a range of foreign policy initiatives of the UK government. Edward Longinotti notes how current British defence policy is grappling with how to accommodate two major commitments, to Europe and to an 'east of Suez' global military strategy, within a modest defence budget that can only fund one. He points out that Britain's December 2014 agreement to open a permanent naval base in Bahrain underlines its gradual re-commitment east of Suez.
A momentous change is underway in 2016 after the British electorate voted for "Brexit"—to leave the European Union.
1945-48 – Mandate for occupation of Palestine until the creation of Israel and an independent Palestine by the UN could be formalised in 1948. British forces often faced conflict with Arab nationalists and Jewish Zionist militia, including those who blew up the King David Hotel in 1946, Killing 91 people including civilians, military personnel and wounding 45 others.
1982 – Falklands War - war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands and other British South Atlantic territory.
The presence on the island of Cyprus of the British Overseas Territory and military bases Akrotiri and Dhekelia is sometimes raised as a sovereignty issue.
The UK has varied relationships with the countries that make up the Commonwealth of Nations which originated from the British Empire. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is the head of the Commonwealth and is head of state of 16 of its 53 member states. Those that retain the Queen as head of state are called Commonwealth realms. Over time several countries have been suspended from the Commonwealth for various reasons. Zimbabwe was suspended because of the authoritarian rule of its President and so too was Pakistan, but it has since returned. Countries which become republics are still eligible for membership of the Commonwealth so long as they are deemed democratic. Commonwealth nations such as Malaysia enjoyed no export duties in trade with the UK before the UK concentrated its economic relationship with EU member states.
Australia–United Kingdom relations are close, marked by shared history, culture, institutions and language, extensive people-to-people links, aligned security interests, and vibrant trade and investment cooperation. The long-standing relationship formally began in 1901 when the six British Crown colonies in Australia federated, and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed as a Dominion of the British Empire. Australia fought alongside Britain in World War I, notably at Gallipoli, and again in World War II. Andrew Fisher, Australian prime minister from 1914 to 1916, declared that Australia would defend the United Kingdom "to the last man and the last shilling." Until 1949, the United Kingdom and Australia shared a common nationality code. The final constitutional ties between United Kingdom and Australia ended in 1986 with the passing of the Australia Act 1986. Currently, roughly 1/4 of the Australian population was born in the UK, giving strong mutual relations. Furthermore, investment and trade between the two countries are still important.
The UK and Brunei have a long-standing and strong bilateral relationship, particularly on defence co-operation, trade and education. The UK continues to play a strong role in developing Brunei's oil and gas sector, and the Brunei Investment Agency is a significant investor in the UK, with their largest overseas operations in the City of London. The UK remains the destination of choice for Bruneian students, with about 1,220 of them enrolled in higher education in the UK in 2006-07.
London and Ottawa enjoy cooperative and intimate contact; the two countries are related through history, the Commonwealth of Nations, and their sharing of the same Head of State and monarch. Both countries fought together in both World Wars, the Korean War, and more recently cooperate in the coalition in the War in Afghanistan. Both are founding members of NATO, and also belong to the G7 (and the G8). Winston Churchill said Canada was the "linchpin of the English-speaking world", as it connects two other anglophone countries: the US and the UK. These three countries were the first to share the knowledge of the atom bomb with each other, as all three worked on the Manhattan Project together. Despite this shared history, the UK and Canada have grown apart economically. The UK was Canada's largest trade partner is the 19th and early 20th centuries, but is now well down the list. The two nations now find themselves in separate trade blocs, the EU for the UK and NAFTA for Canada. However relations are still strong, with large migration between the two countries, as well as Canada having the highest favourable public opinion of the UK in the world.
India has a high commission in London and two consulates-general in Birmingham and Edinburgh. The United Kingdom has a high commission in New Delhi and three deputy high commissions in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Although the Sterling Area no longer exists and the Commonwealth is much more an informal forum, India and the UK still have many enduring links. This is in part due to the significant number of people of Indian origin living in the UK. The Asian population in the UK results in steady travel and communication between the two countries. The English language, the railways, the legal and parliamentary systems and cricket have been warmly adopted. Indian cuisines are popular in the UK. The United Kingdom's favourite food is often reported to be Indian cuisine, although no official study reports this.
Economically the relationship between Britain and India is also strong. India is the second largest investor in Britain after the US, this being demonstrated by Tata Motors' ownership of British-based Jaguar Land Rover. Britain is also one of the largest investors in India.
In the 1950s and 1960s, serious consideration was given in both countries to the idea of a political union between the United Kingdom and Malta. However, this plan for "Integration with Britain" foundered, and Malta gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1964. British Monarch Queen Elizabeth II remained Queen of Malta until the country became a Republic in 1974. There is a small Maltese community in the United Kingdom. In addition, the British overseas territory of Gibraltar has been influenced by significant 18th and 19th Century immigration from Malta (see "History of the Maltese in Gibraltar").
Pakistan before partition was part of Indian Empire from 1 November 1858 to 13 August 1947. Both UK and Pakistan are active members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Favourable opinion of Britain is much lower in Pakistan, relative to many other Commonwealth countries, this is because the UK is seen as an ally of the US. However, large numbers of Pakistanis live, work and study in the UK and the British government has refused to support US infringements into northern Pakistan during the Afghanistan War, thinking it wrong to violate Pakistani sovereignty as so.
The United Kingdom and the United States are close military allies. The two countries share cultural similarities, as well as military research and intelligence facilities. The UK has purchased military technology from the USA such as Tomahawk cruise missiles and Trident nuclear missiles, and the US has purchased equipment from Britain (e.g. Harrier Jump Jet). The USA also maintains a large number of military personnel in the UK. In recent years, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States have often been close friends, for example Tony Blair and Bill Clinton (and later Blair and George W. Bush), and the often like-minded Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Present British policy is that The United Kingdom's relationship with the United States represents Britain's "most important bilateral relationship".
Although on opposing sides of the Cold War, both countries were allies during World War II, and are members of the UN. But because of the Cold War, First and Second Opium War, and the status of Hong Kong, and other issues, China-UK relations at some points in history have been complicated, but better at other times.
Contact began in 1600 with the arrival of William Adams (Adams the Pilot, Miura Anjin) on the shores of Kyūshū at Usuki in Ōita Prefecture. During the Sakoku period (1641–1853) there were no relations, but the treaty of 1854 saw the resumption of ties which, despite the hiatus of the Second World War, remain very strong in the present day.
On 2002, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the then Prime Minister Tony Blair met to talk about Poverty and Terrorism.
The Republic of Korea (South Korea) gives 18 January 1949 as the date of the establishment of formal relations with the United Kingdom, although diplomatic ties go back to 1883. British military participation in the Korean War during the 1950s was significant, but relations between the two countries at the time were described as "tenuous", with relatively little known about each other. Commercial and trade relationships grew rapidly during the 1970s. During the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s, the Queen made a state visit to South Korea which was well received at a time of crisis in the country. Today, there are strong economic and diplomatic links between the two countries. The United Kingdom has a visa scheme through which young South Koreans can live and work in the UK for two years. There is a British embassy in Seoul and a South Korean embassy in London.
The UK has had good relations with the rest of Europe since the Second World War. It became a member of the European Economic Community in 1973, which eventually evolved into the European Union through the Maastricht Treaty twenty years later. Although the UK does not use the Euro and is not a member of the Eurozone, it still plays a leading role in the day-to-day workings of the EU. However the United Kingdom has been referred to as a "peculiar" member of the EU, due to its occasional disputes relations with the organisation and differences through geography, history and opt-outs and polls have found that, of the 28 nationalities in the European Union, British people feel the least European. On 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union and the incumbent government has signalled its intention to invoke Article 50, the mechanism to commence withdrawal negotiations by March 2017.
Bulgaria has an embassy in London and a Honorary Consulate in Dundee.
The UK maintains a 22 000 strong British Army in Western Germany, as part of the British Forces Germany.
Italy has an embassy in London, two Consulate Generals in Edinburgh & London and Honorary Consulates in Belfast, Glasgow & Liverpool. Italy also has Honorary Vice Consulates in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Cardiff & Nottingham and Honorary Consular Agency in Ashford, Bristol, Chestnut, Dundee, Greenock, Guernsey, Hull, Jersey, Newcastle upon Tyne, Peterborough, Watford & Woking.
The United Kingdom has an embassy in Madrid and Consulate Generals in Barcelona and Madrid. The United Kingdom also has Consulates in Bilbao, Ibiza, Las Palmas, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife.
The United Kingdom has an embassy in Ankara, a Consulate Generals in Istanbul, a Vice Consulate in Antalya and a Consulate in Izmir. The United Kingdom has Honorary Consulates in Adana, Bodrum, Fethiye and Marmaris.
The United Kingdom has an embassy in Tel Aviv and a consul in Eilat. Israel has an embassy and a consulate in London.
The United Kingdom has an embassy in Mexico City and a consulate in Monterrey.
Britain also once played an important role in investments and diplomacy in Chile and South America as a whole.

RICHARD DIAMOND, PRIVATE DETECTIVE In 1945, Dick Powell portrayed Phillip Marlowe in the movie "Murder My Sweet" based on Raymond Chandler's novel "Farewell My Lovely". This was a radical departure in character for Mr. Powell from a Hollywood song and dance man to a hard-boiled detective. On June 11,1945, Lux Radio Theatre brought "Murder My Sweet" to radio, again with Dick Powell in the lead. These two performances prompted his selection for the part of Richard...

Dragnet - Single Episodes
DRAGNET Dragnet , the brainchild of Jack Webb, may very well be the most well-remembered, and the best, radio police drama series. From September, 1949 through February 1957, Dragnet 's 30 minute shows, broadcast on NBC, brought to radio true police stories in a low-key, documentary style. The origins of Dragnet can be traced to a semi-documentary film, "He Walked by Night" from 1948, in which Webb had a small role. Both employed the same Los Angeles Police Department technical...
Adventures of Philip Marlowe - Single Episodes
ADVENTURES OF PHILIP MARLOWE Elements of mystery have always been represented in literature, but the detective story didn't arrive on the scene until the mid 1800's. Edgar Allan Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue, published in 1841, was the first. The Murder's main character, C. Auguste Dupin, was a brilliant detective who relied on superior deductive powers to solve the crime. He and his unnamed narrator companion solved this and two other mysteries. Later in the 19th century Sir Arthur Conan...

Theater Five - Single Episodes

THEATER FIVE Theater Five was ABC's attempt to revive radio drama during the early 1960s. The series name was derived from its time slot, 5:00 PM. Running Monday through Friday, it was an anthology of short stories, each about 20 minutes long. News programs and commercials filled out the full 30 minutes. There was a good bit of science fiction and some of the plots seem to have been taken from the daily newspaper. Fred Foy, of The Lone Ranger fame, was an ABC staff announcer in the early 60s,...

X MINUS ONE X Minus One aired on NBC from 24 April 55 until 9 January 58 for a total of 124 episodes with one pilot or audition story. There was a revival of the series in 1973 when radio was attempting to bring back radio drama and it lasted until 1975. The show occupied numerous time slots through out its run in the 50's and thus was never able to generate a large following. X Minus One was an extension of Dimension X which aired on NBC from 1950-51. The first fifteen scripts used for X Minus...

The Six Shooter - Single Episodes
THE SIX SHOOTER The Six Shooter brought James Stewart to the NBC microphone on September 20, 1953, in a fine series of folksy Western adventures. Stewart was never better on the air than in this drama of Britt Ponset, frontier drifter created by Frank Burt. The epigraph set it up nicely: "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged: his skin is sun dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl. People call them both The Six Shooter." Ponset was a...

DIMENSION X Dimension X was first heard on NBC April 8, 1950, and ran until September 29, 1951.

Some fine isolated science fiction stories were developed on the great anthology shows, Suspense and Escape . But until the premiere of Dimension X -- a full two decades after network radio was established -- there were no major science fiction series of broad appeal to...

Fritz Lang used an similar premise in his 1930s German movie with Peter Lorre playing M , a psychopathic murderer of children. But the American radio series was even creepier.

We meet again: Texas players to reunite with ex-teammate John Bonney at Texas Tech
Posted November 7th, 2018
@aasdanny
Bonney was a part of Charlie Strong's first recruiting class and left UT just before Tom Herman's first season.
He started 15 career games for Texas, including three against Texas Tech.
He had 87 tackles and 14 pass breakups in his UT career; he has 26 tackles and two forced fumbles this season.
If the Longhorns need any restaurant recommendations this weekend in Lubbock, they know who to call.
When Texas travels for its prime-time showdown at Texas Tech, the Longhorns will be met at Jones AT&T Stadium by Red Raiders safety John Bonney, who played at Texas from 2014 to 2017 before departing the team as a graduate transfer. Bonney has started seven games this season.
"It's a little strange, but I'm excited for the opportunity to see those guys again," Bonney said this week. "Those are guys I've put a bunch of blood, sweat and tears in with. From the competitive side, I know they aren't going to take it lightly."
Bonney was a member of Charlie Strong's first recruiting class at Texas. The Houston Lamar product started 13 times at cornerback in 2015 and 2016. He was moved to safety when Tom Herman took over in 2017; he was used that fall on special teams and in UT's dime package.
With the Texas secondary returning key players and with the addition of highly-regarded recruits, Bonney appeared headed for another complementary role this season. He went through spring practices and one week of fall camp in August, but announced on Aug. 14 that he was leaving the Longhorns. Playing time wasn't the only factor, Bonney said.

The split has been amicable. Bonney said Herman has been "a class act." "John is a graduate of the University of Texas, gave us four years of his blood, sweat and tears," Herman said Monday. "We're very, very thankful to him for that."
Bonney earned a degree in corporate communications from UT, so he was eligible to play immediately at Tech. He wanted familiarity with his new coaches, which led him to Lubbock. Red Raiders defensive backs coach Clay Jennings worked at Texas in 2016, and defensive coordinator David Gibbs recruited Bonney while he was coaching at Houston. Bonney, the son of a former UH basketball player, had met Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury when Kingsbury was a Cougars assistant.
Bonney joined the Red Raiders on Aug. 15, the day after he announced he was leaving Texas, and he started in the Red Raiders' season opener against Ole Miss. He has accumulated 26 tackles and two forced fumbles this season. Additionally, his experience has been an asset.
"He's quiet, but he tells everyone when they are wrong and he can straighten the group up when we're off-topic or doing things we're not supposed to be," Tech senior safety Jah'Shawn Johnson said. "He does a great job of that."
Almost ironically, some of Bonney's best moments at Texas came in games against Texas Tech. He had a career-high nine tackles against the Red Raiders in 2015. He set up a touchdown drive that year with a forced fumble, and he caused another key turnover in the 2016 meeting.
This week, though, the tables will be turned. Texas knows about Bonney's weaknesses, while Bonney can diagnose tendencies of the UT receivers. Neither Herman nor Bonney, though, think that familiarity is much of a factor.
"I think maybe if this was the third game of the season, it would be more of an advantage," Bonney said. "These (Texas Tech) coaches are good at what they do. With them having so many games, they are able to break down this offense without having too much input from me."
Texas Tech's senior day is scheduled for Saturday, so Bonney will observe the occasion with ex-teammates he still keeps in touch with. Several Longhorns said this week they were looking forward to seeing him. The pictures and pleasantries will have to wait until after the game, though.
"That's still my guy at all times," UT defensive lineman Chris Nelson said. "Saturday, when he's on the field, we're just going to have to give it to him."

2018-2019 NBA Team Season Preview: Eastern Conference
Ashanti Lee Seabron Send an email October 23, 2018Last Updated: October 23, 2018
With the new NBA season upon us, basketball fans worldwide are excited to see it will pan out. Without further ado, let's look at how we feel the Eastern Conference will shape up this season.
Atlanta Hawks: The Hawks are looking at another rebuilding season. Rookie Trae Young has a world of hype around him, and time will tell if he's able to live up to it. The addition of veteran and future hall-of-famer Vince Carter is sure to provide the Hawks young locker room with valuable veteran wisdom and knowledge, but in no way shape or form is this team to be taken with even the slightest level of seriousness this season.
2018-19 NBA Championship Hopes: Very Low
Boston Celtics: Simply put, this is the season in which the Eastern conference is Boston's to lose. With Kyrie Irving's championship experience, Jayson Tatum's all-star metamorphosis , a perennial Coach of the Year candidate in Brad Stevens, and an extremely deep roster to boot, Boston has all of the necessary weapons to take the next step this year. There shouldn't be any reason why Boston doesn't find themselves as Eastern Conference Champions in May, but time will tell if it's enough to hoist up the Larry O'Brien trophy in June.
2018-19 NBA Championship Hopes: High
Brooklyn Nets: Brooklyn proved to be a more competitive team than many expected last season. Guard D'Angelo Russell looks to be a nice building block for the team's future, and coach Kenny Atkinson is proving to be a respectable head coach in the league. This team is still lightyears away from being a viable threat. While this season should be an improvement, the Nets still have a long way to go in reaching the playoffs again.
Charlotte Hornets: Charlotte is somewhat of a complex team to decipher. While they're led by a talented point guard in Kemba Walker, trade rumors involving him swirled around the team at last season's trade deadline. It would be immature to dismiss those rumors as nonsense, and if the Hornets don't see an improvement in their record this season, we could very well see owner Michael Jordan begin a rebuilding process in Buzz City.
2018-19 NBA Championship Hopes: Low
Chicago Bulls: With the addition of hometown Jabari Parker over the offseason, the Bulls have a very young and promising roster. Alongside Zach Lavine and Lauri Markkanen, Chicago certainly has a bright future. For this season however, things will most likely be more of the same, as the Bulls are simply too young and inexperienced to reach the playoffs with their current roster.
Cleveland Cavaliers: With Lebron's departure from the The Land (his second in this decade), the defending conference champion Cavaliers will obviously be a weaker NBA team this season. Unlike 2010 however, the team isn't left with an extremely dire situation roster-wise. Led by a familiar face in Kevin Love, time will tell if he can still channel his old Minnesota self. It will also be interesting to see the development of rookie Collin Sexton, who showed flashes of both talent and intensity in this year's summer league. Cleveland's days of main-eventing the NBA in June are unequivocally over, as at their ABSOLUTE BEST, they are a fringe 8-seed in the Eastern Conference. And even that's a generous thought to have regarding this team.
Detroit Pistons: The hiring of last season's coach of the year award recipient Dwane Casey was a great move by the Pistons. Detroit finally has a proven coaching leader on their staff, and with Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin leading the team, Detroit seems poised to return the NBA postseason for the first time since 2016. While that may be refreshing for Pistons fans to hear, comparing Detroit's top talent to the top talent of other Eastern Conference threats gives indication that the furthest Detroit can go this season is a 1st-round playoff knockout.
Indiana Pacers: Victor Oladipo's emergence into a bonafide NBA All-star last season was a saving grace for Indiana after losing Paul George. Oladipo will keep the Pacers talented enough to continue reaching the playoffs, but without any more additions of high-level talent, that is all that Indianapolis can expect of their team this season.
Miami Heat: The Miami Heat have been a major player in the Jimmy Butler trade sweepstakes over the past month. Even if Pat Riley is able to pull this trade off, it still won't be enough for Miami to once again be taken seriously as a title contender. Hassan Whiteside showed in last year's postseason that he may not be a capable leader of an NBA team, and even in the weaker NBA conference that will prove to be an issue. Dwayne Wade's swan-song season will be both entertaining and heartbreaking to watch, but the most Miami can hope for this season (with or without Jimmy Butler) is an early Playoff knockout.
Milwaukee Bucks: The Bucks are on the verge of being a dominant force in not only their conference, but the NBA as well. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Superstar in the making, and much to the chagrin and fear of other teams, he's only getting better. The hiring of talented coach Mike Budenolzer gives the Bucks some much-needed credibility on their coaching staff, and complementary players such as Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Malcolm Brogdon will give Antetokounmpo some respectable pieces to work with. While not quite a serious threat yet, this season will give Milwaukee the chance to not only grow more as a group, but build up their reputation as a team to keep a close eye on in the very near future.
2018-19 NBA Championship Hopes: 50/50 Shot
New York Knicks: Kristaps Porzingis's ACL tear shattered any chances of the Knicks making a leap in the standings this season. Rookie Kevin Knox showed great promise in this year's summer league, and should develop into a tremendous NBA player with time. David Fizdale's hiring as Head Coach was an outstanding move for the Knicks, and from the outside looking in new GM Scott Perry seems to have the right mind frame for New York's future. Without adequate talent this season however, the Knicks are most likely destined to again find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference come April.
Orlando Magic: Orlando hasn't been taken seriously in even the slightest sense since Dwight Howard's departure in 2012, and unfortunately for Magic fans this season should be no different. Rookie Mohamed Bamba is on course to develop into a solid NBA player, and new head coach Steve Clifford is a respectable hire for the franchise. Talent-wise however, Orlando doesn't have enough to make noise in the Eastern Conference. Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier are fine players, but it's simply not enough to lead the Magic into the playoffs.
Philadelphia 76ers: The Sixers are one of the more entertaining teams in the NBA. Led by their young 1-2 punch in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, Philadelphia undoubtably has a bright present, and an even brighter future. How successful they end up becoming, however, relies on one key component in particular. Markelle Fultz. Fultz, the former number one draft pick in 2017, has faced some road blocks in young career (injuries, lack of a consistent jumpshot), but he still looks like a promising player. Embiid and Simmons are extremely talented, but Philadelphia is still one high-level piece away from joining the upper echelon of NBA teams. Fultz's development, in many ways, could be the biggest determinant in whether or not "The Process" was truly a success.
Toronto Raptors: Toronto has been on the cusp of making a championship run for the past few seasons now, but always fell short against the juggernaut known as Lebron James. With James taking his talents west however, things may finally be in place for a Raptors finals appearance. Adding on the fact that they replaced Demar Derozan with Kawhi Leonard, and it's safe to say that the hype is real in the great north. Letting last season's coach of the year Dwane Casey walk was a questionable move, but new head coach Nick Nurse was the brainchild of the team's offensive system that has brought them success over the recent years. If Kawhi can prove to be the same MVP-caliber player he was for the Spurs, and team cornerstones Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas can continue their excellent play, then (at the minimum) Toronto has no excuse not to reach the conference finals.
Washington Wizards: The Wizards are a team that struggle with consistency, and quite frankly it's always a challenge to predict how their season will pan out. Led by an exceptional all-star backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal, Washington has the talent to a special team in the east. Last season, however, we saw veiled cracks in their shield, with team members hinting at the possibility that they didn't like playing alongside Wall. While these rumors were (and remain) simple speculation, it does lend credence to the questions of why this team can never break through to make a deep playoff run. The addition of Dwight Howard should be a good boost on the teams's defensive side, but it's not a big enough move to make the Wizards a serious title contender. If this season proves to be more of the same for Washington, it would not be far-fetched to see either Wall or Beal traded next offseason.
